<p>[QUOTE="krispy, post: 2041882, member: 19065"]But you can't track a carrier dumping mail in a sewer, not making final delivery, dumping into lobbies of city apartment buildings unsorted to individual boxes, or stuffing everything for a multi family dwelling into one unit's box for them to sort out. Direct Mail (I have had to create a fair amount of it in my area of work) accounts for a lot of waste, wasted time, money, resources and effort, and when the final leg of that effort fails, the whole venture fails. Only volume attempts to break that failure, but it's also breaking the backs of carriers and a vast majority of recipients loath it to no end. I know companies depend on advertising and services depend on jobs it creates, but it's a completely illogical one. I would liken it to the pet industry and the amount of waste to planetary resources that has become, despite the love and companionship pets are said to benefit their owners. </p><p><br /></p><p>I too have had a slim percentage of lost or damaged items using USPS (sending and receiving), but they DO occur and even when people seek coverage for a claim when a parcel is insured, the system is Byzantine in rectifying their errors.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
