Sorry to hear about the loss... I've learned through hard experience to never send ANY package through USPS without delivery confirmation. Last summer, they lost a box of books I sent that was 12" x 12" x 16"!!! It was my own mistake for assuming they were competent enough not to lose something that big.But, the moral of the story here is that if they can lose something that big, they can lose ANYTHING.
I think the postal networks are so big that having the odd parcel go wayward is inevitable from time to time. I had a close call lately with a parcel that nearly didn't make it. It got as far as the local depot but I never received the notification that it was there and awaiting payment of custom fees. By the time I discovered this it had already been turned round and sent to the national hub for returning back over to the US. The PO did a grand job of intercepting it and redirecting it back to me I think the most important part of mailing something is the return address - effectively it doubles the chances of ending up in safe hands. I hope it eventually turns up mate
That depends on the package. For many packages it's not worth the extra cost of delivery confirmation. We have had a number of guys try to do some business around here over the years and failed miserably because the shipping costs (especially out of the US) was just too expensive. No one wants to pay $15 postage on top of a $10 item.DefSent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
Wow... months!!!! That's crazy! Makes you wonder if they field tested whatever it is before they decided they didn't like it and then packaged it up and sent it on.
