Hi there
I sent it out yesterday. You will receive it today
Thanks.
If it was sent yesterday, I would be able to track it online from sometime yesterday. Also, since it is Express Post Platinum, it means it would have arrived in my mail box today.
It wasn't there.
So, I called Australia post, and they confirmed that it hadn't been sent. If it had, it would be on their computer system somewhere, and I should have been able to track it. The call rep also told me about another person who has been in a similar situation, but had to wait 5 weeks for their passport/visa.
So, it got me thinking of possibilities... since that's what I do with stressful situations - overanalyse:
1. They guy from the embassy is bullshitting me - so that I don't worry about it. This is something that Koreans do well (with my experience). It falls under the "tell him what he needs to hear so he doesn't freak out, and we don't get into trouble" category. Firstly, telling me that it's been sent, when I can check that it has or hasn't, is just deep fried stupidity on a stick.
2. It's somewhere between the visa department after being processed, to the place where it needs to go to be in the embassy, to be taken to the post office to be sent. In other words, they've misplaced it. Which I think is also pretty silly.
3. It's somehow been lost at the post office where it was lodged. But then, it would have been scanned, and therefore would have been showed up when tracking. If it has been lost, then the call rep at Australia Post has said that the sender has to call Australia Post to start an "inquiry" to find it.
My bet is on either 1 or 2.
But, shouldn't have happened anyway.
I've cancelled a day of work, and $200, so that I can get this bullshit sorted.
