Thanks, Sophia and Lisa.

I'll look into those options if I need urgent scripts.

Oh, my new chair still hasn't arrived. I was almost prepared to bet this morning that it would have come during the 4 hours we spent at Belmont Forum and I'd find a card in the letterbox asking me to pick it up at the local Post Office but nope.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow. lol.

* Note to Carl (who started this topic) .... please don't think for a moment that this topic has been derailed because it hasn't. Your plight has highlighted a problem all of Australia is facing right now wrt supply.

No worries, Lisa. Cool

The other thing with scripts now is that GP's cannot fax scripts directly to chemists anymore. I think that was something started by the government during Covid lockdowns?

Came in handy because if my aunt needed new scripts I just had to ring her GP and the scripts would be faxed to the chemist (I gave the GP the chemist's fax number, of course).

Now we have to get the scripts directly from the GP - I don't believe they're even allowed to post them out. Not too sure because we've never asked the GP if she could do it.

Doesn't normally cause a problem though because we've always made sure we've have enough tablets and script repeats until my aunt's next visit to her GP.

We can still call GPs in NSW and ask for a new script they fax it to Chemist of your choice.

Perhaps you should ask McClown why he doesn't allow it in WA.

If the company you buy something from uses this company make sure to use PayPal or something so you can get a refund when it doesn't arrive. https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/aramex-courier FedEx is one of the best for international delivery.

If you're eligible, you can utilise the government's Electronic Prescriptions service
through the The Australian Digital Health Agency portal.

https://www.digitalhealth.gov.au/initiatives-and-programs/electronic-prescriptio...

You phone the clinic and make an appointment with your doctor. He/she
calls you back at a specified date and time, and issues an electronic script.
It can either be sent to your smart phone with a QR code, or emailed directly
to your chemist.

Still waiting for my delivery from Amazon via Australia Post.

If you'd had your way, all deliveries would have been delayed due to covid restrictions and lockdowns.

And I would be fine with that.

I don't know what's causing the delay with my chair other than the fact that it seems to be on an Australian "tour" at the moment, haven't seen Covid mentioned so far.

But, what annoys me is that we're now being told that Covid is supposed to be over but it's still being used as excuse for delays with deliveries, etc.

Of course the truth is that Covid isn't over and it is still a reason for delays except this time it's not "restrictions" and lockdowns causing them it's workers being sick with Covid all the time.

Oh, and I really only started this thread for a bit of fun.

I saw it the other day packed in the back of a truck in Brisbane.
It was surrounded by about 200 fans.
By the time you get it it will be a fair dinkum rocking chair... 🤘🤘🤘

*sigh*

Still no sign of my new chair.

The Australia Post Tracking ID hasn't been updated since December 2nd when the chair was in Victoria as it said in my first post in the thread.

Amazon Australia tells me it will be delivered today (8th December) but seeing as it's now 9:35pm in Perth I think that's highly unlikely.

Maybe tomorrow (assuming it isn't on it's way to Tasmania next)? Roll Eyes

Time for a singalong.

I was fishing in the bay once, and hooked a flattie. As I was
pulling it in, a gummy saw it as bait, and I nearly pulled him
in too LOL. Hook was too small of course.

Now Amazon are concerrned that my package may be "lost".

I suspect it's just an automated update when a package hasn't been delivered after a certain period of time. I've seen it before when something has been delayed.

I'm going up to our local Australia Post Office in a few hours and I'll ask them if they have any new updates as to exactly where my chair is.. lol..

It's something my mother would say. Miss Mum.

You've got a good sense of humour (which I like) and that's what we all need to have as we're living in shitful times right now.

God I hope that chair arrives. Undamaged.

If I had a Twitter account I'd probably let these guys know just for the great laugh.
