Quality in delivering your mail
Delivering mail is “people work”
• Because of this human factor, some mail, a very
small percentage, is delivered late or not at all
• This might be the result of a truck breaking down,
for example, or a sorting machine not working,
or due to extreme weather conditions
Average percentage of
mail undelivered after
