    That’s PostNord for you. Reminder that the CEO earns ~700k a month for doing helpful things like… introducing every other day delivery of post. Hmmm.

        SEK. I make 38k a month! Thus, she makes about ~18 times more than me and then a nurse’s salary on top of that.

          Funnily enough, the CEO of PostNord Denmark also earns ~700k, but DKK, so that is around 1.5 time that, but for running the part of the company with more losses

      Never forget who ruined the beautifully working Swedish postal service. Maud Olofsson screwed us over by taking on one of the worst deals in history. The Danish must have laughed their asses off when they offloaded their failing postal service onto the Swedish people.

      I don’t think she should be earning so much, but varannandagsutdelning does actually make sense with how few letters get sent (even though I’d also prefer daily delivery). But crazy that stamp prices have also basically doubled.

      But just like with so many other public service things and agencies, Sweden is determined to make a paper profit. Vinstkrav. Would be cool if SJ for example was allowed to sell their train tickets for cheaper prices, but nope, they need to make at least 10% profit or something around that.

        I think the main issue I have is that this also applies to time critical post, and thus post can arrive too late.

        When it comes to essential infrastructure it makes no sense to me that they need to operate on a profit.

          I can’t think of many examples where a postal letter will be so time-critical that it will make a big difference if it’s delayed 1 day (or until Monday if delivery was on Thursday)?

          But I agree, it shouldn’t have to be like that. And how much paper-profit they make would probably be nothing compared to the benefits society gets (and thus benefits the country’s economy regardless).

    “Your delivery will arrive on a day between a point in time and a different point in time. You better be there when the driver pretends to check if someone’s at home and leaves without ringing anyway - not like you have anything better to do you lazy fuck.”

        I wish more businesses would use Canada Post to deliver in Canada. They’ve got these great community mailboxes with larger ones for secure package delivery. They just drop the key to the big one in your smaller mailbox that works similarly to locked apartment complex mailboxes. It’s way better than worrying if someone will grab the box in front of my door or if the delivery guy will even drop it at the right door.

          In Denmark Postnord (which is what OP is using) has drop boxes that you open with the app itself through Bluetooth. Almost everything about Postnord is terrible but getting your parcels delivered to your local Lidl and being able to open the parcel box with the app is pretty neat.

      100% of my amazon deliveries for the past two years have been at least a day later than promised.

      They used to have excellent shipping. Now they just lie about every delivery time.

        I noticed that too. Sometimes the orders are time sensitive (like when I have to fly out of country and need to take the item with me). So I prefer honesty, most of time I will still order anyways because it doesnt matter, when it matters, at least I dont have to return it.

        but thats not how amazon is operating.

        So I just buy from temu now

      I believe it’s because they hope a driver will pick it up for you. Those late night packages are delivered by contractors and they might just not pick yours on a whim probably depending on several factors.

    Reminds me of my Telus internet.

    “A technician will come to fix your internet problem Tuesday and they will be there sometime between 8am to 5pm. They will give you a 15 minute call before they arrive. If there is no one home when they come by, you will be given a $150 no show fee.”

    For a while Amazon would estimate a time range and the delivery guy would never show up during that window. But sometimes it would do something like this: original estimate was 11am - 4pm, 4pm would pass with no delivery, then at 6pm, it would update to like 2pm - 5pm. Then it would show up at like 8pm.

    They seem to have gotten better lately though.

    The Amazon equivalent of my country gives somewhat similar estimates, but they always end up showing up at 22:30 or straight up call me at such hours telling me they’ll come by tomorrow morning

    I work for the phone delivery company. I’ve had a lot of experience with semantics, so don’t try to lure me into some maze of circular logic.

    Next time change the delivery to a postnord delivery box. Most of then are pretty close to housing, and you can pick it up any time you want

      I usually use those, but it wasn’t an option because the package (containing 24 liters of cat litter. It was on special lol) was both too big and too heavy for those boxes…
