Then told they will find out if I can order it, they will contact me in two days, then told I should be able to collect it next week. Should! Are you f&*king kidding me?! Crap service at it best. Onya Bunnings!
It's funny you should say that. I had to go to Bunnings on Monday arvo. I have a powerpass and obviously wear work clothes on work days. Thought id try my luck and just walk in. No one asked me if I was trade customer etc even the chick that served me at the counter didn't ask for my powerpass before serving me, I think I would have been served regardless.Quote:

I wholeheartedly admit I had NO clue Bunnings was affected. Living under a rock maybe I am ,but I've been filtering a lot of Covid news for my own mental sake.
I was in my work uniform . But I had no ABN, power pass or whatever ... So, I was unknowingly breaking the rules. If I'd have been apprehended , I would have been in all sorts ...
But ...
I was not asked , questioned , looked at ONCE. It's as if it was business as usual. Even the items I bought were not really trade related but i got through without a hiccup.
It was only a day or 2 later that it dawned on me, what had and could have been after I spoke to a mate sparky .
Lesson learnt.

But what are the repurcussions? Isn't it Bunnings responsibility? Just like say garden suppliers are forced to deal with trade customers in house, I'm assuming there is some sort of proof required to do so?Quote:

And me genuinely not knowing , would not fly with the cops.
Also, the fact , that I entered the store unchecked, therefore I assumed all was well.... I doubt cops would have bought that either.
Supposedly cops are pulling tradie utes/vans over , after leaving Bunnings , checking that they're not buying non trade / domestic items ...

Our little garden supplies has experienced grandpa & grandmas turning up with 6x4 trailers for desperately needed lockdown redgum heat. Office lady kindly advises over the fence they need to park opposite then phone guides them through credit card payment before a loader is UHF called to load their trailer in our turning circle at the gates. Crushed rock and rubble has been another sort after product for people’s driveways recently washed away and self fixing needs after contactless dumping delivery ASAP!

Hmmm. I'm picking some stuff up at Bunnings tomorrow, see how I go. But we are only in stage 3 down here.
We have a big sign out the front of our shop saying "Due to COVID Restrictions. No walk in orders, all orders MUST be phoned in and paid prior to collection". Then they get upset with me when I politely tell them they cannot do this. So then they stand there in front of me and ring us up with a smug look and order their goods. I soon wipe that smug off their face when I tell them it will be around 2 hours to get their order ready. Knowing that I could probably do it straight away in a couple of minutes...:harhar:
Haha. Brilliant.Quote:

Plus get all the windows and doors made. Bloody hell, my head hurts just thinking about it.

Busy times ahead mate.
Yeah bloody frustrating to say the least. We’ve been at this since January 2019, ages... Only to have another set back.Quote:

Clearly acting like nothing's wrong . Not even a big storm can deter some it seems. Business as usual for some.
It's obvious were never going to shake this virus off our backs. But humanity like this , won't make it any easier .

