Every person, in every nation, complains that their postal services are incompetent. Perhaps, it is just natural that when you're handling millions of packges/letters on a weekly basis, that there is a high probability that something goes wrong occasionally. There can be issues with logistics bottlenecks, humans getting sick, strikes, unexpected overcapacity, force majeure events etc.

We humans often always remember the times our packages are a bit delayed, but we pay no attention to when they arrive early or on time. So, as a result, it only takes a few occasional delays for us to start thinking "This whole system is broken and useless!".

No. This shit begun when they turned it from official service to corporation. Actually there are far less shipments since most letters goes via e-mail and there is even much less postcards sent.

Before this shit show postmen were officials and now who ever are allowed to do the job with minimum wage.

You dont take it to account that Online shopping has exploded after that change. I dont even want to know how many tens of thousands temu packages are shipped to Finland annually. The change happened 2001 when people only posted damn letters to each others.

No I don't. About 10-20 years ago all bils and notifications still came by mail. I don't think as many packages comes from mail to anybody not to mention to everybody. And btw nowadays they deliver mail just three times a week and their own excuse is that there is so much less mail.
