Positive Feedback is Important too

Too much negativity here lately! How about a positive one?

I have lived where we are currently living for about 4 years now .. coming to 5! We always had an excellent Australia Post parcel guy. He would always make the effort to get out of his delivery van, walk up the driveway. Climb over our overgrown bush land garden and risk OH&S issues (aka tripping over) with our abandoned cuttings/weeds and knock on the door. Greet us good morning if I was blurry eyed and half asleep enthusiastically as our delivery run used to be at 7 - 7.30 am at the start when we first moved in. I was ashamed to say that until now (4 or 5 years) I have not got his name. I hurriedly wanted to write a Christmas card when I saw him walking down the driveway around Christmas time but did not do it in time. Again... I was ashamed!

You know I love online shopping so the number of parcels increased. Sometimes he jokes with Mick .. what has she gone and bought now? Maybe it's a present for you mate. LOL

After reading some shockers on forums about their parcel postie doing the card drop and run, I decided to give them the feedback. You can actually contact them via email if you have a complaint or compliment. I did just that, detailed how he was an excellent subcontractor and hoped that they never changed the parcel delivery run.

I had a response back that they have given the feedback to the Delivery Centre and manager. The next time that Mick was home and the postie (still don't know his name!) came around, he walked to the back as he heard Mick working on the deck. He said that he received the email compliment and feedback through his manager and looked really happy. I am actually really excited that he knew which address sent the compliment. Made my day as well!
