Is the way of dealing with the myriad problems of home delivery really quite simple?

If retailers allowed shoppers to choose their delivery firm, economic logic would suggest (if delivery charges were flat) then the business should flow to the firm most acceptable to customers receiving parcels...

Might this be the answer to the frustration of missed, missing & damaged deliveries?

I often #complain the #delays & weird routes #AusPost use on my #deliveries, causing items I’m waiting on to be up to several weeks late.

Therefore, I must acknowledge that AusPost seem to have stepped up their service several notches this #Christmas period!

I am getting VERY fast delivery on my mail this month.

Now, if they could do this year round, I’d be very satisfied.

Home all day waiting
Driver summons me by phone,
Gate untouched, goodbye.

Twenty seconds late,
Parcel now on a world tour—
I live here, I swear.

Phone stares back at me,
“Unknown caller” won the race.
Amazon: 1, me: 0.

Straight up lying couriers are causing me delivery *shenanigans* and I just thought this is going to be ~so much worse~ if humanity survives long enoug to settle on other planets

Courier: We're currently orbiting Pluto and need the landing and docking codes to deliver your package ..

Me: That's great! Except we live on Mars !
