Hmmm. Reminds me of the time I sent my passport to the UK from Germany to get a visa. I sent it by a reliable German courier with tracking facility, blissfully unaware that as soon as it landed the other side of the Channel it was handed over to... Parcelforce. Who immediately lost it. I ended up on the phone to people in the warehouse while they looked under machines for it. Some time later they found it, but not in time to get the visa and have it sent back. Since I couldn't leave Germany (no passport, doh!) I had to pay for flights and hotel for a colleague of mine to travel to London from Germany to fetch it for me. Useless tossers the lot of them.
