How Ptcgo gets stolen in logistics?
It is believed that someone at the Postal department has taken an idea by checking the insurance amount. After getting an idea that there is something precious in the packet the person directly stole it. Another theory states that the package got misplaced during sorting hub lost only.

Conclusion
That’s all for now, I hope you like the information shared above and will share it with your friends and family members. The incident is shocking as how can a reputed courier service can commit this kind of mistake. I will think several times before sending anything through postal or courier service next time.
I also feels it was the badluck of buyer or he is such a poor person that he sucesfully managed to purchase the card but didn’t receive it even after paying full price. The negligence of buyer is seen as he remains silent for more than a 12 months usually a post arrives withing 3-4 weeks not more than that.
