Parcels going mising

[Orcs]

I have had two parcels go missing in the past 6 weeks.      all were small enough to fit in the letter box, so they have not been hidden anywhere

One was miniatures from an Ebay seller, and the other was an order of £30 from another manufacturer. The ebay seller resent the item and it arrived ok. The other manufacturer is unwilling to resend the order in case it get lost again, and just wants to give me a refund.  I want the models as no one else makes them. 

I haver now reported the incident to the Post Office, but obviously I cannot make a claim. 

It does seem very strange that these two orders have disappeared, yet other more valuable parcels have been delivered by the Post office without a problem.

That sucks Mr Orcs! Waiting for things that never arrive is a very long wait indeed. They may have gone to wherever the missing socks go.
Say - you don't happen to have a cat? Cats can be total jerks!

My seconds will be calling to arrange a meeting, Sir!

That's very strange, I think we've only had half a dozen missing UK packages in the past 2 or 3 years, it's very rare.  And even those ones tend to get sent back to us quite quickly.  Having 2 in a row like that would make me think there's something/someone iffy in the system somewhere.

The trouble with claiming is that the sellers have to make the claim, and even then the amount of evidence required by Royal Mail is ridiculous.  Both in terms of proving you paid them to ship something and proving what/how valuable the item was.  To be honest, we've never gone through a full claim process as it's far too difficult and time-consuming.

Talking of parcels (or rather a packet)......

There's a jiffy bag on its way, Leon......Should be with you tomorrow.

Hmm, I have two cats and no parcels have ever gone missing.

I have two cats. No parcels have gone missing, but there are a few missing birds, a Scottie dog, and a bicycle that are down to them, and they are being quizzed over the disappearance of a postman.

Well - it's possible that you only THINK no parcels have gone missing! Clever creatures cats. They have probably all ready convinced the authorities to question the slow-witted dog next door regarding the postman.

Mr Kitty - 
Incidentally My seconds are collecting the sheep to begin moving them the the high meadows - so satisfaction may be delayed.

Here we go boys and girls! It happened to me with a parcel of sailors and Moroccans (now there's a surprise!) from Irregular about 25 years ago. Got my stuff from that nice Mr.Kay though when I let him know. Not had a cat go missing yet.

A long time ago my grandparents got very huffy with the milkman for not delivering cream cartons. Investigation showed a happy little terrier skipping upstairs to the loft with said item...and a pile of empty cartons!

So I can't get no satisfaction?

Not Mr Kitty. As the senior male of a Highland family, I am just Kitty.

Hey Hey Hey that's what I say 

Would "The Kitty" also be acceptable?

[FierceKitty]

Probably.

We did have a cat.  She died last Thursday.  I a not a cat lover, so not too worried about it, although its strange not having her around. 

The worst bit was that Mrs Orcs wanted to bury her in the garden.  I had to dig a hole " feet deep to put her in as we have badgers and foxes in the garden.  I covered the box woth wood and a load of flints so hopefully it will discourage them.

Its flipping difficult digging a hole that deep - I am sure it was the cats was of having the last laugh.
