| | | | | (...) Hey Brian. I'd like to say I have a similar problem. Its not with currency though and it never came through. Geordan Hankinson and I had a trade. He sent it and it never came to me!

| | | | | | | Evan, Was Geordan's parcel sent via registered mail? I'm trying to find out this same question. Is there any need to send something registered if all the post office can do is tell you it's lost when it never shows up! I already new my package was (...)

| | | | | | | | (...) What you are getting with Registered mail is that the item is shipped in a locked container. This means only postal employees ever have any chance of handling it. It doesn't really confer any additional services (there are other services for (...) (23 years ago, 1-Apr-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.market.shipping)

Registered mail has to be signed off at each step of the way. Each office that (...) (23 years ago, 1-Apr-02, to lugnet.market.shipping)

| | | | | | I have had a similar problem, I sent a parcel to the states (sry, cant remember to whom, please come forward, Jason or Robert or Chad?) with some train sets.

It is primarily about proving that the sending/receiving occurred, not about guaranteeing delivery, and certainly not about finding out where it went. What you got is proof that the recipient really didn't (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.general)

| | | | | | | Thanks to everyone who provided info on my folly. I must admit that it never occurred to me the letter could go missing while it was under lock and key. I was also under the misconception that it could be traced. This has been a costly lesson. I've (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.general)

I actually had a registered letter arrive from the US with far more than enough stamps on it - it took almost 3 weeks to arrive!!! (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.general)
