I don't want to make folks jealous, but here in Brooklyn the delivery services
for both mail and packages are pretty good. I guess the workforce is so large
and the distances between deliveries are pretty small that it all works out.
And, I recently had items shipped from Germany and China that were delivered in
a reasonable time. Even Morphy's got my engines to me before Christmas (after a
couple of calls).
That said, they are delivering packages into the night, something that wasn't
done in the past.
My newspaper hasn't been delivered in ten days. I call a complaint line, but
they are not employees of the NY Post and neither are the delivery company or the
delivery sub-contractors. So, nobody cares. I'll probably be ending my subscription
soon and stop reading the paper. It is $2 at the newsstand which is 4 times the
subscription price. I'd rather spend the $$$ on steam engines, of course.
Good Luck,
Wayne
