Yeah, it's just always struck me as a bit funny that Tullamarine to Essendon fields is like 5km, but they send it on a 122km detour to Dandenong South and back to Essendon fields.
Also on Monday (before it processed at tulla) I lodged the in transit redirection thingy to a random post office somewhere near Cranbourne (I don't know the area very well), and eventually when it scans it gets held for a person to come and manually put a new address label on it. I've only seen this happen at tulla, never anywhere else, which is why I think once it gets to Essendon fields it'll be sent back to tulla again. Also, I imagine Dandenong South would be the local sorting centre for the post office I chose, so after it's redirected it'll probably be bounced back over there. Terribly inefficient
