Marco was wary about sending my latest white box via USPS, so I approved it going via UPS
instead. It arrived without a hitch in three days. So, from now on, I will pay extra to have my orders shipped by UPS or DHL.
I, too, read about the USPS Mail Recovery Center (MRC) and the unclaimed mail auctions, which BTW, is frequented by resellers. Too many people posted negative comments about how their mail was lost and never found. The general impression I got from these comments is that the MRC is a joke.
