Your friend is an idiot for not sending rent checks Express with delivery confirmation and insurance, no matter how good the service is.

what good would insurance do? i'd still be out the damn checks...i couldn't care less about the DVD, they can keep that...i need to pay the damn rent!!

USPS insurance don't cover Checks...

postal workers have no damn integrity

the post office has a little heart... my friend's dad just came over to give me the checks... whoever stole the DVD, mailed the checks back to him, and he just brought it down for me...

You don't know jack. Then envelope could've been torn open by the machinery and the contents dropped out. It doesn't make sense for someone to steal a DVD and mail back the rent checks. It seems a bit odd that your friend's dad was able to hand deliver the recovered checks whereas your friend didn't but instead took the checks to the P.O. to mail.

I wouldn't put myself in the position you put yourself in of being the middle man between your friend and the landlord. And if I were him I'd wouldn't want you as an intermediary in case you screwed up. I'd mail or hand the check to the landlord or deposit into his checking account.

thats my point, if the envelope was torn up my machinery how come the checks miraculously survived and was returned to me, whereas the dvd was absent?

well sure he could have hand delivered it to me, but he was busy and i was busy, he had just about a week to pick up and move his life from nyc to HK i wasn't about to make him bring me the checks, and i wasn't about to go to his house to get em.

Because the checks had a name and address on them, but the DVD didn't?

Nevermind, you're hopeless.

no no, please explain...im interested as to how this situation could have been averted...

and yes, i got an empty envelope marked "received without contents"

and a simple wire transfer would do no good, im subletting his apt, and the rent checks need to goto the landlord under his name..

confirmation and insurance would insure that the package got to you.
instead, your friend was cheap
/thread

His package got there it just didn't have it contents. Insurance and Confirmation would have not solved this problem. Insurance would of just meant he would of got paid for the items lost. The only service that would of helped this was registered mail which is very expensive.

thats what i think as well...maybe tfinch2 would like to clarify how insurance and confirmation could have helped?

Thanks, kranky. It's a bit sad the OP couldn't figure that out himself. Does the OP still really think a thief is going to steal a DVD and then mail back the checks?

well sure he could have hand delivered it to me, but he was busy and i was busy, he had just about a week to pick up and move his life from nyc to HK i wasn't about to make him bring me the checks, and i wasn't about to go to his house to get em.

He was too busy to drop them off but not too busy to go to the P.O. and stand in line to mail the envelope? Of course his old man wasn't too busy and it wasn't too far for him to drop off the returned checks.

There's an old thread about a mailman who stole a bunch of Netflicks DVDs. Maybe he's got a brother working in the P.O. up in your neck of the woods.

sending checks/cash in an envelope is always a bad idea...

funny, all the major financial institutions, employers, and rebate centers think otherwise. there's this great feature about checks...

they can be stopped.
