'Post' becomes 'past'

'Post' becomes 'past'

Of late, there is an inordinate delay in delivery of The
Jakarta Post. Delivery is often erratic. Previously, we used to
get the Post delivered at home at least before office hours. It's
no longer the case now. Another subscriber-friend of mine concurs
with this view. What is the point in reading a morning newspaper
at night? The Post then belongs to the "past".

While this is the fate of subscribers in the city, what of
readers in the outer regions who may be getting the Post the next
day?

I understand that the Post has a joint distribution network
with the Kompas daily. Whenever, for any reason, there is a delay
in the Kompas printing house, the Post, though ready for
distribution, is naturally held up. This must be the case for
Kompas also, should The Jakarta Post suffer a bottle-neck in
printing.

I shall be thankful if you would consider better arrangements
for the expeditious delivery of your newspaper.

Note: The problem lies in distribution, not in printing delay. We
have asked another agency to deliver your paper.
