orders to AUS from EU

has anyone else noticed that almost nothing is arriving from the EU. i have ordered around 10-12 items which have been a no show, i have only recieved a love letter one of these times. THIS IS TO MULTIPLE NAMES AND MULTIPLE ADDRESSES (all real people at real places) and from multiple accounts. both letter sized goods and packaged goods.

they must of obtained my pgp OR vendors are just scamming the shit out of customers. i have family in the EU who regularly send mail home which has not been physiccaly opened and inspected, my immediate family also receives packages from the EU while have not been opened.

Why is there such a bad success rate, have they just put up customs from EU to AUS

Vendor list would be amazing.

If people are ordering to Aus and potentially getting scammed you'd save a lot of people's money.

has anyone else in aus gotten a love letter for something other than prescription. i.e schedule 8 or 9

Im going to be posting a list of every eu vendor that has scammed australians. its just not cricketl ill wait for 50 days and then post it, unless i receive a love letter im assuming they are just ass raping us.

If you dont want to send here then fine but dont take our money, fucking cunts.

i suggest all other australians name and shame vendors who take our money without the intention of sending product

Australasia

Australia Start date: 15 June 2015 End date: Ongoing

Industrial action by the Australian Customs Union and staff is due to take place from Monday 15th June. This is likely to disrupt inbound flows of all mail into all Australian gateways.

Currently there is no information available on the strike end date and Australia Post is not able to confirm what the level of delay there may be as a result.

Update: 29 June 2015 Industrial action by the Australian Customs Union and staff, reported on 15th June is continuing. Australia Post is reporting that the impact is minimal and there has been no noticeable impact on inbound priority products.

Australia Post is working very closely and coordinating with Customs management to reduce the impacts. Further action is planned in the coming days and weeks.

Europe

Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Italy and Austria. Start date: 23 June 2015

Due to strike action at Calais and subsequent issues around border security, traffic in and out of mainland Europe has been delayed. The delays are expected to last up to 48 hours.

Royal Mail's suppliers have been using alternative routes where possible and flows into and out of the UK continue with some delay.

Update: 29 June 2015

It has been reported that the situation at the Channel Tunnel is continuing. The security issues are continuing and the port workers at Calais have announced further industrial action.

It is unclear how this will affect traffic and mail but delays are expected on the crossing from France to UK, which would have a knock on effect on the availability of outward bound transports and drivers.

Delays from the UK are currently up to 3 hours but inbound from France is up to 9 hours. Our suppliers are trying to use alternative crossings where possible.

All Royal Mail Letters products are also experiencing delays of up to 24hrs.
