I have also heard from a certain well placed person that the main post office in Greenville SC is a major point for stuff (gift cards esp) disappearing only to reappear at delivery with no contents. Complaints that were filed apprently were quashed or flat out ignored. Anything of value goes UPS or Fedex.

Someone sent my wife a birthday card a few years ago that contained a 'gift card' when it was mailed...the 'gift card' disappeared somehow before it arrived.

How hard would it be to get those exploding die packs that banks use to identfy robbers? If they’re stealing stuff that regularly, it might be fun to set them up.

I choose FedEx...I had the unionized UPS "lose" a box full of items I ordered as Christmas gifts one year. I tracked it online and the trail ended at one of their warehouses. Thankfully I got a full refund from the online retailer.

FedEx has never lost a package, and every one arrives intact. With the USPS, I get other people's mail (less now that the last driver, who drank, was fired/retired/promoted, whatever) and often mail arrives open or shredded. They are kind enough to wrap it in plastic with a note telling me it has been shredded or opened, in case I couldn't figure that part out.
