Swiss Post still have my parcel in their long wait department. I believe stuff travelled faster in the days of sailing ships.
About all that has happened is a weird hide the slipper game with their track and trace system. It appears and disappears from the three sites I have fried. Swiss Post in the Dark Tower in deepest Switzerland were first to advise receipt, but rapidly disavowed all knowledge. Swiss Post Singapore eventually advised that in the space of 1 minute it had arrived in Singapore, gone to the customs processing facility, and left for destination country. That was dated 6 days after first notification. New Zealand Post duplicated the Hong Kong information. Ten days later Singapore joined Switzerland in not acknowledging any such parcel was on this particular planet. NZPost kept their report steady. Another 5 days and Zurich restored their (second) progress report, and NZPost dropped their report. Singapore and NZPost found it again 2 days later. The parcel is still listed as leaving Singapore the very minute it arrived, why it periodically disappears is not stated.
The e-mail department is certainly fast, they ignored my e-mail instantly. A person less enthusiastic than I about Swiss efficiency might consider that for demonstrated inadequacy Swiss Post are unsurpassed. Being an ardent supporter I flatter them by thinking they are incompetent drongos, but I am far too polite to say so. From what others say about Swiss Post, it may need all this time to maintain their reputation for crushing and mangling packages.
They are still off my Christmas Card list.
