Title: how many lost sends is too many?
Post by: markwest on March 19, 2012, 01:13 pm
i was wondering what people here would view as too many lost deliveries would be too many, and cause you to stop using the same adress.

One, two at a push.
Assuming, that is, that all of your vendors are reliable with good track records.

you should stop using that address even if you get 1 lost. odds are it was just not sent was sent to wrong address or someone in the mail line took it for them self. but if it was found out to have drugs inside they should send you a letter saying so but some time they don't. so dont want to risk it even if it was just lost or you giving gifts to your mailman.

i'd say one from a reputable vendor as well - it's near enough certain it's been pulled up in customs

i even think that only ONE is to much to keep on working with the address.
in my opinion it is to dangerous to keep on using this branded address.

just open a mailbox up. get a fake id if you can you need a 2ed one so if you know someone f2f who dose fake id a lot of time they do fake school ones as well. open box have it sent there if 1 order dose not make it never go back to that box. also with mailboxs you can use a business name so if you cant get a fake id you can just say you own a business and want mail to sent to it so you dont even have to have you name on it. that what some people are doing. b/c if you use a fake name the usps may not mail it b/c no one by that name lives there.

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action, though personally I lean towards the one or two lost packages before I switch.

A different question to ask: out of all the mail that goes out, how much ends up as lost? 

Could we get a vendor to chime in here on their delivery rates?  Out of 10, 50, 100 packages (whatever), how many end up as non-delivered?

pine compiled a massive thread of this data, search it out.

Say I order something from NL to the USA and it doesn't show up, maybe its lost, maybe not sent, but would it still be ok to order from Canada or should i just stick with domestic or just stop for a while and wait it out or switch my address.

Same question. Two NL orders have not shown up after 30 days (both from good vendors, but since this time their ratings have dropped). Since then a few domestic and Canadian orders have shown up just fine. No love letters.

Well I have two NL orders and a Canadian order that haven't shown up after 18 days.  I will not be using this address anymore.  Not sure what exactly happened as they were from good vendors.  Even a vendor I have received from before. 
Although it is still in the back of my mind that one day I will open the mail and see all three waiting for me in their glory.  Only time will tell, but can't use this address anymore.

In GERMANY you get a love letter about 5 to 6 month (!) after seizure!
Just to let everyone now that is absolute ridiculous to wait for a love letter
14 days after shipment thru the vendor!
