Europe Mail Safety

Is anyone else having trouble with mail going missing in Europe?

KGV, Europe may be small, but lots of different postal entities! Which country(ies)? Personally I do a lot with the Western part - Holland, Germany, Belgium, France, Switzerland - and have no problems!

Have noticed a big decline in sales to Europe as a whole.

But have also noticed an increased in lost mail.

It is to the point that I have nuked Europe and am looking to open up South East Asia.

Things sometimes go missing in Translyvania. Airmail sometimes.

Other than that, good coming from to Canada.

I think that addressing mails according to how the receiving COUNTRY needs it to be addressed helps a lot. Talking their language or writing helps a lot too. Italia instaed of Italy for instance.

They then don't have to wait for a week or two for vacationers and holidayers to return and sort it out.

KGV I have had a lot of issues with mail coming to the US getting stolen. Most recently an item from France went missing and 7 weeks later it appears to be gone. In January a registered letter from Spain was never scanned again after initially being accepted at the counter.

I have also had issues here in the US- 2 registered letters sent in 2015 stopped being scanned during transit and never arrived.

It looks to me that many people in Europe are unemployed or have low payed government jobs.It makes for many desperate people.
The issues of the Middle East have over taken France Spain Greece Italy and are reaching further into the northern countries.
Calais in France to the UK is a very sad place when it come to refugees and also other Europe countries have this issue as well. Areas of France the police do not enter.
Spain Greece Italy Ireland have an underlying unemployment rate of over 65% +.
Germany is holding up the Euro. America is out of massive debt because Europe is buying up the US$ as quick as the US can print it!
Europe has the sounds and looks of many 3rd world countries spinning out of control.
