Not here, Bernie, - FedEx even leaves packages at the local gas-station
without noticing me! Then they call from the gas-station two weeks later
and ask if I want the package!
Whatever people say, - in my experience the regular mail works excellent!
Since 1982, only one package has been lost, but later found again.
Though I send only some 10% by courier, (when the receiver has a courier
account) - two packages have been lost in 3 years, one in Nairobi and the
other in Brisbane.
