If there is ever a case of a grossly incompetent service, creating lemons for the competition, who have turned the lemons into lemon aid - this is it: OK... without getting too specific....

OK - Australia Post - a nieche market, and geographically fixed location serice locations, with retarded copy cat "us too" banking hours of business. 9 am - 5 pm, Monday to Friday.
