Sometimes things get lost in shipping. You could remind people of the scenes in Castaway where the FedEx plane goes down with Tom Hanks, and the volley ball (becomes his best friend Wilson), ice skates (he uses one to remove his infected tooth), and other stuff don't get delivered.  Planning for shipping problems is part of supply chain management - you can't prevent a plane crash, but you can insure your shipments and you can track them to be on top of whatever goes wrong.

This is like asking why do they call it a "building" when its already built :P \n\nTo try to answer this question, lets look at the definition of word "terminal" . One of the meanings of terminal is "Of, at, relating to, or forming a limit, boundary, extremity, or end. " So the word signifies the end of a delivery route (which is again a meaning of the noun form of the word)\n\nWell, an airport is then seen as an end point of a communication route. (an end point thats used as both start and end points of journeys). \n\nThough yes, in the spirit in which this question has been asked, flying has never been safe enough. I wish you safe and happy jouenys at all "terminals".

I will give you answers, but you must reciprocate.  So before I answer, here's MY question for you -\n\nWhy does a telephone pole?\n\nNow about plane seats.  Don't you realize that parachutes make you float?  That "floatation device" IS a parachute - and not in drag.  If it was in drag, it would have drag lines and then everyone would know what it is!\n\nAnd if you are taking shipments around in your car, then I think some DEA guys will be looking for you.  But of course everyone knows that the only car that could POSSIBLY handle a shipment is one that is so big everyone calls it a "boat"!  \n\nShips carry cargoes so that the worthless second cousin of the ship owner, traveling for free and doing nothing, can be called by the imposing title of "supercargo."  This saves the owner of the ship a lot of money because at sea the useless relative can't borrow the Ferrari, and smash it up and leave it to collect a bizillion dollars in parking tickets.  So, that means the car goes and the supercargo does too.  Get it?\n\nJeez, I gotta do EVERYTHIING myself around here!

It means that the mail is tracked all the way to the person who recieves it.  And it has to be signed for when delivered.  It costs more than regular mail.  Yes, just go to the PO and ask for it, they'll have a label for you to fill out.

Depends on where it occurred, It is only an offense so long as it is in transit. Once you receive it, it is no longer considered "mail" for legal purposes.

Freight forwarding involves larger shipments to greater distances, usually LTL or less than trailer load. Although some messengers and couriers do handle freight and make long distance runs, the act of doing such is really freight forwarding. Freight forwarding also usually entails picking the shipment up and taking it door to door rather than from manufacturer to depot.

How big is your order. If it is a conatainer, no they will not. If it is a loose shipment, they will inspect it, causing a delay of maybe 1 day. Of course if there is something illeagl it will be stopped. Also if you B/L and or Packaging Papers are not up to par this will also delay the process. Finally beware of packing, if the crates are made of wood which isn't either smoked or processed they will be stopped!

The guy at work is right. It's much more common to say "move your car" (which implies moving it from one place to another) than it is to say "remove your car" (which essentially means vanishing it).
