Send a stack of prepared envelopes to the farmer from the Panevėžys district table. They contain tomato seeds. The farmer sends his selected seeds to customers in various corners of Lithuania. The woman is concerned that all products shipped will reach people on time.
“We have shoals, we have to plant them already, and people laugh, they say, the dew will reach me before I receive them,” farmer Vilma Burneikien told Lietuvos Rytas television.
The farmer says he has been sharing his selected seeds with customers for years. As if this year, there has never been a package in an envelope for a customer to travel a few miles a week or more. The woman says: people have not received the seeds sent in the first days of March. The farmer considers what would happen if important documents or, for example, potentially defective products were not received in time.
“The post office work is very late, people are angry, I keep getting messages, calls, where is my letter or did you send it. I don’t know if it could be that the letter reaches Lithuania longer than from abroad; sometimes I get a shipment from China faster than here, you have to wait for a person almost a month later, he is really angry, “said the woman.
Lietuvos Paštas claims that the transition to automated and centralized parcel distribution took place in March. The packet flows have increased significantly, so the problems have not been avoided.
“We had a very significant amount of items that were not assigned to the correct recipients, and if until now the same senders simply knew our residents and even when the address was incorrect, the letter quickly reached the recipient, now we have to look for these recipients longer. “- Asta Sungailienė, Lithuanian Post Director General, told Lietuvos Rytas Television.
Stasė from Panevėžys, who intends to send Easter postcards to his relatives, hopes that the greetings will arrive on time. “People are waiting, especially older people; after all, not everyone knows how to use the Internet. Shipments are delayed and, after all, who sends medicine, who sends gifts from abroad and does not receive them , the letters are also delayed ”, the woman consoled.
“Let’s say I would like to send my daughter a greeting and I would like her to receive it that day, and she would receive it 10 days or a month later; it would be really awkward,” thought Danutė, another Panevėžys resident. .
Lithuanian Post claims that the problems are temporary. But people’s complaints about delayed shipments don’t stop.
“I will not hide that I hear many complaints, I personally receive messages through various channels. There are targets for the postal administration to meet, and it really takes more time, especially as I see that the entire administration is doing everything possible to address these issues.
One thing should not be forgotten here: it turns out that our post office was the last post office in Europe, where letters and packages were distributed manually, ”Transport and Communications Minister Marius Skuodis told Lietuvos Rytas television.
According to data from the Lithuanian Post Service, during the first two months of this year, compared to the same period last year, the number of parcels in Lithuania increased by almost 70 percent. The number of shipments from abroad is almost 40 percent higher.
