[QUOTE="900fine, post: 322888, member: 6036"]I have lived in the US for 48 years and, to my knowledge, have never one time had a USPS letter fail to reach its destination, nor have I failed to receive one. USPS - 100% success rate for 48 years. That's my experience. The UK is about the size of New Mexico, and barely 1/3rd the size of Alaska. To compare postal services is truly comparing apples to oranges. The UK has a much easier job. Which helps illustrate why Americans feel less need to ship overseas. America is the world's largest free-trade zone with a common language. This has been true for most of our 200 years, and is a major reason why we are so successful and have such a high standard of living. Americans have less need to ship internationally. The statement that German post cannot track in the Netherlands shows how a "patchwork quilt" layout causes problems. Personally, I do not ship overseas for the reasons stated by others - trackability, difficulty with paperwork and problem resolution, etc.[/QUOTE]
