[Dx-qsl] Rcvd: T32WW, Buro

Fri Jul 23 20:01:52 EDT 2004

What I REALLY hate is when you get a plastic bag from the Post Office 
containing what is left of the buro supplied brown envelope that got 
destroyed in the mail. From the postage on the envelope you would 
assume it was pretty full of cards, their whereabouts unknown. This 
has happened to me twice in 2 years, yes I have complained to the buro 
people, and they blame the P.O. I have ONLY had this problem with 
buro mailings, my other mail gets to me fine.
I always keep a minimum of 10ドル.00 on file with the buro so they can 
buy envelopes anytime they need to do so and don't need to overstuff 
them when they do a mailing.
I should say the problem is not with my current W7 buro but with the 
buro from where I moved from 6 months ago where I had been a active 
contester and DXer for the last 20 years, as well as making a couple 
of DXPeditions with instructions to QSL to my then home call.
Does this happen to anyone else??
