Australia Post,taking snail mail to new heights

[enigmabear]

So, I am roughly 60km outside 'Sydney' proper. Not exactly a country town/out in the sticks/isolated/remote (or other AP excuses)

Last week I get a letter sent from Melbourne CBD

I am reading the offers in the little leaflet that came with, wondering why I am seeing things like 'Christmas offer' and 'offer ends December 31'

Until I look at the post mark

Nov 2016

four months from Melbourne to Sydney

Well done AP, well done

Does this mean you have not been informed about the new discounted "camel mail" AP service yet?  It's one dollar cheaper, and free if you never get it or the camels stampede! .........

omg, lol.

[enigmabear]

Well we know Alice the camel has one hump

But who the duck is Alice? 

[tasfleur]

What do you name a camel with no humps?

Humpfree!

(It's been a very long day) ....

The overland postal service took less than four months in the 1800s. My how Australia Post has moved forward.
