More and more agencies are closing. In Bnei Brak, one on Rabbi Schach Street closed, one on Pardes Katz.
A woman called, and they answered her: "You can't force people to take part in the tender. We put out a tender, and if people apply, we'll announce it. This is the third time we've put out a tender, and no one has applied.".
Woman: Why are we to blame?

This has been happening in more and more places lately. Post offices are closing suddenly, and the lines are only getting longer. Of the 566 branches spread across the country, only 179 operate directly through the mail, the rest through franchisees. "And they claim that it has not been profitable for them to provide you with service for years.".
For each package, they receive an average of seventy cents. Processing it takes about 5 minutes from the time the package arrives until it is delivered to the customer.
Tali, from the Modi'in Maccabim Reut branch, says that they "don't pay the customer minimum wage, so in the end it turns out that we, the agents, are actually financing the service we provide to Israel Post at the counters.".
Watch.
