Uh, yeah. Things that obviously look good get snagged in the mail. My wife subscribes to a magazine called the Fortean Times which has these amazing lurid covers (it's actually a fine magazine about strange phenomena). They shipped the magazines in transparent mailers, and we were only getting about every other issue. We complained, and apparently a lot of other people did, too. Turns out that the issues were getting "lost" in the mail. The publisher switched to opaque, unmarked mailers, and guess what? We now get every issue!
