We never send anything valuable by mail to the UK, and we ask relatives not to send things to us either. We learned years ago that items are stolen all the time - unfortunately at the UK end. Since you have to write the contents of a package on the customs label, it's obvious to the pilferers which packages to open. It's frustrating, but it's a fact of life.freecybermag said:I was going to send her some from Switzerland but on the 14th December I sent a large box home with about 6 boxes of chocolates and my mother still hasn't got em. Bet bloody royal mail have scoffed 'em all. Swines :x
