Moving the goal post achieves the goals - According to Australia Post.

The Geelong Advertiser ran a similar mail delivery time test, to a number of other news services, only they got to the point a bit better in their description of the results:

Now if a service is hardly used, you get low priority and low cost services... and if you want better you pay more - geddit...

So in one sense the move to the dead snail mail version of snail mail - kind of makes sense... except jumping up the prices and lowering the speed are contrary to the issues of expediency and generating more business etc., except that for general mail, most people really don't give too much of a fuck if the mail takes 2 days or 4 days to get there.


So in one sense the Geelong advertiser story is "RIGHT" but in others, it's totally wrong / bullshit beat up / play the facts and figures story.


"A Geelong Advertiser test has shown the city’s mail service has deteriorated since stamps were jacked up to $1 each at the start of the year.

Of 48 letters sent from Geelong post boxes to six different letter boxes in the region, 47 arrived within the new prescribed deadline of three days.

The original survey (when stamps were 70c - ages ago) showed Australia Post hit that target 73 per cent of the time, while this month’s test showed only three of every 10 letters arrives at their destinations the next day."


I mean if this is the contract - the terms and conditions for that price, and the service substantially meets those targets, then it's not a deterioration of service - it's just means it's a slower service that you agreed to get, by paying for that service with those conditions.

And pre Jan 2016 - 73 % of the mail deliveries around Geelong arrived the next day and post Jan 2016 - with the 2 speed mail service, 47 out of 48 arrived within the NEW time frame for "on time deliveries" of within 3 days....

So in essence, THINGS have improved, but it's also a slower service, with much longer delivery schedules.

By shifting the Australia Post goal posts, to LONGER times for delivery, loads of people are not running around frantically trying to deliver fuck all, to most people who just don't care, and don't and won't use the service anyway.

So that is not a deterioration in the service, it's a different service.

But in comparison to the OLDER schedules, on the same routes i.e. point to point on the basis of next day delivery, 73% of the mail used to get there the next day, and now it's only 30% off the mail gets there the next day.

On one hand I kind of agree to paying more for a better letter delivery service, as Australia Post is a BIG organisation, lots of people, lots of infrastructure, huge distances and not a lot of population relative to all the post offices - across all of Australia etc., and the Community Service Obligations - kind of used to have much merit; but time and technology have moved on, pretty much everything is electronic, but there is also a counter point that one person said,  "When the the going gets tought, the better business raise their standards of service and eliminate the waste - not double the costs and double the delivery times." - but there is also the issue, that to be able to get a letter delivered anywhere in Australia for $1 - is a pretty fucking good deal when you think about it.....

Except when you have 10,000 letters to send, and have an email service, and a relational data base, and are doing monthly mail outs.


This is guess is another example of stupid shit head journalism, it's basically outright lying and manipulative game playing crap - that ranks up there with "You - a non jew, can only be saved by the god of the jews, if you suck my cock / cunt, because I say so" religious mind fuck bullshit.

And the sad fact is that Australia Post is as news worthy and appealing to the average consumer as eating fresh dog shit sammiches..

So the retards at the Geelong Advertiser and their bullshit ball busting expose on Australia Post - and having to lie to do it, is as relevant as........

The moons of Mars to the 16th century druids? - if they could see them that is.


I am just glad that I don't have to use Australia Post.... and it's nice to see that more couriers are putting on more staff and running more trucks, while the local postie knocks off more stuff, and his idiot managers in Australia Post lie, bullshit and cover up for him.....

And NONE of this gets dealt with through the entire administration of Australia Post......

And all the fucking retards and their shop locally campaign - half of whom are the biggest dead shits I have ever met, well all the losers are closing ranks with their "Aww mate, Awww mate" bullshit - to try and keep the postie in business - because lip service is cheap and it makes them feel important....

Why?

And the ones who bleat "Here comes the anti-christ" the loudest, are the dumbest and the sleaziest and the most dishonest, who go out of business fastest.
