new postman

wef 1/4/07, we may be having a new postman

wanna complain abt the current postman and hope the new one will do better...
i talking abt those who do the delivery not those in the office sell stamp.

1) salary - do u know that most of the postmen are temp / part timer staff? they are paid by kg of letter that they are delivered. Which means, if all letters are just a piece of paper of postcard, they dont earn much.

i asked one of the aunties, she said she like heavy ones like annual report of listed companies. hahaa... although its heavy when she cycled, but she earn more from there and its only 1 book compare to the number of letters of the same weight. she also commented that these families are rich families. (I object to this statement of hers)

2) Registered mail - the postman are so weird one lor. in a family, most of the time, the whole family wont be in. They could be studying or working. only maybe about 30% have maids and housewives at home.

As the mails are registered, they must be hand delivered to the flat. Cant they come during at night when everyone return home?
I understand that they also want time for their families but for such occupation, its more of a night job than a day job mah... anyway, they only started delivery in afternoon.

weird new postman
1) Currently got so many postboxes around. The rule is that u must have sufficient boxes for ppl to deliver their mails. This not only means boxes but also offices.

2) Stamps: are there going to have 2 type of stamps? Stamp A for Company A, Stamp B for Company B? Else how consumers decide which service to use?

Well... as usual... none of my problem... i not going to bid to open a postage company also :P
without earning money, u need at least $0.5billion to run the show...
Money to buy postboxes, rent and renovate post offices, employ workers and hope u earn money and not eaten up by the current one... eg mediaworks hahaa

we don't know the details yet...but I feel no need to have too many 'postmen' as we are a small nation.

there could be wastage of resources..and unnecessary work..like postmen from different companies coming to deliver letters to one block..

see how lah ...hope as you say the new one can do better
