savageamusement · 11-06-2006, 09:38 AM

I have posted this on a couple sites, to get feedback-

As many people trade in differnet areas- I am curious as the the percentage of packages that go missing

as I am curious US to US versus overseas and so on-I have tried to make several options

Any feedback, is appreciated

With trading I have not lost any yet but im sure the UK post service will slip up soon enough. They once lost a very expensive football(soccer) book I had sold but luckily I had it fully insured when sending

I believe I have had 6 packages lost total, some I wonder if it was really lost but still for the amout that I ship I can handle only 6.

inside the states, i ship via priority mail

i havent lost one yet

and that includes my sports collectables days, beanie baby days,motorcycle parts, and now tv shows

i recently had one not show up, and not be in the usps system, but it was returned about 65 days later

printing the label and bar code does make a lot of difference

as far as canada, its also a perfect score for global priority to canada

if i need a signauture verified online--for paypal, then i ship ups to canada, its pretty good, but one did take 2 months, due to a form being filled out wrong by ups, fedex is 4-6 times the cost of ups to canada

and to europe, again its a perfect score, except for three packages to northern ireland, that were --lost--

funny how others had a similar loss with one address

the only thing i have a problem with, is when 1 or 2 discs are sent via first class, they get caught in the sorting machines, i have had many returned all mangled, with a sorry note

even when i write--hand sort--they still machine them
