My last 3 international parcel deliveries have ended up at my local PO ready for pickup, supposedly they had tried to deliver but left no calling card that they did.
I have also heard similar happening to family & friends as the AUS Parcel Post Couriers are all contractors & the word is they don't give a toss as long as they have tried they can take it to the nearest PO that handles parcel post.
So I suggest you either contact Aussie Post / Parcel Post or alternatively go to your normal PO where missed delivery parcel get left, if you know which that is.
All you need is your ID (drivers licence) the calling card just helps them if you have it.
BTW eventually the PO will send a pickup parcel note in the normal post run as they can only hold the parcel for 2 weeks then it gets returned to sender.
Usually they will send that note a few days before it has to be returned, given your (AT) 13 days then I would expect it's not far off this process.

No idea how people are getting there gear in 4-5 days like they say.
I've also been noticing of late that they dont even bother dropping off parcels, they just leave a card. Why am I paying for a mail service only to go and get it my self!

which in turn uses Australia Post. Along the way, it has to clear customs in the UK and Australia.
There is a host of way your parcel can be delayed - none of which are in Wiggle's control. If you're lucky, you
can get it in 5 days or better. If you're unlucky, it could be a month.
Wiggle's deliveries tend to arrive quicker than other UK bike shops - possibly because they have a better route to
the airport hub.

Maybe your delivery defaulted to express service?tterbw wrote:I'm always amazed with wiggles delivery times. My last order was placed on a Friday and I received it on the following Monday!
I once paid for snail mail, but for some reason it got expressed to me in 2 working days.
