Locals who are looking to post Father's Day gifts and letters are being urged to do so before August 28 or risk their parcels not being delivered on time.
The delay is due to the huge increase of online shopping in Victoria since the stage four lockdown and Australia Post having to make adjustments to their processing and deliveries workforce to comply with COVID Safe restrictions.
"We want to reassure you that our people continue to work tirelessly under difficult and unprecedented circumstances with a firm commitment to serve you and your community," Australia Post said in an email to customers.
"As a result of the constraints on our network and the continuing rise in parcel volumes, our speed and ability to deliver has been impacted. And while we're doing everything we can to deliver your online purchases as safely and quickly as possible, we hope you understand that these additional restrictions have resulted in increased delays."
All letters and parcels intended to arrive before Father's Day should be posted by August 28 and for express post August 31.
