I generally support the USPS. Only two transactions lost out of thousands of card transactions. That being said try to top this postal story:

About 10 years ago I bought a Frank Chance caramel card on ebay. I don't even remember the issue , but it was about $75 and that was ten years ago so a pretty good card (E95?). Never showed up in a couple of weeks. I made inquiries and the dealer was sure it had been shipped on a certain date. No reason to doubt him. Settled in to wait a little longer. A couple of more weeks went by and I received a card from the post office stating that a package sent to me had to be destroyed for health reasons. Sorry!

I had no idea what they were talking about, but I was sure it was the Chance. I took the card up to the post office to inquire. The postmaster who is a friend of mine snorted. He said I'm not supposed to tell anyone this, (BUT he couldn't wait)! Seems a lot of mail had been going missing in the area and they had traced it to a truck driver who delivered to my local post office among others. The guy had gone crazy (yes another crazy postal employee).
They searched his house and found scattered mail bags all over including the bathroom. There was quite a pile of mail he had done his business on. It was supposedly all destroyed. I just wonder if the Chance could have been soaked?
