They claimed that third-world mail systems can't be tracked (obviously don't know where NZ is) so they are sending a new CD pronto. I won't hold my breath.

Anything we get from Thailand has to go in trackpack or we never see it, maybe the puppies like the taste of Thai paper.	drb1 (4492)

One recent delivery took three attempts to find my post office box, despite being clearly and correctly adressed to both my company name and the box number in large letters that a myopic rhinoceros could read at 50 paces. It was sent back to Hamilton twice, marked "not known at this P.O. (or something similarly unbelievable) and my colleague returned it marked "Try again". To be fair though, that is a rare occurrence and I don't often have mail problems. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Billy T (70)

269934	2004-09-07 23:11:00	Isnt New Zealands postal service widely regarded as one of the best in the world? I know the GM of the South Auckland Mail Centre and he recently got back from Iran where he was helping to setup their new postal system. Iran wouldnt want somebody from a crappy mail service helping to build their new system would they.	Pete O'Neil (250)
269935	2004-09-07 23:13:00	Maybe they didn't but he was all they could afford? lmao,don't tell him i said that.	metla (154)

269937	2004-09-07 23:30:00	Yup, queite a few countries have contracted NZ Post to set up or improve their mail systems. AFAIK they have set up a business unit to do this. Hang on, maybe the E-Bay septic has a point, perhaps I've been too harsh. NZ Post has been setting up mail systems for third world countries, we assume that is to make them 1st world systems but maybe they have been applying NZ standards and coming up with 3rd world systems :p Cheers Murray ;P	Murray P (44)
269938	2004-09-07 23:41:00	Have you checked with NZ Post Customs section. Being from Thailand it could have been held up for inspection.	John Budd (5943)
269939	2004-09-07 23:46:00	Actually, I think our mail systems are pretty highly rated. We certainly don't lose mail very often, though the odd postie probably still plays odds & evens, which delays residential delivery by one day. I am surprised that the seller thought we didn't have or couldn't cope with tracking systems though, NZ Post can track outbound international mail every step of the way.
