[QUOTE="Burton Strauss III, post: 24643911, member: 59677"][USER=115409]@Silverpop[/USER] That's just not generally true. The USPS handles 23.8 million packages a day. [URL]https://facts.usps.com/one-day/[/URL] only a tiny tiny fraction have problems. Five or six nines have no problems. Now if you are the one of a few hundred per day.. that sucks. I wouldn't put a package in the blue collection box [URL]https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-postal-service-cracking-down-mail-theft-crimes-against-carriers-2023-05-12/[/URL] And there have certainly been targeted thefts of packages addressed to / from the TPGs and Auction Houses and Bullion sellers. Honestly, though, the biggest problem beyond blue box thefts is stealing checks then washing off the pay too and amount and rewriting them for larger amounts. By the time grannie finds out the check ahe wrote to the church for $25 for the potluck has been modified to be $250 and deposited into somebody else's account and withdrawn as cash or transfered overseas... the crooks are long gone and Grannie has to fight with the bank.[/QUOTE]
