Postal Service Is Not At All Reliable

The postal service was the best mode of communication when other modes of communication were not developed. People used to exchange letters with their near and dear ones to get information about them. Not only letters but parcels were also sent to far off places through posts. But the development of modern means of communication like telephone, internet has severely affected the postal service. Not only are these means of communication faster but they are also cheaper compared to postal services.
Moreover from my own personal experience I can say that we cannot rely on postal services, and I now rely more on private firms for deliveries - one couriers in Manchester springs to mind as a company I rely on.
In regards to the postal service, once I had an interview and the company had sent the letter for the interview through speed post which is supposed to reach very fast. I did not get the letter and on the day of the interview my friend called me as she had also applied for the job and had received a letter. I immediately called the company to enquire and they give me the details and said that they had sent through speed post. I contacted the nearest post office but they did not pay heed to my complaint. I was forced to write a letter to the head of the postal department saying that I'm going to miss my first interview because of the carelessness of their staff. It was only after a week that I got the letter but it was of no use since the interview was already over. My experience of postal service is so bad that I hardly use the service anymore.
