I'd love his email address. I've done some work with this myself. I'm a long time ebay seller and noticed that a certain size yellow bubble wrap container always gets lost. I've got a few - I started putting them in larger plastic bags to not lose them.

Also with the d/c - that's interesting. I've had several packages go into the Atlanta processing center never to be seen again - all media mail/heavier boxes of textbooks - WITH D/C.

I had some interesting experiences where I got everything right but the state abbreviation - IE I put the right zip, but MS instead of MI - those took a few weeks to get back to ME.

Every book I order from Canada comes with the package open and inspected. It makes me paranoid. lol

Also, I USED to know one of the senior developers that works on the sorting software. Interesting 'pillow' talk....

Now what I'd like to look at - more than rebates - is that goldkit.com. You might know the infomercial that THEY send you a kit out and you send your gold in. Last night I saw that, and started checking on reviews - and a lot of people MAIL their packages, and they GO MISSING. Why?

If you use metered mail - they won't scan in d/c at your drop off or pick up - I've watched d/c for years on my metered mail (indicia, stamps.com, and Paypal now - per indicia...)

Smearing D/C on a printer can be a real booger. It won't get scanned at all, or only at delivery.

Love to help out with the Gold kit one. I suspect it would be too easy to pray on people so disparate they'd sell their jewelry to a scraper through the mail that uses aggressive advertising.
