Australia Post is slammed for infuriating issue with their deliveries: ‘I'm about to crash out'
An Aussie has slammed Australia Post after their parcel was nearly delivered to their home before being inexplicably sent across the country. Jay Morgan explained they had ordered a package from Melbourne, when it arrived at a distribution centre in southeast Queensland. Jay claimed the package was just five minutes away from their home when it was suddenly sent all the way to South Australia. 'I am about to crash out over Australia Post,' Jay said in a TikTok video. 'I had a parcel that was supposed to arrive either yesterday or today. It got to the final stop on Wednesday - the last depot before it gets delivered. 'Why is it now in South Australia? I am in southeast Queensland. This parcel was sent from Melbourne. 'It got through southeast Queensland, like five kilometres down the road from where I live. In what world does this make any sense? Australia Post, what are we doing?' Jay claimed it made absolutely no sense, as they could've easily picked up the parcel when it was in southeast Queensland. 'I could have literally driven five minutes down the road and picked it up from the depot yesterday,' Jay said. 'This is really the best that our country has to offer?' Dozens of commenters were shocked by the strange delivery route and did their best to make light of the situation. 'This is the most efficient way. Obviously,' one joked. 'Australia Post are literally the worst when it comes to delivering packages,' another said. 'It's called Australia Post, it needs to see more of Australia first,' another wrote. 'The parcel decided it wanted an extended holiday,' another said. Others shared their own Australia Post horror stories. 'Australia Post once shipped my wheelchair to Canada. It was being sent from Sydney to Newcastle,' one wrote. 'This happened to me. It was coming from the Gold Coast to Logan and it went to Adelaide,' another said. 'I had this happen to me last year with a box of diabetes supplies,' another wrote. 'I had the same thing happen to me. Started in Queensland, bounced between NSW and Queensland for three weeks,' another said.

Banish rats 'far away' and for good with three garden plants they 'hate'
If you're looking for a natural method to keep rats away from your home and outdoor spaces, there are three plants you can grow that they apparently 'can't stand' Rats will gnaw through timber or tunnel beneath concrete to reach food and shelter inside your property if they manage to establish a nest in your garden. Whilst numerous specialists have offered advice for preventing rats from entering your garden and house using chemical methods, you can also plant particular species in your garden to repel them. Rats possess keen senses of smell and certain aromas are overwhelming for them, so when they detect these scents, they typically abandon the area where the odour originates. In other related news, gardeners can vanish patio weeds in 24 hours using a common kitchen item. Pest management specialists at Critter Control suggest that there are plants which can help "keep rats away for good", reports the Express. Garlic Your household garden or seasoning collection may contain a swift remedy to your escalating rat issue. If you enjoy cultivating your own produce in your garden, rats might be drawn to it, but incorporating some garlic into your growing selection could solve the problem. Whilst the sharp aroma of garlic may be rather appetising to people, the fragrance is "incredibly abrasive to rats", state the specialists. If you prefer not to cultivate your own garlic or lack the room, you can introduce garlic into your garden by simply positioning the bulbs around the flower borders, and that ought to be effective. Onions Like garlic, "rats despise the smell" of onions. Nevertheless, you can employ onions for rat deterrence without cultivating them in your garden. Simply position several slices of fresh onion outdoors around your property to help "drive rats far from your property". Lavender Lavender is a beautiful purple herb, but it's not just its stunning appearance that makes it a valuable addition to your garden. If growing vegetables isn't your cup of tea, consider planting some lavender around your property to deter rats. The fragrant and delightful flower will certainly leave your area smelling divine. Rats will "stay far away", as lavender is another "one of the many scents that the nuisance rodents can't stand". The lavender's potent aroma will prevent the rats from detecting any potential food sources in the garden, rendering it completely unappealing to them. By adding these three items to your garden, pests will stay far away from your fresh produce and hard-worked patios without the need for hard chemicals. The best thing about it is that it won't cost you anything extra - just a few minutes of your day!
