I want to stab the postal guy

[Slakewell]

I should be in the shed fitting my new parts as they have arrived from the states, Late yesterday I trudge to the post office knowing the line up will be long and it will take 30 min to get served etc. This one guy cant find parcels this is the third time he hasn't been able to find my parcel but I normally go back the next day get served from someone else and they find it quickly. I cringed when I knew he was going to serve me after waiting 20min to reach the counter I just knew he wouldn't find it. 
My new stainless steel footpegs that I wanted to fit before the Nats are waiting for me in the store room at the post office instead of gracing my KTM.  :'(

Not into violence but sometimes I think the Vietnam veterans had the right idea .Bash a postie was there motto and that stems from the posties  going on strike while the war was on in Vietnam and the troops didn't get any mail hence they were very upset when they got back so random postie bashing went on for many years I am lead to believe.

That's the joys of living in the bush Slakey . My parcel guy is so well trained that when I was incapactated in plaster and couldn't get to the door when he pressed the doorbell, he'd let himself in and place the parcel just inside the door (I'd previously given him permission). If I had to sign for it he'd shout out through the house to let me know and he'd deliver the parcel right to me on the couch . He's a lovely bloke from Sri Lanka who never stops smiling and going out of his way to help the customer, no matter how much work he's got on.......If all Aussie immigrants were as good as this bloke we'd indeed be a the Lucky Country .

With respect Hardex, here you are condoning bashing posties during the war yet you considered my Kevlar Girl avatar immoral. Hmmmmm

[Hardex]

Sorry Firko if I come across as endorsing violence but im not .I work with an ex Vietnam veteran and if you new half the rubbish he went threw you might end up a little sympathetic to these guys and its tragic that they are left to defend what little quality of life they have compared to say posties .
So please don't bash a postie .

My postie has the biggest collection of Kwaka tripples in the southern hemisphere and the other guy buys older mx bikes from os.
They're ok.

slackwell tell the PO manager he has a knob who cant find something in a small room.

   My post office parcel delivery bloke is great never uses the safe drop here ( the local arseholes flog them before you find them) insted he brings them around the back and leaves them in a hide I have just for that purpose or if i'm home he brings them up into the workshop for me.  Real good fella who appeciates getting a few beers at chrismas.
p.s.  When he's off on leave his replacement is a useless and lazy putz.

Our local post shop would have to be the worst on the planet   I think the problem lies in that instead of just dealing with the post ( as the name would suggest   ) they are a half arsed bank , half arsed vehicle licencing centre, half arsed convenience store , and manned or womaned by half arsed forkwits  

What really gets on my tits is that when i have queued for 25 mins and i finally get to the counter , the robotic dipshit will say with a forced smile " thankyou for waiting " like i have a choice  >:(my immediate response is " where the fork else was i going to post this parcel , at the forking butchers ?

Then im the bad guy   Now when i get to the counter i say "dont even think of saying it   just send this "
 
The couriers are even worse   obviously the NZ courier companies are a rehab facilty for amputees and parapaligics , as their drivers are only capable of driving to the mail box and leaving a card to say collect your parcel from our depot TOMORROW . the card omits to say Because im to lazy to drag my fat arse out of the van to bring it in  

I think i will get one of my Daughters to stab or bash the courier as she can claim trauma as a defence having been subjected to the awfull avatars i have on my computer

Postal service and post office are very friendly .... I'm in the same boat as Fat-toy     leaves items in a safe  stop around the back, you would be suprised what a 6 pack at xmas can do   ....

Sent my '74 CR125 forks to RAD for rechroming. Two of those stiff card tubes with a leg in each,lots of packing and tape.Registered post. I get a call from the helpful guys at RAD telling me that two empty tubes arrived, no packing or note inside . I go to my local PO and happen to catch the Postmaster on the desk. A man of much postal experience who knows how these things work. He says that when a parcel is dropped off the truck and opens/splits etc you usually bend over and pick the item up and put it back in the parcel and tape it up again. Not rocket science. So, to have two tubes bust open and have everything missing from inside is a little bit odd! I hope I see them again but me doubts it.

I get great service at my local PO. The ladies that work there yell at me as I walk through the door if there's no packages for me.
I assume to save me from queueing up.

The ladies that work there yell at me as I walk through the door .....
 

This is very easy to believe. /\

Local PO is awesome. Customer service that 99% of businesses could learn from - including the time when I'd been waiting in line of a few minutes and the very recently trained 3yo cries "wee wee!", and they let him use the staff toilet...

The PO near work is less good. One lovely islander woman surrounded by a bunch of stereotypical counter drones - it feels like russian roulette when you line up...

Elmore 3558 PO small friendly quick with helpful counter staff.
Casino Roulette with all numbers winners
 Bendigo PO 3550 large lazy massive (far) queues with useless counter drones....
 Russian Roulette with six loaded chambers

Better than that Bill is 1 of my former workmates being told by NZpost that as far as they were concerned the postie can ride down the centre of the road throwing the mail out the window & it's not their problem, they only collect the money & don't have to deliver anything  . This was after his parcel was put in the wrong PO box & when he got phoned by the person whose box it was in found it had been opened & a part missing
Recently had a new master cylinder kit sent from the UK for my trials bike which took a day to hit the country & 4 working days for a card to arrive in the box meaning I missed the ride I'd set that weekend  . Only good thing to come from that was a day racing the CZ at Levi Sherwoods place
