<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 7673906, member: 100459&quot;]It seems that the foreign postal systems haven&#039;t gotten much better since 1967.&nbsp; I was a missionary for my church in Uruguay.&nbsp; My father would send me a check each month.&nbsp; The USPS cost about a dollar to send the mail to me.&nbsp; It would get to the country in about 3 weeks, then I would have to cash it at a bank that dealt in currency conversion from US dollars to Uruguayan pesos.&nbsp; One month, I didn&#039;t get a check.&nbsp; I had to &quot;borrow&quot; enough money to survive from the missionary headquarters.&nbsp; My father told me the check had been cashed.&nbsp; He accused me of trying to get more money.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t until I got home a year later that I asked my father for the bank statements.&nbsp; Back then, the banks would give the returned checks with the statements.&nbsp; When I looked for the check that he said I had gotten, it was evident that the check had been stolen and the signature had been forged.&nbsp; I went to the bank and they said they couldn&#039;t do anything.&nbsp; Even after I showed my father the check, he didn&#039;t believe me.&nbsp; After that, we never had contact again.</p><p>I only tell you that, because there are many things that can cause problems with the mail.&nbsp; Always make sure your purchases are insured.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
