Have you ever sent something in the mail and it did not make it to its destination? A few months back I found this cool Coca Cola trinket for my mom since she collects Coca Cola stuff. Well I sent it in the mail and upon arrival at my mom's house the trinket was not in there. The letter was nothing else. I was so upset. I don't know how anyone could steal something like that. And to think it was the Postal Service too!

Welcome to the wonderful scum bags of the post office. I have had several incidents like that my self. Nothing more frustrating than to send some one something and for it to never arrive. I have gotten to the point that I buy insurance for all items I ship other than general letters. If i have added something to the letter such as a gift card or am shipping an item I buy insurance. When they see the insurance sticker on it they pass it over as its insured and no matter what if it gets lost on the way they are responsible for the replacement. Needless to say that since I have started that all my shipping items arrive to there destination. Its something you may want to start doing.

Thank you for the great idea. Yes I will start doing this. It wasn't that the trinket was expensive it was just cool and I had told my mom about it. She was heartbroken when the envelope arrived with no trinket inside. I was livid to say the least.

Yes i thappened to me soem cases so you sent some letters from the postal service and it came back after some days!!I think is boring when it happened because till that day you gave to be sent that letter or communication to others and so you expected they will receive as soon...but it did not happen so you should to control why and may be re-sent it...so many boring stuffs i guess!!

I rarely use the postal service these days. Anything I want from somewhere else I do not have it sent by postal service. I would prefer getting it at the local store. If I need to send anything by postal service, I would make sure it's properly registered so it does not get stolen. Cheers!!
