Post Office chairman Stu Peters says the organisation has spent almost £15,000 compensating people for lost parcels in the last two years.
He faced a question from Douglas North MHK John Wannenburgh about tracked postal items which went missing.
Mr Peters said in the last two years, a total of 148 tracked items had gone missing.
And the Post Office paid £6,360 in compensation last year, down on the previous year's £8,610 total.
