So nice of DPD to keep me informed by means other than the tracking site that there's a 24hr delay to my parcel delivery. Oh wait, they didn't.

Hey businesses! If you're going to charge #postage / #delivery, then you absolutely should be giving your customers a choice.

Charging £5 for a crap service you have a contract with, but is totally incapable of finding my place and dumps parcels in nearby streets, doesn't cut it.

Either it's free and you accept that your delivery service is shite and will cost you money & customers. Or you charge and the customer chooses a service they are confident can deliver!

When you buy and create #postage labels to Czechia online with #DHL, the "world leader" 😅 of international transport, in their own web portal, you get a PDF label with malformed special characters (shown correctly on the web page but mangled on the label - after you paid) and a cut-off street address.

Billions and billions of turnaround, and they still can't even get the basics right.

But of course, one thing worked perfectly; withdrawing the full amount for the label, instantly.

"I sent letters to Santy Claus at the North Pole! He don't even exist!" Cecil winced. "I wanna send a postcard to Alpha Centauri Bb."
Cecil shook his head, "The #postage alone would be..." As much as he hated, he couldn't hesitate to find a more appropriate synpnym here. "...astronomical."
His son turned and walked to the counter, "North Pole ain't even 'Merica and I jus' used a For'ver Stamp."
"Fine." He handed the boy a fiver.
Soon they were in the car with a stamp and card. 2/x

"Price of 1st-class stamps has DOUBLED in last 4 years"

Do you have to hand a note of the change in the number of First Class letters in the last 4 years?
I feel there may be fewer, and if the number of letters is, say, halved, then the cost of the important service will not be reduced by nearly so much.
