My uncle sent my bro some equipment and powders and chemicals to make rubber. the post office not only opened up the package but dumped out the packets of powders and chemicals. they are probably still cleaning up the mess that they made. hehe jokes on them I guess.
When I lived in England, in the 80s, family sent me jars of Australian confectionery for my birthday. When I got the parcel, all of the chocolates and sweets were mixed up and put back as mixed lots into whatever jars they would fit in. There was no need for it, as the jars were transparent. After "trying" or testing the contents, I can only imagine how many hands went through the lot to put them back in the jars. I threw them out, wondering why they even bothered to continue to send the parcel.
