Once sent a package first class (which is supposed to be delivered within three days) and it never arrived. I asked the postal clerk about it and she said that it's not a guarantee that they''ll deliver so quickly. So why are they charging us extra for it? The story about Roseanne was nice. Nice to read that there are some stores out there that still value their customers.<br /><br />JaneJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053308616126531.post-22801439771385001602017-02-08T05:22:31.042-08:002017-02-08T05:22:31.042-08:00and no doubt you have heard how much the top man e...and no doubt you have heard how much the top man earns !!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240985402610409417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053308616126531.post-10979003970023666762017-02-08T02:55:17.490-08:002017-02-08T02:55:17.490-08:00You have to wonder why if you pay extra the mail i...You have to wonder why if you pay extra the mail is delivered sooner when it is all processed the same way <br />I think it's a bit of a scam myself. So I won't ever pay it. <br />And yes. If I send anything worth a bit of money I will pay for it to b registered. That way the onus is on them to make sure it's delivered <br />Aussie post is getting worse all th time. Because they now sub contract many parts of the delivery system out to private companies who only are in it for the money and don't really care <br />It's very sad angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367100990792829157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053308616126531.post-25455977326168851522017-02-07T21:56:09.706-08:002017-02-07T21:56:09.706-08:00sounds like they need to sort out who they employ ...sounds like they need to sort out who they employ to deliver mail. Here things are pretty good at arriving but it is expensicve to post a letter, I waas surprised I posted a birthday card to Australia yesterday £1.34 they usually charge over £2 so will wait to see if it arrives. I loved spotlight when I was in Aus on 2001 nothing like that here.margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053308616126531.post-37654356281837285542017-02-07T17:31:05.140-08:002017-02-07T17:31:05.140-08:00I had the same thing happen when I was collecting ...I had the same thing happen when I was collecting for Maya's Rest on behalf of Knit4Charities. A crocheted blanket was supposed to have been delivered but it was never received. My daughter was home all day the day they reckon it was delivered. I might add that my usual parcel delivery man (who is wonderful) was on his annual leave at the time. AP 'investigated' the matter and in the end I got sick of contacting them to find out the status of their investigations. Apparently they claimed it was delivered and just wiped their hands of the matter.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10237217955755971642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053308616126531.post-54808243256738322172017-02-07T13:15:22.811-08:002017-02-07T13:15:22.811-08:00I think it's a bit cheaper to mail letters in ...I think it's a bit cheaper to mail letters in the US but packages are so expensive it's hardly worth sending things. Often when I mail my grandsons small treats the postage is more than the contents are worth and it's really silly to mail it. But they love getting mail, so what's a nana to do!<br />Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035113274497372396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053308616126531.post-63685597150643109932017-02-07T10:55:02.456-08:002017-02-07T10:55:02.456-08:00I think everyone in Australia waits with baited br...I think everyone in Australia waits with baited breath!

As letter-writing is a hobby of mine, the price increases really sting and the reduction on service even worse. I often wonder about whether or not letters have gone astray. I did have one take 10months to arrive at its destination in the US a few years ago... very odd but at least it got there in the end (Of course I looked like a terrible correspondent).Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185599118466320327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1539053308616126531.post-16499944382433527112017-02-07T05:36:29.128-08:002017-02-07T05:36:29.128-08:00Its a bit of an economic circle isnt it?

It is a shame that things have changed so much over the years. When I send a parcel I am usually given a tracking number which I find really helpful to see where the parcel actually is.

I had given up on it and had contacted the seller, who was about to send me a replacement! They had originally quoted 5 - 12 days for delivery. No-one expected 33 days.
