Tom BoblittI remember the room from Indiana Jones well.....just saying the UPS Overgoods (what they call the stuff they can't figure out who it goes to) is in Atlanta. Carl brings up EXCELLENT points. While registered mail is SUPPOSED to be the most secure, even it is not immune from issues. Something I see happening FREQUENTLY is people putting brown paper over the outside of packages, sticking the label on the package. With all the sorting devices out there, the brown paper somehow gets snagged, then pulls all the way off and gets separated from the package. Then, no idea who the goods should go to. DON'T USE BROWN PAPER with UPS or FDX. For some ODD reason, the post office still accepts and likes it. ALSO.....put an address label INSIDE the package as well. Working for UPS 23 years, you see this stuff. I've toured FDX hub in Memphis and DHL hub in Wilmington, OH. Same problems, more or less same setup. Very possible it wasn't malicious......but just as likely it might have been.
