  From my experience throughout the world people complain about their =
local postal systems, after all what could be simpler that placing a =
sheet of paper in an envelope and asking someone to take it from A to B?



  However I wonder if the world=E2=80=99s postal systems could have =
foreseen the massive increase in online shopping due to Covid.



  Here in Australia, the use of online shopping has skyrocketed beyond =
all expectations.=20



  I am located in the mountains NW of Sydney and the city/environs =
(including us) has been in lockdown since mid-June and it will last to =
the end of September at least.



  Our household is just one small example and we have bought garden =
rakes to coffee to medications all online. At the moment we are waiting =
for fabric from the US, China and the UK; plants/seeds from within =
Australia; Austin-Healey parts from within Australia; Healey parts from =
the UK; plastic models from China; bedding from within Australia; garden =
implements from the UK; books from the UK; and, screws/nuts/bolts from =
within Australia.



  Australia Post is lifting its game and parcels are arriving quicker =
than normal mail (letters). Parcels are also delivered six days a week, =
while post is Monday to Friday.



  One of the places we buy fabric is from an outlet in South Carolina =
and it=E2=80=99s always interesting to watch how the parcel is tracked =
through the USPS system as it too is getting faster. Although there are =
some places in the US where the parcel seems to sit for an inordinate =
amount of time. Then instead of a parcel coming direct from the US to =
Australia, it may go via Tokyo, Hong Kong or Singapore. As there are no =
aircraft carrying tourists coming to Australia, air traffic has dropped =
considerably and air cargo flights are increasingly being relied upon.



  Yes give the postal systems some slack as it is a difficult time.
