RE: The Old Dog Presents: An Update on Package Wars, Me Against Postal Thieves. Who Will Win?
Since you sent it by registered mail, I'm hopeful he'll get it safely... as you know I have traded on eBay for almost 20 years, and I have found registered to be extremely reliable, especially for international mail.
But yes, mail theft is a problem. However, most packages are lost because there is not signature required-- they are left by the front door or in a mailbox and thieves see that as easy pickings.
I hope, and I'm sure that you are right. Did you read that Amazon is now offering a service where the delivery man can enter unlock your home, leave the package and lock it again? Where are we headed @denmarkguy?

I don't know @kus-knee; where I live, the mail is delivered to a cluster of lockable mailboxes at the end of the street, and large things are put in a couple of parcel lockers... and the keys to the locker is locked in your individual mailbox.
I heard about the Amazon thing, but I'm not sure I am ready to let strangers in my house... not even sure how Amazon plans to vest these people.
Yes those clustered mailboxes are big in Canada as well. I've yet to see them here and a big no to Amazon being linked to my wifi network and door lock!
