A friend was asking if it is all right to buy something and not pay extra for tracking. I think it is a foolish move. Why would you pay for an item and cheap shipping knowing the risk that the item could get lost in transit?
Also, she did not think that there are some sellers who are dishonest enough to receive payment for the item plus cost of shipping and handling (if any) and not send the item out because the seller knows that there is no way buyer could prove that the item was never sent out.
Whenever I make a purchase online, I would insist that my packages be traceable and are insured. I know that when it is caught by Customs and tax is imposed, I would have to pay higher taxes because insurance is taken into the calculation but I think that to pay a little extra would be worth it instead of losing the whole sum of money paid for the item plus shipping. What do you think?
