Does anyone still use the postal service?

I’m extremely disappointed with the postal service. The items sent from Yangzhou to Nanjing on August 2nd still haven’t arrived as of today, the 26th. I’ve called 11185 three or four times, but all I can do is wait – it’s so frustrating!
Postal Savings offers high interest rates, while China Post Fund sees rapid growth^_^
I'm talking about sending things; surely many people use money storage services
What you mentioned is a special case; generally, it’s not that slow. I’ve used it and it worked fine
Well, but courier services are still faster; it usually arrives the day after and is cheaper too.
Haha, there are so many delivery companies these days, with good service quality and fair, low prices; they don’t charge arbitrary service fees. Who would use the postal service then? Still, saving money is something to consider.
I used it once today to send 25 kilograms of samples from Inner Mongolia to Guangzhou. The postal staff said it would take 4 days via express delivery; the cost starts at 20 yuan for 500 grams, with an additional 10 yuan for every extra 500 grams. Including the packaging box, the total cost was 553 yuan! Oh my God! It’s worse than robbery. If our car hadn’t broken down, we would have definitely used logistics. In the end, the ticket was printed using a printer; the typing speed of those staff members was incredibly slow. What was most infuriating was that when I got the ticket, it said “Inner Mongolia Gu***** Company” – I almost fainted from anger. When I asked her about it, she used a pen to change it to “Gu” and then stamped it. That’s really powerful :sleepy:.
It has become my habit to clearly inform customers not to use EMS when they send items to our company. Because large items are never delivered to your door; you have to pick them up yourself, and the process is extremely slow. Actually, the company doesn’t mind incurring this cost. However, the greatest asset of the postal service is its presence in every corner of urban and rural areas, especially in remote mountain villages. As the construction of new rural areas progresses steadily, perhaps these businesses will also be gradually eroded. Still no sense of service; it’s just like the Ministry of Railways, with no separation between government and business.
