Lots of misinformation here. I do a lot of gc transactions via Kroger, in store and on-line, and even if you avoid the fee here, I'm not a fan of mailed Kroger gcmall deals:
1. Transactions via Kroger gc on-line are not processed as grocery purchases, so nope, no Chase or Discover 5x grocery category bonus. (other card spending bonuses, sure)
2. Fixed value visa or mc gcs DO count for 2x fuel points.
3. I actually stopped buying these, precisely because they take "forever" to arrive (often more than two weeks), often have wildly confusing and maddening validation procedures. (sometimes you'll get pin #'s sent separately, sometimes not -- sometimes the pin letters get lost), and yes, you're vulnerable to mail issues. (and yes, all too many reports lately of merchants NOT having your back if you don't receive what they can claim they shipped via untraceable USPS -- insidious. Kroger has not done THAT -- yet -- afaik)
4. That concern aside, and as pointed out by SPepper at GCGalore, it makes more cents to buy 2x100. (for the same shipping fee, $1.00, get more fuel points in same transaction.)

Wish I could do this but my mailman steals gift cards that I order.
EDIT: I have had two valuable pieces of mail go missing. At first I thought it was being stolen from my mailbox, but the second time I arrived at my mailbox right after it was delivered. I use USPS Daily Digest so I know what is coming.
Thanks to the suggestions, I have put in a report with USPS and the Inspector General. I already made a report to my local police department but after some suggestions in this thread, I reported it to the additional agencies.
