I dropped off a letter with “Einschreiben” on Friday 24.01.

It still has not been delivered. On the webpage it says that delivery regularly happens within a day. To me regularly means, it could take an extra day. Maaaaaaybe two. But it’s been 7 days..

For an important document to be delivered this seems outrageous. This could have cost me about 70k if I didn’t keep an eye out and hand deliver it myself today.

  2. There’s currently a strike going on, but I don’t know if that’s the entire reason, and I understand the frustration.

  3. There’s a postal worker / DHL strike going on currently. Maybe that has something to do with it?

  4. At the moment there are walkouts all over Germany (Post and DHL). So many letters and packages are not delivered. I got a package today which should have been delievered Saturday.

  7. It’s pretty normal these days. I have parcels that can’t be delivered for multiple days because of whatever reason they come up with.

  8. Nothing uncommon. It was normal for me that letters took 14 to 17 days for around 21km of distance by car.

    Also, when you live in the countryside, the postal service might just show up once per week and delivers all letters from the last week at once.

  9. Had a letter that was bot delivered the other day cause “I wasn’t home” had to drive to a whole different town cause for whatever reason they dropped it off there.

    Mimd u, the day that letter came I was at home, nobody rang the doorbell. And even if, it was a letter, there’s a mailbox right at the door 💀

  11. It’s a new feature they are testing – Goal is to ensure users move to pack stations (as there was low engagement on this and its an expensive feature)

  12. I literally have to collect a package that was on its way for 2 weeks with out having an update till Tuesday
