“The driver will not knock, so make sure you are looking out the window and prepared for the 4 second timeframe when the driver will stand near the truck looking at your property, wherein you may run out and scream ‘wait!’. If unsuccessful, a delivery will be reattempted on an unspecified date within the next 8 months.”
And then you have some ridiculous retailers that don’t allow you to hold a package for pickup anymore. What the hell happened to that? I feel like it used to be when I had a package that needed a signature I could just request for it to be held at the parcel service center for me to pick it up later.
But the last two times I had a package with a signature required, it wouldn’t allow me to do that. The package was going to be returned to the sender for ridiculous reasons. One was an age restricted item which I can kind of get, but the other wasn’t. Both times I had to beg and plead with the delivery company to hold the parcel even though it was not something they were supposed to do.
And people wonder why Amazon gets so much business. They don’t make me take days off from work so I can hopefully receive a fucking package of the delivery person actually feels like ringing my doorbell.
Never again with packages requiring a signature for me. I don’t work from home and my workplace is not in a location that can receive packages.
Don’t do by boy USPS dirty like that.
I wish more businesses would use Canada Post to deliver in Canada. They’ve got these great community mailboxes with larger ones for secure package delivery. They just drop the key to the big one in your smaller mailbox that works similarly to locked apartment complex mailboxes. It’s way better than worrying if someone will grab the box in front of my door or if the delivery guy will even drop it at the right door.
In Denmark Postnord (which is what OP is using) has drop boxes that you open with the app itself through Bluetooth. Almost everything about Postnord is terrible but getting your parcels delivered to your local Lidl and being able to open the parcel box with the app is pretty neat.
That’s PostNord for you. Reminder that the CEO earns ~700k a month for doing helpful things like… introducing every other day delivery of post. Hmmm.
Never forget who ruined the beautifully working Swedish postal service. Maud Olofsson screwed us over by taking on one of the worst deals in history. The Danish must have laughed their asses off when they offloaded their failing postal service onto the Swedish people.
I’m sure Denmark has hurt you greatly and will do so again, but the ownership is 60/40 between Sweden and Denmark. PostNord operates the same in Denmark as it does in Sweden.
It’s a shame that Sweden had to lower their standards to the Danish level. PostNord gotten a lot worse in Sweden since the deal with Denmark
Eh, goes both ways. Post Danmark was actually quite decent before the merger.
I think you might be misunderstanding me. I’m not trying to attack the danish people in any way.
What I’m trying to say is this.
- Sweden had a great postal service and Denmark not so much
- A incompetent Swedish politician got us into a crap deal
- Now both Sweden and Denmark has crappy postal service
- And just as you point out, Sweden is now stuck paying for 60% percent of this clusterfuck while Denmark only pays for 40%.
No wonder the Danish people often is considered some of the happiest in the world.
I’m also trying to remind people that things like this is what happens when you elect politicians that don’t have the peoples interests in mind. And looking at the current people in charge such a reminder is unfortunately highly relevant.
Post Danmark actually wasn’t that bad. It was a bit old school, but the prices were decent and the service was high quality. A year after the merger and absolutely everything was shit.
Now you are forgetting the part where the Danish postal service was bleeding money. This is partly due to their severance/retirement packages.
After the merger the economic troubles have continued. Where the danish part have been responsible for the losses and the Swedish part for the profits. So in effect the Swedish people are subsidizing the irresponsible economic decisions of the danish postal service.
But we are starting to lose focus on the person that the Swedes should hold responsible for this, Maud Olofsson.
