When I buy something on here eBay or dabs.com I don't tend to think about it getting lost in the post my main worry is that the seller won't send it. I`ve never had anything I`ve bought go missing yet (touch wood) so the risk is very low.


IME, it has varied greatly depending on where I have been living.

A flat in a block in London, with individual boxes in the hallway and a heap of parcels underneath that postie couldn't get into individual boxes? Not to mention never having the same postie twice? I used to get stuff delivered to work because otherwise it would never "arrive".

An isolated farmhouse on Dartmoor? When there are several houses of the same name scattered in nearby villages having the same sorting office and nearly the same postcode? Whether the recipient treats it as an unsolicited gift/can't be bothered to take it to the postoffice/ knowingly steals it/ or it never arrives, I have no views on.

I would suspect that your faith in systems is a lot greater than your faith in individuals - so, if someone claims something "didn't arrive", you would suspect them in the same way that you appear to suspect sellers.

But, being in the second situation above, I am perhaps more anxious of things going astray through no fault of the sender.
