Undelivered letters
02 Feb 2020, 19:41:57
I decided to calculate to which country the letters are not delivered well. To do this, I took the top 100 members and copied the table into excel file, then divided the number of letters sent by the number of letters received for each user and finally sorted by this value.
If all the letters were delivered without losses, then for a user with a high rating and a large number of sent letters this value would be approximately 1/1,125 = 0,89 . And the more undelivered letters are, the larger this number is.
I got that New Zealand mail works best - Feijoa_girl has a coefficient = 0.91. And the worst with mail delivery is in Belgium - rajen has a coefficient = 1.32.
If we take first and last 10 values of these coefficients, the best ones are New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, France and Italy. Many undelivered letters from users are in Belgium, Russia (twice), Latvia, China (three times), USA (twice) and Italy.
These are the statistics of our club.

Natalia, you are missing one topic on your statistic study. At the beginning of this club, the initial members received extra slots to accommodate for enough club free slots to allow initial exchanges ... Thus some of these users still have more received than sent exchanges (eg. me, although I've now lost 4 exchange packs I still have a positive ratio of 2).

Oh oh, I just 'drew' an exchange partner in Slovenia and filled the envelope ;-)
Still sending it of course, the joy of (him/her) someone receiving a package outweighs the disappointment (me) of knowing they got lost.

a lot of lost mail is in time lapse of march2020 - may2020 due to Corona situation...

It is especially interesting when the club members from the same country are at opposite poles of this table ... :)

Interesting statistics. I checked my results and it was 0,95 (266/280). But there might be several reasons for this difference. My opinion is that sometimes you get addresses to collectors who have already stopped being active. They receive the letters, but do not register them. But it is also correct that now and then yoy get an address With a profile that you regret asking for. And sometimes the mail system is to blame.

"Tempus spargendi lapides et tempus colligendi..."
Some members left out the top100 and they are no longer in the table (rajen, Belgium).
The letters are delivered well to Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Netherlands, Germany, France, New Zealand and Israel.
The letters are delivered badly to Latvia, Russia, USA, Israel, Italy, Chile, China and Netherlands.
Please note that 2 countries - the Netherlands (KLM04889 and GPKnl) and Israel (boka and khamus) - there are on both lists. Compare the wishes of these users. Perhaps, due to so high requirements/wishes of someones they don't receive letters? :)

I have 12 letter that never arrived at their destination, one of then it did but the recipient didn't know how to register it, that's what he told me, in all most of them are for different countries except two for Canada, two for Croatia and two for Belgium.

this is statistic for this club

i have my own stats for my exchanges thru the years and i have to say - most letters i have lost to Italian and Russian addresses (if i look my club expired (if i take them as lost) ones - above all are the USA)

No body's crazy here but hoping for something bad to happen is not a very positive thought.
07 Feb 2020, 14:01:45
What about mental health of some?? :):):)
07 Feb 2020, 13:55:55
I hope not!
07 Feb 2020, 09:45:39
I hope so....
07 Feb 2020, 05:46:07
Wolfgang, I suggest that all the members of this club are honest people :)
06 Feb 2020, 20:30:46
Thanks a lot , Natalia :)
But there is one unsave subject in your calculation.
e.g. You get a slot for sending a letter, but you can never be sure if this letter was really sent.

Gran trabajo;):)

Bravo !!!!!!
