    Would you be OK with your parcel being tossed like this?

    Yeah, Star Track are not the best. Where we used to live they didn’t ever attempt deliveries in the area and just took the items straight to the post office. The posties complained regularly but nothing changed. Where we live now there doesnt seem to be a problem and we’ve had deliveries...

    Sick of missed packages and sneaky fees? Here’s what you can do

    Yes they do. But now my mother in law is in her late 90’s and in a nursing home so we usually send flowers or a plant for birthdays and Christmas. They are amazing with deliveries, delivering Christmas Eve, and Mothers Day and we include a box of chocolates with it. I’m told the flowers are...

    Are we all liars?

    I am the worlds worse liar, it is written all over my face, so over the years I’ve just owned up to everything. If I’m overcharged at the shops I will point it out, but usually if I notice at the time. If it was a large amount I would go back but a small un-noticed amount I wouldn’t, but the...

    Sick of missed packages and sneaky fees? Here’s what you can do

    I think I would do what someone said in the article, if they wanted to charge me for delivery they can return it to sender and I would get a refund. I’ve gone through having to pay extra for delivery when sending gifts to family in the UK. I have found out since if the item is over £40 (I think)...

    Popular shopping site faces EU blowback over alleged illegal and unsafe product sales

    I recon you have competition for being TEMU’s best customer lol. If I want anything I always check there first. I’m finding that with them being agents I’m getting some things delivered very quickly and the quality is amazing. The things that are coming directly, I might have to pay for delivery...

    Kmart’s gone all-in on green…is the new look genius or just plain gaudy?

    I’m loving the green. It’s been edging in for a while now, not just in furnishings but in clothes and bedding too. I’m so on board

    Experts reveal simple tricks homeowners use to outsmart burglars amid break-in surge

    Our neighbours over the road have installed security cameras so good that they come on when we close our blinds lol. They pick up the slightest movement, like our garage door opening. I said to them it has saved us getting cameras installed. They miss nothing lol

    You’ve queued at post offices for decades—now they’re finally listening to your feedback

    We are also lucky to have great delivery people. Recently both our regular delivery man and the postie were both away for a few weeks. Their replacements were good too but the regular people came back at the same time and I said to them both that it was good having ‘the family’ back together...

She has chosen to inform all of her friends as to what she is going through. Everyone is rallying around her, it’s good to...

    Not so neighbourly: Complaint triggers unruly behaviour in high-end neighbourhood

    Again the victim has no rights. What is wrong with the police? Are they scared of him? The whole justice system is a joke. I’m so sorry to hear what you’re going through.

    You raised your kids not to run with scissors...now teens are giving haircuts on trains

    On our journey home one day we watched a very muscly guy use the train as his personal gym. He was quite entertaining although I think his performance might have been to get the attention of a couple of young girl travellers, but he certainly got my attention lol

    Pet photo

    Pet photo This is a photo of my 8 yo Lab, Clancy. The vet took the photo of him after he had completed his acupuncture treatment for arthritis. He’s so much happier now and just wants to play. It’s like having him as a puppy again

    Car Dilemma: Can this tiny gadget add a layer of security for older Aussie drivers?

    I’m a bit confused. The other day we had an article saying there was no need to test older drivers as most accidents were involving younger drivers. This one states most accidents involve older drivers.

    Shoppers unknowingly spend more after surprising supermarket discovery

    I have my list and mostly stick with it. I’m a fast shopper, I don’t hang around. I rarely even notice the music. For a big shop I usually get a home delivery or a click and collect.
