If your away from your home counry how do you get the many pieces of mail we see each day.

Or at least the important stuff or mail order items.

We do 99.9% via the internet. Plus we use a mail forwarding service, but by the time that stuff catches up with us it's old news.

Same here, 99.999% online now.

Only problem is ATM/credit cards. My sister usually forwards them to me.

As long as they affix sufficient postage, it's 100% as far as I know. The postal system in Japan is at least as efficient as the one in the US. I've never had problems mailing in either direction.

Exception: a gift package sent by my mother did get bounced at customs once for some reason that was never made clear (maybe because it had food in it). That wouldn't happen to letters, though.

For me in Japan, I have recently been having troubles. I have had a few letters and packages taking a month or never coming. I think the reason has to do with some portion of world mail for some reason is being sorted in Denmark and they are messing up. The alternative is that I have been marked by the CIA and they want to check whether it really is the English edition of the incredibles from my mom or a BOMB from osama. :

(I know I am going to get a visit from some men in dark suits for this post)
