have you enquired to aus post, if you do make sure you dont tell them you have the package, that way you should have a good argument, the bloke i sent my boot lid too said he didn't get it and then it turned up, it was this that made me read all the crap on the back of the form,

Stuff falls out of packages at the depots, and often they can only guess where it comes from, so they sometimes make mistakes putting it all back together.

Give them a call, they will usually have a large box full of this stuff waiting for it's original owner to call and claim. It will be around, just give them a call, a camshaft is a pretty obvious item! they will have it catalogued by date found so will be able to guess it as yours if you give them the details.

I used to work their at one of the mail sorting centers as a maintainer on the big sorting machines. There are about 50 or 60 cameras on the floors looking at everything, the security camera guy enters and leaves by his own entrance and never mingles. The stuff that comes out of the mail would stagger you. Always maybe a hundred dollars a night from the machines, knives, diamond rings, pieces of metal cross section, usb sticks, car parts, junk....just everything.

People stick all kinds of things in an envelope and then they fly out at 10 meters/second as they negotiate the right hand bends in a mail sorting machine. Two dollar coins from nanna are choice little projectiles. They are the right mass and size to fly out of the envelope.

I used to curl up under a machine with a mangled magazine of choice that had been ripped to shreds and otherwise mangled :wink:
All the money (coins of small amounts) goes in a big collection box and goes to a charity of Ausposts choice. To make sure you were spotted by the cameras doing the right thing we all use to have these elaborate swan lake style skips and jumps to deposit the coins in the box.

Call Auspost hotline and they will put you in contact with the right person, it's a common enough issue.

We all had our own style, like the NRL :) It was a pleasant working environment, nice non-stressed people everywhere. 12 hour days, 4 day weeks. (4 on, 3 off, 4 on 6 off 8 on etc etc etc, great money/training plans)

One of the nicest jobs I had, last of the great public service careers. But noooooo, I had to go back to sea I says, too bloody quiet i says...... :roll: Such a dumbarse....

Any registered post item is insured to $100 minimum (unless you buy additional insurance). Lodge a claim with Auspost and they'll send Wade a letter asking them to confirm never receiving it, then they'll try and find it and if not found will pay you the value of the cam.

Make sure you complain as registered parcels are delivered by contractors in many areas and they don't bother to get signatures. If enough people complain, the guy will change his ways or they'll replace him (I know as the one in my area was).
