So recently i have been having some problems with Texas. Not the people, not those on this site. I firmly believe that my recent trades I have not encountered a ripper. However, on 4 seperate occasions (and possibly a 5th) of trading with Texas, my cards just don't get there. I end up having to buy these cards after I had sent as they are usually <50 and not worth 15 dollars to ship registered. But then nothing happens and I end up paying out anyway.

Just wondering if anyone else is having similar problems.

I've had zero problems with the many things I've shipped to Texas, be it with DC or without it.

You asked, I was just replying.

I live in Texas, and of 100s of trades I've only had maybe 1-2 packages not come in. the other 98% of the time, I got everything fine.

I see you're in Canada so d/c isn't really a cheap option for you, but it's like sending to Europe. The receiver can decide if they want to be honest and be happy that they got the item they paid for, or be dishonest and say the item didn't arrive and get their money back plus the cards. Honestly, mail doesn't get "lost" that often. Magic players just aren't an honest bunch, unfortunately.

What I am beginning to think is that there may be a problem somewhere along the shipping route. I will be investigating monday to find out whats happening.

It might be interested to send through a proxy (ie. third party) to one of the addresses that you had issues with. This will only work if you trust the person your sending to, but it might be a way to determine if its the route that your mail is taking or not.

Unfortunately in this case, correlation will seriously NOT point to causation, it might still be interesting to see what happens.
