Another beautiful cover ruined by a postal worker

I received this wonderful FDC cover from Ouari in Algeria, back in January of this year.
I just wanted to show you how frustrating it can sometimes be when untrained postal workers handle the mail.
Ouari, not only, took the time to make up this cover but he also took the extra precaution to send it by registered mail.
Final result, some idiot put the registration label right on the artwork of the cover. I carefully tried to remove it but believe me these labels are designed to permanentely stay on.
My thanks go out to Ouari with the recommendation to all interested in exchanging with me NOT TO send any covers REGISTERED.

Sometimes a cover makes it back home with only one cancellation

In a previous post I mentioned that some postal workers should be fired.
Here is an example of a cover that made it safely back home with only one postmark done on the first day of issue of one of the Canadian stamps for the IYA.
By some mysterious event this cover did not get any ugly mechanical cancellation even though it went through the same central postal distribution center as the other 2 shown previously.
Go figure!?!

Some postal workers should be fired

2 examples of covers ruined by unscrupulous postal workers!

As I mentioned I enjoy preparing covers, FDC's or others, with my own touch. Sadly enough you never know what will happen to them once they leave the post office.

Over time I developed a great relationship with Annick who is the postmistress where I go. She even lets me cancel my own envelopes.

As you can see below these 2 covers were cancelled on the first day of issue but unfortunately when they arrived at the main post office they were cancelled again with a different date and mechanically. What a shame!!
