So wrap your packages well, and securely, and address them well, and none of this will happen!
Not nessecarily true lol. yes it is the law... but sometimes crap happens lol. I am living proof of that LOL.

but when going through the machine even if there is a slight tear in the packaging it can easily be ripped off.... and thats why they say to include the address inside the package as well.

I am still trying to figure out how the packaging could have possibly come off the one that has been mysteriously misplaced at the post office. It was the bubble wrap envelope with extra taping to ensure safety.... unless the address got wet and perhaps smudged because it was only written in pen.... I think someone is just enjoying that necklace and not the person it was intended for.

LOL my hubby actually plays with a guy that works for the USPS and it is apparently illegal to drop things in a mail box that is not from the USPS or a mail carrier of some sort.... he said that a neighbour had delivered some cookies to another neighbour and he had to remove the cookies and send a letter to the woman sending the cookies stating it was unlawful to put the cookies in the mailbox and that they had to confiscate the cookies. Interesting how that works.
