Posties have mostly been good for me - there have been a few cases of leaving it in front of my parents' place, but I'm not that fussed- nothing's ever been stolen (I think my parents' area is pretty good that way )

Anything that's sent to my current home is always carded (there's no way to deliver it otherwise) but I think once my neighbour brought it in for me

That said... with EMS, I usually have no problem at all... but this just recently :
Have a EMS package from F2F that's been on the way to me for about 5 weeks now, and lo and behold - I contact them asking them why has it been in customs for 3 weeks now, they go off, investigating, then yesterday they call me and say that they can't find the package over here. Yes, you've lost a piece of Soundwave - with a chance of finding him... Aus Post on the other hand has lost... a whole package. Sh!t! Emailed Ryan of F2F already and hoping that something will happen with it Dammit!
