Default Items lost in post

Over the last year, I am having problems with ordered goods not being delivered. It seems to be mostly dvds I order in the main. I use Amazon, HMV, and Play.com mostly. It has also happened on one occasion on an item I bought on Ebay. Just wondewring if anyone else was experiencing any problems.

I have lost several items and the common denominator appears to be .... The Post Office!

All the sellers I have dealt with have been fantastic in their response to this problem .... the response from The Post Office .... "well we are rather busy at the moment".

Well with copies they are of very little absolute value anyway - you are talking 34p for postage and about 25p for DVD. If something I send has gone missing I am happy to send another one by recorded delivery in trades. As for firms, I have only actually had one go missing, which DVDBoxOffice replaced after their 30 day waiting period, and I received one disk from Play which was broken and they replaced that too.

I've not knowingly lost anything in the post - yet.

That said, I do recall two letters that were posted off and never arrived - the third copy went recorded delivery and arrived safely.
