Xpresspost is a big scam

So figure this one out....

A few weeks ago I sent a package to a friend using Xpresspost. It cost about $25 to ship it and although they promised 10 days, it got there in a little over 2 weeks. Hmmmm, not so speedy.

Then I sent another package this week to the same friend using regular mail (only $5 instead of $20 and there was no rush this time) and it got there in only 3 days!!! What's the deal with that?

The moral of the story is... don't bother using Xpresspost. The mail will get there when it gets there no matter how much you pay for shipping.

My package is always fast. The ladies don't like that. But what I can I do??

When you filled out the packing slip you must have confused parcel and package. We use a system called Cybernetic Routing Algorithm for Personal Property Yenning.
The CRAPPY system gets confused when parcels masquerade as packages or packages disguise themselves as parcels. This resulted in the extra long delivery time.

The next time you ship with us, be sure to review Section 13, Paragraph 66.6 of the Postal Guidelines. This paragraph outlines the Basic Articles Requiring French Flair rules. BARFF will help you determine if you're sending a parcel or a package.

Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
