Deutsche Post sucks.

So back in March I sent my keys back to me from the Stuttgart airport to my apartment here. Well apparently the Airport Guard sent it to the post office, and then the post lost my keys and swiss army knife. I still havent resolved this with our Hausmeister. I have already had to spend 100€ on the key, but I will have to spend more, I'm sure of it.

And then recently I sent Jason (buddy from back home) a package of glasses and shot glasses and a few beers from Prague back to California to him. It cost me 62€ to send it. I went to Portugal, and when I got back, the package was back here. Apparently they dropped my package a few times, one of the beer bottles that was well wrapped broke. The broken beer bottle made the package wet and two liter mugs fell out of the bottom. Then on the returned package they said I did not sufficently wrap the contents inside to protect them.

Thats bullshit. Since when do half liter bottles break from putting them in the post. Its still a holiday today so tomorrow I have to go to the post office and make sure that I at least get 62€ back from them, and hopefully compensation for the two broken mugs. But this is Germany.. who knows what they'll pull.
