A couple of years ago when I lived in the burbs, my neighbour was a licensed gun dealer. A courier delivered a package destined for him to his neighbour on the other side. Drop and run deal, despite the signature on delivery requirement. The package was picked up and opened by a child at that address and his parents found him mucking around with a pistol. Thankfully, no ammo. The gun dealer went ballistic, (sorry for the pun), and the delivery driver got charged by the police.

Service level in general is plummeting and many "couriers" don't seem interested in transporting anything over 30kg..


Saw this on the TNT site. Should cover telescope systems
