Xenon Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I put an order in on Monday for a few bits, but noticed in the Auspost track that the items were picked up from somewhere in Queensland and they have been there since then...surely all the stuff gets shipped straight from Regency Park ... I mean it has for all my other orders (I'm in SA) I left it a little late for the phone support (4-30 pm) so will ring tomorrow perhaps but this just seemed a bit odd...

ben 10 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Where are you? I would assume Coopers have warehouses in all states. When tracking postage it only registers when scanned - ie into a new location. If your order is on the road then there is a fair chance it has not been received into a new location - as it is in transit - and there fore not showing as in a new location.

topcat1525229332 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 My order is coming form Qld as well and I'm in Melbourne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Where are you? I'm in SA so surely they would ship locally ... ah well as long as it gets here before the weekend so I can get my next brew on it will all be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 Just talked to customer support and all online orders do come from Queensland. Guess I will just have to sit and wait, but does seem odd it doesn't get shipped locally from the factory here in SA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR30 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yes really caught me out. I bulk buy and due to the excellent next day delivery that I received being in Adelaide I wasn't bother that I'd run out of English Bitter. I brew up on Fridays so an order for 10 cans at 6am on Wednesday was going to be no problem- Ha. Other than "being "delivered" anytime up to next Thursday is now just crap. If I had known, could have gone to Dan Murphys and paid the extra $0.09 cents extra per can above the Coopers club price! Now my brew schedules up the wall but oh well. Sadly and more importantly, it would seem more SA jobs gone to the wall as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Yep, we've moved the operation in-house, which might sound a bit odd - it's our distribution operation based in QLD. We didn't set it up this way in the first place because we didn't have sufficient warehousing and refrigeration up that way. As for job losses - not sure but we were only a miniscule part of the contracting company's operations, so I'd imagine it had no effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR30 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 It's now Monday evening, Australia Post's tracking system is useless. Although registered for email updates as to delivery situation with them all they can report is " in transit". Transport does run on weekends so where is it? I suspect us South Australians now have to wait for transport from Brisbane to go to Sydney for drop off's, go to Melbourne and then Adelaide. Thanks Coopers for not advising at time of order that the change to Qld would amount to " in transit ". Sorry but I'm pissed off, my brew routine is all stuffed up!

Xenon Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 My order ended up arriving on Friday , after ordering on the Monday, so looks like a week is the delivery time to allow for now. Mind you I don't often order from coopers, generally go to the LHBS, but I needed a couple of new taps for my FV and with $15 postage I thought I should get an IPA can or two to make it worthwhile...

topcat1525229332 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Your not wrong about Australia post. My wife rang me to let me know that my order had arrived home on Friday and 4 hours later I got an email saying it was due for delivery that day. This morning I got the same email then one 3 min later saying order delivered. Tracking is absolutely useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR30 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Your right Xenon, my delivery arrived today so us here in Adelaide should allow min. of 6 days/week. big change from next day service but that's how it is now. cheers Ps brew down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR30 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Tracking is absolutely useless They have improved since Friday topcat, I did get an email about delivery an hour before, but that could be a "one off"?! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnaman Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Oh this system is great mate, well done Coopers. I put in an order to take advantage of the over $80 free shipping, that was Wednesday at 11:30 am and today Friday at 11:58 am my delivery arrived, 48 hours. Queensland (Brisbane) is were the distribution warehouse is and I live North side, way better than having to wait for the long trip from Adelaide. Winner winner, you know the rest.

Otto Von Blotto Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Don't be encouraging people to move here... we're already over populated and under infrastructured (yes I'm making up words) as it is.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Pirate Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Cmon Otto , plenty of room in qld ...just not enough water or highway infrastructure to support all the sea/tree changers who want to retire there , I had my 25 yr long "holiday " there but moved home to SA few years back On the upside for you there'll always be work for bus drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yeah plenty of room out in the outback, they can go out there... I guess I'm just sick of seeing the character of the place ruined to put up ugly apartment blocks to cater for all these yuppies who want to live close to the CBD, but the infrastructure hasn't really changed in 30 or 40 years. Yeah yeah progress and all that, they can stick that in the same place they can stick their misguided lock-out laws. /endrant As you were...

Hairy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Living in Brisbane vs longer postal delivery I will take the longer postal delivery Otto, your city will maintain the Status Quo. That is it remain stuck in the late 70's and early 80's, the period Status Quo was (sort of) popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think I'd prefer the late 70s and early 80s version of it to what we've got now. At least it had its own identity then instead of trying to be the trendy disaster it's becoming. Unfortunately it's a knock down and rebuild city. A lot of heritage has been destroyed thanks to a premier who measured success by "the number of cranes on the skyline". When I was in Sydney a couple of years back I noted that there has been a lot more of it kept down there compared to here. Much better balance of history and modern development I thought.

When I was in Sydney a couple of years back I noted that there has been a lot more of it kept down there compared to here. Much better balance of history and modern development I thought. The Rocks (the area where we caught up) has some nice old buildings and others are scattered throughout the city. They are grand old stone buildings with a lot of details eg. statues carved into alcoves etc. They get lost amongst the big glass buildings that dominate the city. The occasional one has a nice design but mostly they are boring glass towers with no character. There are areas where they maintain the external appearance but modernise the interior. There are old wool sheds in Ultimo that have been converted to offices but the outside still retains its original look. We can't destroy our history. Now don't get me started on Sydney traffic.

Dingo 1525229558 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Come live in the Outback, Otto. Two weeks is nothing to wait for a Coopers delivery and very few Yuppies. The beer tastes better out here anyways! Dingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yeah I really liked the Rocks area. I reckon if you took the area of Brisbane's CBD and put it over Sydney's, the proportion of heritage buildings to boring glass towers in that area would be larger in Sydney than up here. I noticed a lot of them when we walked the streets. A fair number of the ones that are left up here are inconspicuous, a fair number of the big noticeable ones have been knocked down. They've done that with the old wool stores in Newstead too, except they've mainly been converted to apartments. One of them houses one of those self storage mobs too. I think it's a great idea, sort of a reminder of the past but being used for a modern purpose rather than being demolished and replaced. I don't expect a city to stay frozen in time, but I think some places better balance heritage with modern development than others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Chop Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 My orders usually take a week to get down to Vic from Qld. I haven't ordered anything since OZ post has brought in there new and not so improved extra slow standard delivery service for an increased price that started this year, it may take longer now.

MarkR30 Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Credit where credit is due. Fastest delivery from QLD to Adelaide yet. Placed order Wednesday morning and advised Aust. Post notified at 1pm. Order delivered today (sat) at 10.30 am from Lonsdale depot SA. Well done Coopers and for once Australia Post. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerveja Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I dont mind the time it takes to get to me here in Vic just wish who ever is kicking the cans along the way would stop!!!!!! regards mick Same issue still happening except clearly not damaged in transit as the worst damaged cans were in the middle of the carton and the LDM and carb drops on the exterior were untouched. They are treating their most loyal customers as mugs. Have sent an email and looking forward to some sort of explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
