there are so many times people have sent me things and ive not received them. they'll assume as ive not said anything that its arrived ok (and presumably that i'm just ungrateful), and if i know someone's sending something but not when they're sending it i don't like to contact them asking if they've sent it because i've not received it in case they've not sent it and feel i'm being ungrateful and nagging. see i can't win here!
on the other side, if i've sent things to people and they've not mentioned it, i don't like to ask if theyve received it for fear of appearing i'm prompting thanks.
i have an ex colleague who used to work for royal mail some time before he came to be working with me. he advised never to send anything in a package that will 'roll' (likely to be used as a football) or anything that could double up as a sword / lightsabre.
