Being elderly, and frequently having time on my hands, I decided to check
my postal deliveries over a period of time, to see how my experiences compared to the people contributing to this and similar threads.
Over the last 5 or 6 months or so I have had several dozen letters and
parcels from interstate and/or overseas, and all arrive at a sorting depot
in Welshpool. The depot is about 2hrs 50mins driving time from my home.
Over the aforementioned period over 75% of items did not arrive by the
post office supplied estimated delivery date. The quickest item took about
60hrs, and one item took 12 days. This is pretty ordinary, but I'm guessing
that it is a deliberate ploy to get people to use express post, which surprise
surprise does a pretty good job.
