An Aussie has slammed Australia Post after their parcel was nearly delivered to their home before being inexplicably sent across the country.
Jay Morgan explained they had ordered a package from Melbourne, when it arrived at a distribution centre in southeast Queensland.
Jay claimed the package was just five minutes away from their home when it was suddenly sent all the way to South Australia.
‘I am about to crash out over Australia Post,’ Jay said in a TikTok video.
‘I had a parcel that was supposed to arrive either yesterday or today. It got to the final stop on Wednesday – the last depot before it gets delivered.
‘Why is it now in South Australia? I am in southeast Queensland. This parcel was sent from Melbourne.
‘It got through southeast Queensland, like five kilometres down the road from where I live. In what world does this make any sense? Australia Post, what are we doing?’
Jay claimed it made absolutely no sense, as they could’ve easily picked up the parcel when it was in southeast Queensland.

‘I could have literally driven five minutes down the road and picked it up from the depot yesterday,’ Jay said.
‘This is really the best that our country has to offer?’
Dozens of commenters were shocked by the strange delivery route and did their best to make light of the situation.
‘This is the most efficient way. Obviously,’ one joked.
‘Australia Post are literally the worst when it comes to delivering packages,’ another said.
‘It’s called Australia Post, it needs to see more of Australia first,’ another wrote.
‘The parcel decided it wanted an extended holiday,’ another said.
Others shared their own Australia Post horror stories.

‘Australia Post once shipped my wheelchair to Canada. It was being sent from Sydney to Newcastle,’ one wrote.
‘This happened to me. It was coming from the Gold Coast to Logan and it went to Adelaide,’ another said.
‘I had this happen to me last year with a box of diabetes supplies,’ another wrote.
‘I had the same thing happen to me. Started in Queensland, bounced between NSW and Queensland for three weeks,’ another said.
An Australia Post spokesperson said: ‘We are keen to look into this matter further and encourage the customer to get in touch with us directly via our website or calling 13 POST (13 7678).’
