Timely delivery of 'Post'

For exactly six years (1999-2005) I have been subscribing to The Jakarta Post. Then I paid Rp 45,000 a month. The time of delivery ranged from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. (Bali time), at the time of our coffee break.

But things have changed. Now, six years later the subscription rate is Rp 110,000/month. Sadly, the time of delivery changed also. For quite some time the Post has no longer been a "midmorninger" but has been demoted to a "midafternooner". Some days there is no delivery at all; and, the next day, two editions of the Post.

The delivery man told me it's because of a transportation problem: Jakarta-Denpasar, no flight, delay or late arrival, and so on.

Please take the necessary measure to make the newspaper a "midmorninger" once again.
