    I don't think they're public servants, coz they're not government employees anymore. When I used to work in a Post Shop we'd get pressies at the end of the year from some of the regulars - box of chocolates generally, occasionally a bottle of wine.

    If you're happy with them, why not!

    I have seen ads for franchise of Post Shop... and they usually have to tender for it...

    Yeah, it's the Aus post parcel man! Not my every day postman, DH wants to punch HIM because he's wrecked our front lawn with his stupid bike tyres.

    We actually had to put our mailbox on the ROAD edge due to this!
    Because our house is at the end of the street, not a cul de sac, and how our house is positioned, if we had it up on the fenceline he would tear up our lawn everyday.
    He FOLDS PARCELS to shove them in my letter box, leaves letters half hanging out in the rain, I get random mail deliveries on sundays and mail clearly delivered often days late...
    The parcel people rock though! She was working 7 days for 3 weeks before christmas.

    No way here.. ours throws our mail on the ground because she thinks the letter box is too far away for her to reach, when in fact its on the road side (they deliver by car here).. she also likes to push out letter box around so you cant read the number from the street.. so no bloody way here.. might tip her with some eggs
