For every anecdotal horror story there are people like me who have lived our whole lives without anything getting lost in the mail. You never hear about that because it's a non-event. I've never mentioned it online until now.

    Not sure I can say "never", but the USPS is rock fucking solid. Tracking might be off a minute, but the package always shows.

    I mail a fair amount of stuff for my job and trust me when I say they lose shit all the damn time. Tracking down lost certified mail is such a pain.

    Its highly variable, post offices and even plants have a lot more individual autonomy then most would expect. This can create drastically different standards in reality in various locales. To the point where you have some areas a whole day faster than posted timeframes and others two days slower.

    I've only had a single package lost by Australia Post and that was ~20 years ago when they were using external contractors for Parcel Post.

    The biggest AusPost 'event' is your parcel shuffling between Sunshine West, Chullora and Welshpool (all three are fully automated 'dark' Distribution centres that have effectively no storage space, so parcels get shuttled between those DC's as a type of 'storage in flight')
