482707 2006-09-05 06:33:00 Dear all, how long does it take to send a mail from Auckland to Dunedin (and vice versa) using either fastpost or ordinary post?

Cheers :)

P.S. Wrong thread title, but I can't edit it :(

482709 2006-09-05 07:36:00 It seems to depend on how long the PostSheep walks around in random circles before finding the right road.

Sometimes I mail stuff to Auckland and it takes a day or 2, other times it has taken up to 10 days. (same size, same postage, same Post Shop, same destination address)

Beats me why.

My Listener comes from Auckland and is supposed to arrive Monday - sometimes it does, more often its Tuesday, occasionally Wednesday or even Thursday.

Maybe your postie just finds the Listener is a good read on some weeks :lol:

Our Listener usually arrives in Invercargill on Monday, but has come on Saturday several times. We actually like it on Saturday - can do the X words in a more relaxed way, with a more functional brain.:rolleyes:

Thanks Jen. I just realised that the thread title has been worded badly :o

My postie - my neighbours mother and I know her having fixed her PC, the golf clubs which she also runs and set up her MF printer - gets it on these days. She delivers straight away usually at 6:30am.

R.M - lucky you - maybe it takes an extra day to get out here from Invercargill.

482714 2006-09-06 02:35:00 It's very simple, James. They have very advanced artificial intelligence machines, which can sense the urgency of the communication. Then they apply an inverse square function to determine the transport speed. If you really want it, like a new Microsoft product, it comes very slowly. If it's something useful, like the new Listener, it gets average priority. If something is unwanted by the recipient, like a bill, it gets high priority. If it's really badly not wanted it can be sent through the timewarp channel and arrive before it was sent. :cool: Graham L (2)

Cheers :)

P.S. You should include another variable as well where it represents the total worth of amount of stamps stuck onto the package.
