<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 2437016, member: 71234&quot;]Can you cite any evidence for this remarkable allegation, or did someone say it on the internet?</p><p>I have sent about 10,000 international packages, never with any form of tracking, and has a loss rate of about 1 in 500 items. Most people are in no position to cherry pick &#039;packages with no tracking&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Most of the time postal packages are in closed containers destined for the general destination country, and postal services are not stupid, they monitor vulnerable points with CCTV and random searches and inspections. Anyone apart from the most casual worker with the least access has got a valuable pension to lose, it&#039;s really not worth the risk for a few dollars.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems unknown to many Americans, but in most countries of the world, tracking of routine mail is unknown. Only the most vauable items are sent by some form of special deivery, at considerable extra expense. This marks things out as being worth stealing, but theft from the mail is not a common thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The major causes of loss are poor packing and or addressing and misdelivery by the postman.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
