GRINS - I have had some very good experiences in the US & Canada with shipments from Amazon & EvilBay - from the US / Hong Kong / China etc. In both the locations the houses have trap door letter boxes in the Garage wall where the post man pushes things in and they fall safely into a wire basket. For bigger parcels the USPS / Canada Post or UPS / DHL guy knocks on the door and deliver the stuff - we always give our street address and phone number in the shipping address. On three occasions we were not in the house and the packages were pretty large - expensive stuff too. It was neatly placed between the main and mesh door of the house. What a surprise? Some of you may want to know which cities these were - Chicago, Thornhill, Ontario, Canada and San Mateo in tne Bay Area California. Here in Bangalore, India, the world's software / computer city, the Postman leaves a slip stuck on your door asking you to come and collect. And some Couriers leave a message telling you they will be back the next day at approx xx time - awesome customer service. F*ck*ng thrilling experience. Regards. Bipin - from that far away enchanting land.
