Usps
Stolen Passport from Mail

The Venezuelan Consulate of San Francisco shipped my passport on Thursday, Aug. 27th using a flat-rate Priority Mail envelope, en route to Los Angeles. It is now Sept. 3rd, one week later, well past the 5 day maxmimum period of Priority Mail delivery, and I do not have my passport. To make matters worse, I leave for South America the following Tuesday, Monday being a holiday. This essentially gives me one day to sort out my passport and visa situation, which is impossible. My vacation is ruined.

Please be very wary of sending passports via USPS. Even certified mail, delivery confirmation, or tracking does not safeguard you from the mail carriers from outright stealing your packages. Think about it, if you can take a passport without anyone knowing (or caring even if a complaint is issued), that's an extra several hundred bucks you can sell on the black market.

DO NOT TRUST USPS IF AND WHENEVER POSSIBLE. This is an urgent warning, please learn from my mistakes.
