I booked two registered book-post packets on April 19 under registered number RB040187459PK and RB040187462PK.

Till 5.30pm on April 27 the tracking record of both the packets giving final information was as follows: i would like to ask a few questions. First, If such a small consignment is not on board till eight days after booking, then its better to abandon this kind of service.

Second, can the Postmaster General explain his position for this unnecessary delay; and what kind of compensation can the general postmaster offer to the consignee?

Third, can people be encouraged to do business with the other world?
