warning about track pin purchases

[Snowtractor]

... I've bought a fair few things from Rob, I live a fair peice away from him, and I have received all of the stuff. I also found it to be as described and nice.
Rob has never been quick though, but I have never felt stiffed or cheated.
On a side note I have lost a few items in Canada post though and the bums just tell me I should have bought registered mail because they can't guarantee deliver otherwise! WTF is up with that garbage? Sounds like the mob selling insurance.
