Can they send Santa's elves there to clear the mess after the Christmas rush? Beats filling out UB40 forms... |

So as the strike goes on, and private industry is taking the government postal service to book, we have decided to approach a private postal firm, and we are just waiting for their pricing.
Have been told they can do it safely, but just need to know the cost and delivery times.
So good news all round, and I will post right here what the findings are.
Should be up and running again in a few days.
Thanks for your patience.

OK,
Had the private shipping guys quote to airmail the dash, but hey, these guys are nuts..........
They want to charge US$ 480 to ship an US$ 170 product.
I need to go into this business.
So looking for better quotes guys and still hoping National PO gets their act together.
Will keep you informed.

Herman thanks for the update. Most postal unions try seem to have the contracts come up when it is the busiest time of the year....so we might still have time for a new dash pad under the tree. _________________ I think he meant "rare", as in "not well-done" |

Ok guys,
I have been informed the strike is officially over , today.
I do ask you to wait a few more days for these guys to get ride (bad word) of the backlog.
Hoping to start shipping by 1 Dec, so you all will have your dash's for under the tree treatment.
