With the massive increase in online sales, I'd imagine that both Auspost and Courier companies must work on the old percentage basis. Time is money and the least amount of time spent delivering the largest quantity of parcels will always win out. The ones that slip through the cracks are probably deemed acceptable.
I've also been at home when a delivery was expected only to later find a card in the letterbox. Also watched a courier come running up the drive one day and give the lightest rap on the screen door before turning without stopping and running back, parcel under his arm. I bolted to the door and shouted out to him to get him to come back. I guess they must be under enormous pressure to meet delivery quotas and cut corners where they can.
Insurance on parcels is a whole other issue. Anyone ever been successful claiming parcel damage from Australia post?

So after it left Japan, it arrived in a black hole.
