I just got a Philips Hue LED light strip plus from Simply LEDs
and they used Toll Priority to deliver it. While the delivery
worked fine, the track was completely fucking useless.
The Simply LEDs order status never did anything but popup
with a tracking number, nothing ever more than that.

The Toll site always had an error message.

Not clear if that was because they don’t actually operate
in my town and handed it to another courier in Sydney
to deliver it to my country town or what. I meant to ask
the delivery person about that but managed to forget
to when he couldn’t work out where my front door was
so I went out to talk to him so he didn’t piss off back
to the depot with it etc.

Yeah, I assumed that must have been what was the
problem with the lack of tracking info but they
could at least say who they used locally.

I did have to sign an A4 sheet with mine which he took with him.
Nothing special on the satchel cept overnight. Took a full week
from Sydney.
