Ted ZanidakisHere's my 2-pence....for what ever it is worth......
Since the late 1970's I have ZERO DEFECTS mailing and receiving cards via 1st Class, Insured, US Mail.
That is an unbelievable record and I am talking about 1000's of pieces of mail......perhaps, I have been
very LUCKY.
And perhaps, LUCK isn't the reason. I think it has more to do with the following practices that I adhere
to....and I highly recommend:
(1) Rent a PO Box
(2) In a small Branch Post Office (avoid the big central Post Offices)
(3) Packages with $500 or more value send via REGISTERED mail
(4) Insist that when receiving hi-value packages, that they are sent REGISTERED
(5) If sender uses UPS, FEDEX, etc. inform them that they cannot send to your PO Box (this is a NO-NO)
Now, if I were to tell you all the screw-ups UPS has made sending packages to me....I would fill up pages
on the Net54 screen....so, I wont bore you with the negative.
