Barry...there is no doubt I am probably more trusting than most. My experience is that when there is a problem with the postal service, there is often an explainable reason for that problem. I think people are often hesitant to admit mistakes...such as they addressed the package incorrectly.

Think about this: How many bills that you mail with the pre-addressed envelopes fail to make it to there destination? Almost never...well it has never happened to me (I'm 45 and have a lot of bills ). How many times do we read on the board about a mailing issue where the seller obviously addressed the package themselves? Every other month or so. If it is not human error then it's some manner of theft, which is where having a signature at some level of insurance comes in to play.

My point: care in addressing the package is a key and always write legibly when printing the return address. The postal service isn't perfect but they are pretty darn good.
