I took today off work because I had ordered a new graphics card so I could enjoy Oblivion this weekend. Shipping info specified delivery between 08.00 and 12.30 so I sat by the window the entire morning. Then, the shipping info changed to “12.30-15.30” so I continued waiting. And I felt a bowel movement coming on.
Knowing my luck, I tried to postpone it as much as I could, but I eventually had to relent to the power of my colon.
And wouldn’t you know it - in that 4-5 minute window, they ‘attempted delivery’ and I now got a message saying I can pick it up after the weekend.
Which is when I start a new work regimen of 6/7. So no Oblivion for me in the foreseeable future.
Thanks Belgian post services! Always ready to disappoint. Never change!
Same for Germany - quite often at lest.
Australia Post blames the increase in online shopping and have done so for decades.
They keep making “normal” mail more expensive, keep reducing delivery routes and increase time for post to arrive.
Parcels regularly travel across the globe in hours, sit at Australia Post for a week, get shipped across the country in a process that takes days, then sits in a warehouse 17 km away for 10 business days before a delivery is even attempted.
As far as I can tell, they’re in a self induced death spiral and they managed to get the one person who was actually turning it around, fired.
