NALs,
I think it would fair to say that even a gigantic improvement probably wouldn't be enough to risk shipping anything of real value.
I think it might be a little misleading to encourage people to use the system at this point in time.
For anyone who has followed similar threads on the DR post ofice system, you might recall I had an ongoing wager with my sister regarding the post cards I sent her 2 years ago. Well, so far I'm winning, but then again I said she'd never get them, so I still have to wait for awhile to collect.
I've been impressed by the Dominican Postal Service, given the way it used to be. At least in my case, I receive everything that is sent to me via the Dominican Postal Service.
Don't know if its because of the improvements in the system or if the senders make sure every single postage is placed on the envelops. I know that if you don't have enough postage, sometimes they get rid of the mail rather than return it to the sender.
The most recent mail from the DR that I received was the most recent edition of Revista Mercado and this is how the envelop arrived (notice the numerous stamps):
Everything arrived on time and with no signs of tampering or anything. The envelop arrived sealed and everything that was suppose to arrive, arrived; despite this being a very pricey magazine to subscribe to (US$70).
I know everyone might not have the same experience, but at least in my case, I am impressed with the service and with the fact that important companies like the Mercado Media Network trust INPOSDOM when making deliveries of their product(s) to their clients, anywhere in the world; speaks volumes of the service INPOSDOM offers.
