We live really in the sticks in Spain. We recently had an improvement in our post by having deliveries once a week (if the postman has enough mail) to our new post hut where everyone has a postbox and a key.
Our address is Loja (main nearest town) and Granada (nearest city and county).
Generally our post gets to us without too big a time delay. We have had examples of huge problems or no shows.
Recently three separate organisations ( a UK housing association, a UK bank and a local UK council) all decided to arbitrarily change our address to GrEnada. They took a month to get here having been to the spice isles first! Of course in the meantime we are wasting time and money on follow up phone calls and letters. Muppets.
The muppet of the year award goes however to an Australian credit card company that sent a letter confirming their recent account query had been settled in their favour to one of their customers addressed only as:
Surname
Loja.
No street, postcode or country. It had been to Ecuador first. We sent the Oz credit card company an Email explaining the situation and didn't even get a reply.
