I don't know what your source of information is, Albert. Maybe 
statistics from the mentioned companies themselves.
The German post was privatized in 1994. Although the old system was a 
reason for jokes as long as it existed, I would be happy to get it back.
You will hardly find well trained (well paid) employees outside of the 
few main post office stations, in all this small agencies which are now 
part of bakerys or flower shops.
Expanded opening hours? Forget it, a shop may be opened, while the post 
agency in it stays closed because their contract does not require (and 
the payment does not allow) a better customer service.
A second counter opened because of demand? Better avoid these places 
before easter or xmas. IRCs are unknown there, too.

It is still better than no post office at all, agreed. But don't expect 
more from privatization.
