Express post

Yesterday, around 4pm, I posted an item (not a regular letter) to Tamworth expecting it to reach the destination Wednesday or Thursday at the earliest.
To my surprise it arrived there at 9.30am this morning.
Yes, that's right, a package posted at 4pm arrives in country NSW some17 hours later and it wasn't even express posted in those funky yellow bags. You can't send a letter within Sydney that quickly.
While there's plenty wrong with a lot of things in Sydney, clearly the postal service is a finely tuned machine. (Probably not, but it's nice to think so sometimes).
