I'm still waiting for a package that was shipped from China. Tracking indicates that it's "on the way to the next postal facility". It's only been 3 months.

I'll be in a coffin when it finally arrives.

This is how UPS works here. They just make a big pile and leave packages at people doors all willy-nilly like the Easter Bunny. I had a package left at my door the other day that was addressed to someone in another city, not even close to me in name or address.
UPS asked me to take it to their distribution center which is in the middle of a gang war zone in central Birmingham behind barbed wire topped chain link fence with armed guards.
I told them to suck it, not my problem. I left it at the mailbox at the road... in the rain. I did put it in a garbage bag to keep it dry, but I have no idea who picked it up.

And I was thinking it was only our postal branch whose efficiency leaves a lot to be desired,in my humble opinion The Deutsche Post(DHL)is the most accurate branch in Europe

There is always talk of privatizing our postal system, but there is so much more they do than just deliver stuff. They register addresses on houses being built, or when properties get sold in halves, they maintain the registry of where things are. The privatized delivery systems don't foster much faith in me for them handling all of these other tasks.

Since then when our postal branch was reformed and switched to so called profitable business method their mailing tarifs,especially those for international ones went sky rocketing

Sometimes it's stopped in customs. I had to wait several weeks from a package from Vietnam. Contacted the seller who understands Vietnamese and he told me that it seemed to be stopped in customs; then all of a sudden it arrived within the next few days. Weird postal systems.

If you purchased that 3 months ago, you should be safe from coronavirus.
