Missing Magazines

Question

Dear Expats,

I have several international magazine subscriptions from the U.S. They were arriving like clockwork jfor months and then all of a sudden they just stopped coming. I called the publishers twice and they confirmed they are still sending them to my address, which has not changed.

Is it possible that the magazines are being held for me at my local post office? I have not gotten any note but I am considering stopping by to ask. Will they laugh me out of there? Has anyone experienced this kind of thing? Could someone be ^- paranoia creeping in - stealing the magazines?

Muchas gracias.

Jill

I've had many experiences of items going missing in ixelles or being at the post office and not receiving a note. I think my neighbours also stole post too (from my letter box.

However, lately i noticed that taxipost are really holding onto items until they obviously have a van full and delivering only at their convenience. I sent two items at the same time from Amazon. One was dispatched four days earlier than the other and arrive 2 weeks later than the later one. Go figure.

i don't trust the post here very much and only use registered delivery and ask people to do the same. Or use a courier like FedEx.
