On May 21, I sent a package to San Francisco, U.S., using the airmail international shipping service at Pos Indonesia. I was told that the estimated time of arrival of the package would be within three weeks.
On May 30 in the morning, I got an email from the buyer of my horn saying he got it. That is only 10 days!
By contrast, a friend sent a package to me to Jakarta, from Ontario, Canada, on April 4 and told me to expect it in about four to six weeks. On May 30 marked eight weeks since the package was shipped, and I have seen no signs of it. I called Pos Indonesia on May 30 and was told that the package has not entered Indonesia.
While this experience with the two postal services can speak for itself, I'd like to thank and congratulate Pos Indonesia for a job well-done.
