I should have made my comment clearer, I meant the postal system specifically from that business ladies place of posting, to the sorting centre her parcels go to.. from there? Somewhere along the line those parcels have been diverted from the delivery route they should have gone on.

Same for the couple that posted wedding invites and not one of them made it to the recipient...someone working for AP must have derailed them.

I haven't had any eBay mail I have sent go missing. I am not a high volume seller though.

There was a postie caught with a garage full of mail in a city near where I live a few years ago. Inside his house he had heaps of gift cards and money orders taken from the mail he stole.
