I HAVE HAD TWO REGISTERD MAILS TO ITALY DISAPPEAR and One to GERMANY. ALL
RECEIPTS KEPT AND PHOTOS SENT. NO TRACE. I have mailed over 500 packages in
the last 6 months... I believe I know my business. Don't tell me registered
mails don't disappear.

WHY is it that the US Postal System will not give insurance on packages to
Italy? Because that system is corrupt beyond understanding!
