#AusPost postie just arrived with a parcel at the front door. Called me by my first name (it's not his first visit recently). Not sure at first whether to be offended at the familiarity, but then decided I liked it.

@keithzg @timrichards @mpjgregoire i can't tell whether the OP is being ironic but its sure sounds like he isn't... Australia Post is most definately privatised, contrary to what the OP suggests.

Oh and its website is basically mitm attacked by amazon cloudfront, lol... the encryption is done in the usa and amazon sees EVERYTHING you do on #auspost (EDIT .com.au)

You can check this yourself, just try to access the site with a privacy-respecting browser like #TorBrowser, be sure to use safest mode.

If this is news to you, Tim, pls share to compensate for the misinfo, cheers

Continued thread

The #auspost saga continues. I ordered some oil from Northern NSW yesterday. It will be delivered (Logan QLD) today.

Meanwhile, the laptop being shipped from about 20 minutes up the road is still showing as 'Ready for Processing' in the Aus Post system. :awesome_rotate:
