DB is better than it's reputation. What is really amazing is German postal service. Contrary to some reports it is reliable. And they do understand how to work digital.
Compare with Belgium. For many years it ranked below moldovia in the world postal reliability report. Delivery is unreliable, many packages disappear. During COVID I wanted to buy stamps. In Germany you just print the stamps. No printer? Just use a pen and write a code on the letter. In Belgium they offered to send me stamps by postal mail. After I lost many packages and one was going back already to the US (address cant be found) I wrote a real nasty email to the Belgian minister in charge of the post office. They actually rerouted my us package back and were able to deliver it :-). The postman got a nasty talk with his both for forging my signature for packages he just put in front of the door and that goes stolen. 500 dollar loss...
