![]() ![]() Letter sent priority mail within Sydney on 17/7 arrived 23/7. ![]() So I did what anyone in the internet age does, and took to Twitter to whinge about it. Six full days to deliver a letter marked “Priority” seemed a little slack to me, especially as Australia Post charges extra for that service. Postal horror stories are nothing new, but what interested me was that this particular envelope was marked “Priority” mail. The letter arrived on Thursday the 23rd, nearly a week to the day after it was posted. I’ve never noticed them doing that, although it is apparently on the roadmap for this year. That should have given them a rough delivery timeframe of either Monday 20th or Tuesday 21st to arrive if Australia Post wasn’t doing a Saturday delivery in my area. To be specific, it was an envelope, mailed on Friday 17th of July. I also work in Sydney, and the total travel distance, as the crow flies, would have been no more than around 15km, although I’m willing to give a little leeway for the fact that postal vans do not, to the best of my knowledge, actually fly. My thinking on this was inspired by recent postal adventures, involving a letter sent out to me from Sydney last week. ![]()
