I saw another thread deviating from the original intention so I thought I'd start a new one just for this!
Here are 4 of my experiences:
1. Mail lost, if I remember it was somewhere in Quebec. About 5 years later I saw a newspaper article about a postal employee who was not delivering all their mail and had been stockpiling it in their house for a long time. About a week later, the item came back to me as undeliverable! The PO had tried to deliver it to the original addressee who had moved!
2. Note from buyer, missing box. I asked him to check his PO to see if they had any news. In the meantime he happened to go to BBQ something for supper that day or the next and lo and behold the postie put the box in his BBQ!!!
3. Returned item damaged in transit. All I got back was the lid of the box! 😞
4. Got a bizzare looking poly mailer from Scotland, it looked like it had dried blood all over it. Stamps inside were OK because it was a plastic bubble mailer. A week or two later I got a note from the fellow advising that the stamps he went to send me were lost because he was hit by a bus while walking to the post office and the package was lost because he was taken to the hospital and had just gotten out! So it was dried blood on the envelope (there was a lot!!!!) and someone must have put it in a post office box or something who found it. A very bizzare situation, he was very happy to hear that it wasn't lost, I think he was in his late 80s so he wasn't a young guy!
Lets hear some more!
