Fury grows over package delays
Frustration is reaching the boiling point among residents
of Norway who receive packages from the US. The private
firms that took over the job from the local postal service
and an earlier contractor are fielding a flood of complaints
from angry customers. The trouble actually began more than
a year ago, when the Norwegian postal service (Posten Norge)
lost its contract with the US Postal Service for parcel
post. The US Postal Service started using General Cargo,
which in turn used Nor-Cargo in Norway. Delays began. By
November, Nor-Cargo was out of the picture and the contract
was being handled by General Logistics Systems (GLS), which
joined forces with Nordisk Express and Ekspressgods. Source:
