I saw this in The Guardian on Saturday, but I can't find the story on the 
Guardian website - however, it is on the PeterboroughToday.co.uk website:
http://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/latest-east-anglia-news/Postman-put-DVD-delivery-in.3543624.jp

A fan of the show ordered the complete series set on DVD only to have it put 
in her dustbin by the postie; the bin was emptied by the refuse collection 
service the following morning...

yep I heard about this and they want to give her like
£32                     for the fact they did and everything it kinda
funny in a sad I don't believe

£32 being the maximum compensation they offer for anything that hasn't had 
postal insurance paid for - though in this case they should be forced to 
make a full refund as it was a simple lack of common sense that caused it to 
be thrown away!  I've had something very similar happen recently - some 
(admittedly very cheap) MP3's I needed for a podcast related promotion 
hadn't turned up after about a week - it was only when I happened to go into 
my porch and see a jiffy bag in the glas recycling box that I realised where 
they had been for the last week.  I didn't even get a note from the postie!

Actually, it might be worth this woman going back to the seller of the 
item - if it was Amazon or HMV they might be able t osend out a replacement 
set.

To be fair to the PO, they have already agreed to make full recompense. 
They accepted the postie "did wrong" - and (AIUI) they also accept it may 
cost more than the "victim" had paid, since she had found a one-off deal for 
(presumably) 2nd-hand DVDs.

I was intrigued at the notion of waiting 'til now - then getting 7 x 22 x 42 
mins all in one go.  That's a fortnight's solid viewing at 8 hours a day. 
What a way to spend xmas :-)))

Apropos nothing, I've relished having the WW theme on my mobile for the last 
year or so.  I always answer "Bartlett", natch :-)))

collect it
