you know what,

if you're an online shopper, read this:

there's no such thing as lost mail most of the time, i say, 99% of the time.

usually if you don't get ur parcel and the seller tells you most prob SingPost lost the mail and "oh! i will call SingPost tmr to check..."

that means

she's a fraud

because

1) SingPost can't track parcels for you de la for goodness sake.
2) the possibility of lost mail is like very very very low. unless she anyhow throw the parcel into the post box (which makes it her fault). or if she's some popular seller and sends out parcels in bulks, she will usually do it over the counter and the possibility of lost mail is close to 0%. unless she mixed up ur parcel during her wrapping process, that means it's her fault also.

ive encountered 2 cases of "lost parcels" myself. last time i gong gong believe the seller really go call SingPost and whatshit de. now looking back i googled and checked blacklists and realised that these 2 sellers have been blacklisted before.

so my conclusion?

although my sample size is small ( of course i don't wish to have any more never-going-to-come parcels la), i kinda believe in this fact that usually lost mails are not really LOST. unless you're super duperr suay. usually it's the seller. she's a fraud or she's just messed up.

SO, remember to check whether your seller is blacklisted before. don't buy from her if she is. or if not, try to opt for meetup! safest liao.

anyway, side track, watch 2012! LOVE the show. love the theme song too!
