I have an acquaintance ( he would call me friend I never corrected him on that so I guess thats my fault) Anyways....this "Friend" is American. We talk mostly about gaming and anime. Anyways all of this is besides the point.

He has a steamdeck that has been acting up. Its slowly dying and only a matter of time till its dead I assume. Now I suggested he sends it in to get it repaired. Am I being naiive or is the US postal system so bad that it will get stolen immediately ? As he seems to assume ?

In my country I would just send it in and get it repaired if it was dying but I admit I dont know thaaat much about the state of the US postal system. To me and I dont want to accuse my friend this reeks of conservative brainworms that you cant trust the postal service and your package will get stolen...which doesnt really happen in my country.

He is in a northern state if that matters.
