also is there any chance of them delivering the mail 7 days a week   and dropping the postage costs by at least 40%

When I was young, the mail was delivered in the suburbs TWICE a day, and on Saturday morning.

😮 how old are you?

Before we moved here we lived in country NSW where we got mail only 3 days a week. We were there 6 months before I found out...I mentioned to the neighbour that I only seem to get mail Mon Wed Fri....and she laughed hysterically.:|

The scrapping of the 250 gm rate was a huge rip off iMO? A fragile service would be a good idea

😮 how old are you?

Very!   :_|   But I still do 4.25 k on my treadmill every day, as well as other walking.

Did that happen to you as well? It's happened to me twice.. Same street number and unit number, wrong street.   Had a minor argument with the man at the PO over whether it was my package.. He started to question me over why the wrong street was on the card, as if I would know

Yes, last week. 21 M........ St got 21 P....... Drives mail. It could be the sorter that puts them in the wrong pile for the postie, but still the postie could have a quick look before sticking them in the mail box.

the poor OP has been so scared to come back

Reading this thread gave me a whiff of dejaVu back to the old days of CS. :-x

That's a funny and very appropriate pic, Lurker.
