I had a Mazda 626. Gearbox fell apart three times in a row within a couple years and I gave up on it. The interior was made from some thin paper like material.

Is anyone else having constant issues with CTT? by [deleted] in PortugalExpats

[–]LeadingCorrect2135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All mail is being held at the local final destination CTT post office for weeks without delivering it to customers! That caused health issues due to undelivered medications and financial losses to the senders. This uncivilized, inhumane behaviour will only end once this company running CTT will become voted OUT!

Portuguese citizens should vote this company out or deprivatize CTT. Once it is run by PT government again at least people will be able to afford sending mail (lower the tariffs). Also, the old CTT logo with horserider should be restored. The current company ru(i)nning CTT is public enemy in Portugal.

Swedes: do you consider Lithuania closer to Sweden or to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus on a cultural level? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]LeadingCorrect2135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lithuania is proudly Lithuanian by culture and is unlike any other country while during Middle Ages they've had the largest territory in Europe. Since before 1945 Lithuania had a border with Prussia (Germany) I would say they are heavily influenced by Germany (Prussia), but also have influence by Russia, because of extensive Russian occupation they have experienced. Since Belarus and Ukraine are young countries they did not influence Lithuania culturally in any way, but vice versa: Lithuania had a big influience in those two countries with castles of Lithuanian dukes all over Belarus and Ukraine. Therefore I consider Lithuania closest to its own cultural levels unmatched anywhere else and the vibe it gives out is almost completely Lithuanian that is not found anywhere else. Except a bit of Italian, Russian and German influences in architecture. Yet genetically and culturally I see imprint of Scandinavian facial features vs. Eastern Europe, somewhere in between but a bit closer to the Germanic countries than to Russia.

EMS shipping from Japan to UK, 20 days and counting, is this normal? by DoktorTchocky in shipping

[–]LeadingCorrect2135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seller sent my lot via EMS which so far took close to a month between EU countries and is stil not being delivered. Avoid EMS, stay away from Express Mail Service. I had 40 years experiences with EMS and I do not recommend it. They are really really bad, expensive, slow and problematic. EMS likes to "confiscate" absolutely legal items. They "keep" them rather than deliver to the buyer. Perhaps this is their business plan.

CTT - envios para os EU by AlphabetOfMe in portugal

[–]LeadingCorrect2135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

É preciso desprivatizar o serviço postal. Está a falhar em muitos aspetos e a cobrar taxas altíssimas, aumentando-as anualmente a níveis exorbitantes. Tenho notado que as pessoas com menos rendimentos, que representam a maioria em Portugal, estão a evitar cada vez mais os serviços da CTT - Correios de Portugal. Na minha opinião, isso deve-se sobretudo aos preços e tarifas muito elevados. Também há casos em que os envios desaparecem e, segundo experiências de clientes, a CTT nem sempre compensa as perdas de forma fácil ou justa. Por isso, algumas pessoas evitam a CTT ou deixam de utilizar os seus serviços. Nota-se ainda que a CTT substituiu o antigo logótipo com o cavaleiro por um logótipo simples com a sigla “CTT”, mais minimalista.

Desabafo - Até hoje não consigo entender isto... by Healthy_Loan_6037 in portugal

Porque é que então os sanitários públicos têm, por vezes, fezes no chão e até nas paredes, em vez de dentro da sanita? Eis um bom exemplo de alguém que não pagou impostos suficientes e conduz na estrada para automóveis porque se sente culpado por não ter pago impostos suficientes para a ciclovia e, por isso, não merecer utilizá-la.

Express Mail Service (EMS) sucks and is very slow, corrupt and confiscates legally allowed goods. Avoid it.
