Just got my moleskine

This is really something, I love the small moleskine, it is one of the best notepads I actually ever got, thanks Lojadoarco.com! I will enjoy many mores. But I have to say something about it, something negative. Not to Loja do Arco, but to the Argentinean post office. They opened my package, they always does. They open every package to see if it’s something they will actually like to keep, and nobody on my country does nothing. They have stolen (and it’s reported) credit cards, gadgets, computers and even memory sticks, anything they can fit on their pocket, they actually do. Shame. Adults stealing and putting their freedom and job on the line just for a $100, $200 pesos gadget.

They opened my package, and of course, they sent me a letter saying the package came opened from Portugal, where Loja do Arco is located, and that’s an absolute lie. Loja do Arco made a really good tight package in order to prevent the custom/post office guys steal my Moleskine (we are talking about a Moleskine people! but even then, they will steal it, they tried!) so the argentinean post office went through my order, through my private mail. They wanted to see if the content of my package was of their interest…

Here is the package, it came wrapped on plastic by the argentinean post office, so I said “mmm interesting…”

But it came with a letter from the argentinean post office attached…

What the post office letter said

Dear Client:
This package we just deliver to you it has been damaged by a third party, not by us. The package was received damaged from the sender’s country. We are aware that your mail is important to you and you need to get it in good conditions, for that, we have sealed your package in plastic, to preserve the original content.

Thank for your support and good will, Customer Care, bla bla bla, yada-yada-yada

What a nervs! this is really something stupid! a lot of my colleges and friends from Argentina had gotten the exact same letter, it’s printed like if they were doing it all the time! Even people who works as SEO or in the marketing industry here on my country have problems getting paycheks from Google or Yahoo, because at the post office they steal them and then exchange them (don’t ask me how) It’s obvious they do it, and everyone knows they are doing it. The whole country knows they are stealing packages and mail, and the government doesn’t do anything because of course, the post office belongs to them.

Thanks god Loja do Arco has an excellent service and they took a good care of my package, they wrap it really tight! the damn apes from the post office didn’t put their dirty claws on my Moleskine
Here’s what I got!
