[edit] US-Centric
This article ignores the history of package delivery in other countries, notably the country of England, which had a commercial postal delivery service several hundred years before that of the US. I would therefore encourage anyone with knowledge of package delivery in other countries to contribute (cf. Wikipedia Countering Systemic Bias Project) --Gilgongo (talk) 22:44, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- True, though package delivery is not quite the same as parcel post, which I presume you are referring to, though that article need expansion. Cheers ww2censor (talk) 03:07, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
