No package, just a yellow piece of paper. Annoying if you were actually at home waiting for a package. According to the company, the first attempt to deliver packages is successful 94 percent of the time. But the readers of “Tiroler Krone” report differently.
The “Krone” article about the desperate hunt for a package provoked some reactions from readers. This shows: The elderly person is probably not the only one who finds only a yellow piece of paper instead of a parcel – even though, according to her own statements, she had been home all day. The fact that, as reported by the Post, delivery drivers have to ring the doorbell three times before they can move on without having accomplished anything is a source of great surprise. “The bell often doesn’t ring. Even though I have put a note on my mailbox saying: please let me ring the doorbell for a long time – because I can no longer hear very well – and that you should give me some time to open it – because I am a bit slower.” reports a reader.
“There never used to be any problems with the post office”
Another lady has a creative solution, as she describes it to the “Krone”: She also put a note on the door saying that the delivery person can call her and then just put the package in the elevator – at least that apparently works quite well Good . Resident Peter Kahr in O-Dorf in Innsbruck describes the following scenario: According to the shipment tracking, a heavy package – dog food – was to be delivered on Tuesday between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. “I was cleaning out the trash at 11:30 am and happened to see that there was a message in our mailbox at 11:15 am that the ‘recipient was not found’. That is absolutely not true. My wife and I were home all morning. And if we didn’t hear the bell, our five hundred would freak out when it rang!”
Finally, he states that there have never been any problems in the past, but that the delivery person who was responsible for the house in O-Dorf for years must be ill or retired.
800,000 packages per day
After numerous phone calls from our readers, the “Tiroler Krone” confronted the Post again with the question: are there any problems with the delivery? “No, I have to protect our employees again,” defends a spokesperson, “we deliver approximately 800,000 parcels per day throughout Austria, and the first delivery attempt is successful for 94 percent. When Austria’s largest daily newspaper writes about it, the subjective perception is of course sharpened – but it’s like the train – you remember that one time it wasn’t on time – not the many times when everything went well.
