The Post Office Thursday May 10, 5:45pm
Hey, good work. I emailed Ralph Kerrigan from that Sentinel letter you all spotted, and he's just given us access to the Post Office's testing systems, so we can start to work out where these parcel delays are coming from. This is an internal testing system - the Post Office lets important clients use it to make sure that the delivery times are as expected. So, we're going to be sending real parcels, variously weighted (I like to imagine they use water-filled balloons) around the city.
If we send a lot of random packages around the city, we'll never get anywhere. It seems to me that we're going to have to work methodically and eliminate possibilities. We can vary the parcels by destination, size, weight, speed and additions. We're trying to find out if any of these variables lead to a parcel being delayed. So, you need to get organised and work together to cover all the available options. And we don't know how long we'll have access to this system, so work fast.
