I have sent multiple items to family on Maui and I have yet to hear a peep of an issue. OTOH, when I used UPS to ship from Honolulu to Maui, there were issues. For fucks sake, that was one Island over. Did I mention it was more expensive than the contents? Of course this was in the bad old days before the Postal Service got into shipping packages in any major way.
As to the envelopes, talk to the super, they might be having, believe it or not, an issue with the machine that processes first class mail at one of the plants. If they hear about it, they can fix it. Oh and likely it is a small issue. But the other thing we do, since hubby works at the plant, is we not only close the envelope, we put scotch tape on it. It helps.
Oh and one last thing, hubby suggests if you suspect robbery, you talk to the cops, in this case the Postal Inspector. If somebody is doing that, we are talking a major felony.
