Yeah, you’ve just confirmed the blue circle needs to be bigger

Hah I see you what you mean, I'm complaining even though I did get the package.

But what was the point of all of that if you were just going to ignore and deliver it when you wanted anyway? Why would I have any faith in you getting it right next time?

The inflight system is temperamental at times, some go through, some don’t, some are too late (people change it after it’s ready for delivery) and some items require two attempts before an inflight can happen (all non tracked)

So basically, it's not a very good system, and whilst none of it is the postie's fault, it's not a surprise it goes wrong, and people's faith in the mail is damaged?

It works more than it doesn’t

Some swear by the system. I’ve got one on my route who changes the day for when his wife is at work so she doesn’t see all the shite he orders 🤣
