Sent Joe the spare caps I had through the post last week..never arrived. Sent Eatit a CD the week before..never arrived. The Royal Mail has certainly made it's mark as one of the premier services in the world where you actually pay up front for the privilege of being robbed.  -edit- The Customer Complaint process is so complex it even has it's own flowchart.  http://www.royalmail.com/link/download?catId=4200004&mediaId=84400741 |

Think positive, they may be out of production now and worth a few bob when you do get them. |

I actually sent a signed Spurs vs Inter programme to a mate in America in very early January... thought some pikey had snarfed it from the mail... turned up a couple of days before the AC Milan game! Never know, might turn up... I'd given up hope to be honest... was sent Air Mail, and all... two bloody months!!

Joe's caps are at the depot waiting for an extra £1.10 postage. Even though it's a small jiffy bag, they still class it as a package. |

I stuck them to a pikey with a first class stamp. Is that The Royal Mail?  |

Our local crims in the Australia Post are organised.
This doesnt happen anymore because the banks are onto it. But a few years ago I applied for a new ready card, not a credit, just a card you can use at atms etc.
So the bank has this security proceedure where they send you the card and a few days later the pin arrives in one of those 'only you can see' tear it envelopes.
So the scammer at the post office can see straight away that the envelop contains a card. They pinch that envelope and take note of the address. They watch your mailbox. Whilst you are at work the postie delivers your mail and the scammer checks your letterbox until he finds the mail from the bank with the pin details.
They then proceed to empty your account of funds.
The annoying thing for me is that I get home and find a shredded envelope next to my mail box, didnt even have the decency to clean up the rubbish.
I reported to the fuzz and got the money back.
I note that nowadays you have to go into the bank and activate your card.

That happened to my old man.
It wasn't long after he complained (and got in the local paper) that the cops caught the postie in the act of withdrawing funds from some other poor buggers account.

Think about it.
If you orchestrated this yourself you could deny the bank ever sent you the card, rip yourself off with the 'stolen' pin and then sign a statuary declaration at the cop shop saying you have been robbed by a postal worker. The bank would be obliged to reaccredit your stolen funds. And you have doubled your money.
Just sayin.
