    heard border control found some over the past few months , hollowed out and some Colombian marching powder packed inside in pellets. apparently it was cut open where the taped area is. good chance it would get stopped

    I heard that story a few years ago. Various versions, with different drugs. So it's either happened a few times, or it's the usually pub talk.

    Either way, it has no impact on sending out hurls without anything hidden inside.

    @op, how did you manage with your hurl. Is it gone yet? I'd say AnPost might be your best bet.

    I sent a parcel to Australia by registered post. I was able to track this with my tracking number. The parcel got to Australia and there has been a few attempted deliveries with no answer at address. I got the address correct. What happened more than likely is the receiver was out. What happens now with the parcel? Here at home, the postman would drop in a slip of paper to notify you of a parcel or package and to collect at the post office. Does the same thing happen in Australia? I notified my family due to receive my parcel just to give them the heads up about the parcel but still no luck. Does the parcel get sent back to me?
