> Stunning to see a national institution evaporates like that. The joys of privatisation.. From a consumer point of view, where the process is: Pay stamp -> letter in postbox -> black box -> letter delivered it's difficult to argue that anything improved at all. In fact it got worse in all the steps, and on all the metrics. 1. Stamps got awfully more expensive 2. Local post offices have closed en-masse, and_or are open infrequently 3. The delivery times have increased drastically 4. Post gets lost more often. If at least the service stayed reliable.. Instead, we've been facing a whole lot of fines and other issues because of undelivered letters and bills.