What has made me angry, is that I filled the tank from close to empty after my recent Dirk Hartog Island trip. I fuelled up at the Overlander roadhouse using one of the pumps (Pump 1) where you need to put in your credit card and pre-authorise an amount. All up I filled it with 158.86 litres, with all of this apart from about 1 litre going into the main tank, I hadn't used the subtank at all, but squeezed about 1 litre in there to use up my pre-authorised amount of $200.
Interesting I thought, how could I get around 157 litres into a supposed 145 litre main tank? I thought my tank was bigger than I realised, so reserved judgement until today. I ran the tank right down until the fuel light came on while driving home yesterday. This morning i removed the drain bung and emptied it, measuring the fuel, I put 4 litres back into it and went to my usual servo 2 km's down the road. The most I could squeeze in was 142.59 litres, this means that the tank takes about 146 litres maximum! So it is pretty close to what it should be.
So it looks to me like I've paid the Overlander roadhouse in WA for about 12 or 13 litrs of fuel I couldn't possibly have fit in my tank! Seems like Pump Number 1 is over reading, I'd hate to think how many truckies have filled up 1500+ litres from here and paid for a shitload of fuel they haven't used! I think I'll be sending an email to weights and measures or whoever it is that looks after this type of thing. Bastards!
Not angry, just an observation.
I've been reasonably active with some online purchasing lately.
Ordered some extendable mirrors on eBay on 30/8 from a Melbourne location, latest tracking information from this morning:
2 Sep 2020 4:35pm Shipping information approved by Australia Post
Ordered some Front Control Arm bushes via eBay from Melbourne on 8/9 late evening, latest tracking information from this morning:
11 Sep 2020 3:23am Item processed at facility SUNSHINE WEST, VIC
Ordered some specialist shockers on eBay from Birmingham England on 8/9 also late evening, sent via Heathrow and arrived customs in Melbourne on 9/9:
Cleared customs and delivered this morning via DHL.
I had to pay postage for both local items but the overseas item was free delivery.
Jack, firstly there is no such thing as free postage, you pay for it in the item, its just not disclosed. Second, the entire postal and parcel delivery system is under a massive load, not enough flights from international locations, so delays, then locally in Aus we have Covod restrictions in play - Vic sends all parcels to NSW and SA for sorting then they are snt back to a skeleton crew for the final processing - I had a parcel purchased in Dandenong Vic, 20klm from hone, sent to NSW and then all the way to Adelaide before finally landing here - box was a bloody mess. Then I ordered gear from NSW and they used Toll and it was here at the front door 30 hrs later. I was talking to a postie yesterday and he has transferred from the letter deivison to parcels so he can work 70hrs a week, 7 day job, as much OT as he likes - Aust Post can't handle the postage as everything is being done on-line because retail has shutdown to a large degree. I have stuff that has been sitting 'awaiting delivery ' for 2 weeks. What I finally did on one delivery was raise a tracking enquiry and it was here 2 days later - delivered at 8pm by an Aust Post contractor - its just a mountain being harvested by a few ants at the moment it seems. Must be demoralising at the coal face i would think.
Yeap, I understand the ‘free’ postage issue. They were heaps cheaper sent from UK than I could source them locally.
But this was also the case when I ordered spares from UAE, they arrived way quicker than the local order and that was twelve months ago, pre Covid.
Auspost is certainly under the pump with online sales raising exponentially. They were even asking staff to volunteer to do deliveries.
I want to go and stay with my parents in Central Vic, so I looked up the Official government website regarding restrictions. My head now hurts and I'm more confused.
They ramble on about 'Household bubbles'. WTF? It mentions visiting but not staying with others. I used the search bar to and typed in : Can you stay at another house overnight in regional Vic, (or something to that effect) and it led me to a page regarding snoring. True dinks!!
You'll be OK Craig, as long your folks don't live in Metro Melbourne.Quote:

It seems that people are now dumping roosters as well as those unwanted dogs and cats.
Just back from trip around the Dawson River and surrounding country where we had three separate bush camp sites with resident roosters. There were five at one site. Noisy buggers very early in the morning.
All these sites were far from towns and no where near a house.
I wish I could find the bugger who told me my GQ would never break a CV because of the automatic transmission !
Termites!!!
Not Mad.... Sad maybe...
Filled in an application for a Disabled Parking Permit for ME! Today... Damn it! Cut My Leg Off PLEASE. I'm done. I desperately need a New Hip and have been on a Walking stick since Christmas. Bloody Covid19 has smashed Elective surgery and that means i have to wait. Never did i ever think Cutting my leg off would sound attractive. I'm Done. Too Young for this shit gents.
Shit that's no good but get your Doc to fork out the good painkillers I hear they are slowly getting to the more urgent cases like yourself .
Endone Twice a Day which is bloody average to be honest. I have gone tio Tramadol as the Endone was just frying my brainQuote:
