> DB is better than it's reputation.

Nope. The reputation is well deserved.

> What is really amazing is German postal service. Contrary to some reports it is reliable.

Not for parcels which are handled by DHL. They have no shame in claiming delivery attempts that never happened and then make you stand in line for up to hours to retrieve your stuff because they can't be arsed to hire enough staff.

> And they do understand how to work digital.

There has been some improvement in that area but basic things like step by step tracking for the postal service isn't available (because they want you to buy their more expensive DHL products). It's absurd that if you order something from abroad you get frequent update while the package transits in bumfuck nowheristan a but then as soon as it gets to germany it's all silence and all you can do is hope it arrives within the next months.

Not that I am anyhow a fan of DHL, but thats completely unrelated and private company to Deutsche post, its failing are its onw. Or does DHL in Germany take over (some) deliveries from DP?
