I'm expecting 2 very important packages via US Post and I don't know how it works in other countries Rob and Super Swede but I'm wondering....how does mail get from point A to point B?
So you put a stamp on a letter and put it in your mailbox...then the postman comes and picks those up and then everyone elses and then takes them to the post office to get processed, sorted etc. Then I'm assuming that mail and packages are either trucked or flow across the nation and distributed to other post offices to be processed and sorted again to get ready to be delivered. To me this seems like a hell of a lot of things can go wrong! I'm sure they do too because I sometimes get other people's mail and they've gotten mine, or I don't get expected mail on time or even at all on occasions. Does anyone really know the entire process? Any postman musicians here? :D
