Time And Mail
Another month, and yet another pet hate.
Have you ever wondered what happens to lost mail here in the UK, I ask because this is the fourth time we have had a parcel go astray…
When you pay to use their mail service you expect to get satisfaction seeing your parcel/letter get to the person it was intended for.
I can understand that there would be possible times when for what ever reason, they misplace the odd parcel/letter. However, it comes as a bite to hard to swallow when the same family has complained four times that mail, the mail service had been trusted with had not reached its destination, or in the words of our Post Office staff “your mail as been lost”.
I ask you what kind of comment is that to give to a customer… It’s been lost. Is there some kind of rift in time, and space where on closer inspection we find our mail falling through a Black Hole never to be seen again. How about a ghostly mailweiler that follows postmen/women waiting for its chance to chew on our letters rather than biting the postman/women leg. No, I don’t believe that one either.
So what other excuse is there. I don’t think it takes a genius to work out what may be happening. I think somewhere in the system there are sticky fingers attached to some individual/individual’s, and these particular individual’s have been handling parcels, and letter for some time to the extent that they can tell from the way a parcel is wrapped what its contents have a strong possibility of being. I think that’s the time your/mine/our parcel is in danger of being lost.
Sadly if this is the reason for the lost mail the small minority of individuals who do this are throwing bad light on the vast majority of honest hard working people.
Now its time for some stat’s, I watched a recent news report on the missing mail, and the statement from our wonderful mail service said they do a wonderful job so much so that out of the 21 Billion of posted parcels/mail the 0.58% of mail that goes missing in a year is not a bad result.
It may be a result for them try telling that to the 0.58% of people that get themselves stressed because once again their parcel has gone missing, and claiming against the mail services for the loss of their mail. Time for another statistic a 0.58% loss of 21 Billion works out at 121,800 000. letters, and parcels that may or may not go missing every year. How safe is your mail…?
