“Lost in transit”. - INFURIATING
My parcel has been stuck in the Melbourne network for about 13 days (14th–27th April) with no updates since “processed at sorting facility.” No scans or movement at all since then.
I contacted Australia Post and today (27th April) they’ve officially deemed it lost in transit, but they also said it could still show up, just with delayed or missing scans. So it’s in that weird situation where it’s marked lost, but not necessarily gone yet.
What’s confusing is it’s already in Melbourne, so you’d expect it to either go out for delivery or get a final scan, but it’s just been sitting there with nothing happening.
A couple people told me they’re seeing similar issues right now. One said:
“Bet it’s the Sunshine facility…. It’s a semi regular occurrence. We’ve had parcels declared lost, replaced for the customer and then the original delivered.”
And another mentioned:
“Same issues with Melbourne at the moment to Tassie, limited scans than normal, some no scans then magically out for delivery. Something might be broken or there could be staffing issues.”
Just wondering if anyone else has had parcels marked as “lost in transit” like this but still ended up arriving, or if that usually means it’s actually gone
