  In response to this question - It is a little of both.  In addition to the 
personality isue, there have been some disturbing incidents in the mail over 
my years of sending and receiving 3D items.   The Chinese Aet Set was sent to 
me UPS COD in two boxes - the COD box arrived, but the other box never did.  
Since it was replacable - the insurance covered the replacement - but what if 
it was an irreplacable item?!  Walter Sigg sent me a large order of Lestrade 
and Brugierre cards, and they were insured.  After 4 months and no package, 
Walter collected the insurance money.  A month later it arrives - 5 months in 
all - and the postmarks indicated it was sent to France!!!  Lestrade and 
Brugierre - France - WEIRD!!!!  Walter actually returned the insurance money 
to the Post office - I feel the aggravation and forms which were filled out 
were worth the insurance money.  Even my postal clerk said he should have 
kept the money.  Once a package from Dalia sent Fed Ex was misdelivered.  The 
recipient was honest and I got my package.  3D cards from Jim Harp - who 
lives 45 minutes from me - took 3 weeks to get to me.  Once a package was 
sent back to the sender stamped "no such address" when my correct address was 
clearly typed on the package.  Insured packages (over $100) are often left by 
my door.  There are other stories and, granted, no real serious losses - and 
all over a 20 year period, and I know others have had their losses and 
problems - but every time I am expecting an important package - I worry.  So 
maybe it is more of a personality issue - who knows.  Anyone else have any 
stories to tell?
