I have a friend in Germany who has sent me and other people countless packages but lately he has issues of letters never arriving or just dissappear altogether.
To begin a few years ago, he sent someone a letter containing a gamecube memorycard to Austria. The letter was cut open, and the memorycard was taken out, and the receipiant only got the letter.
Now going back to this year. He sent a letter to the US a month ago, containing 3 Magic the Gathering cards. It never arrived.
Now he sent me a package, it was actually sent as a 'letter' because it was too light and they said they couldn't send it as a package because of its weight. He had no other choice. He sent me 4-6 packages before and they always arrived within 2/3 days. He sent it on the 3rd December and now it's already the 9th and it still hasn't arrived.

He sent me an Applejack plush and a few blindbags.
Does the Deutsche post have had these issues with letters? He never payed extra for a tracking code because packages rarely ever get lost before, especially if it doesn't have to travel that far. He never changed addresses, names , he has been using the same info as he did for years. But it is really strange how my package suddenly gets delayed or even lost just because it was a letter.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
