LOST IN POST



What actually happens to a mailed item that has it designated as being "lost"?
It must have ended up be somewhere.
Is mail stolen by postal workers?
If so, then the mail is not lost, it is wherever the thieves put it.
Do they employ posties who can't read and the mail ends up delivered to the wrong address?
If so, then it's not lost, it is at the wrong address.
Do they have a skip at the sorting office where they just randomly thrown mail in?
If so, then it is not lost, it is in a skip.
The only way an item can be truly lost, forever, is if they have a furnace or machine at the sorting office that evaporates mail.!
Getting a refund doesn't replace any unique content the mail may contain.
The postal service does have a "guaranteed next day delivery" service which is much more expensive than everyday postage prices.
So is the idea itself (the thought of mail being lost in post) a deliberate psychological operation to instil fear in customers in order to force many to purchase the expensive next day delivery service which they otherwise wouldn't have considered?
It is as if the thought of mail being lost in post has been normalised specifically for this purpose.
ALL mail should have a guaranteed delivery, not just select ones.
