Quote:I\'ve shipped maybe over 1000 times since 1995....even animals overnighted. I\'ve very rarely had a packaged delayed and never lost. Maybe .5% is something significantly delayed. There\'s no reason to swear off shipping just because of something random like this.i got to agree.....i received packages from everywhere in the world and never have problems at all

I feel horrible for VF 31, as I have been victim to this as well, but I very well understand Super Dan\'s point.
The same argument could be made for car accidents. Just cause you get in one fender bender, hell even a major fender bender, doesn\'t mean many people swear off ever riding in a car again.
I hope something positive happens in your life in the next few days so you forget all this mess.

The postal service is generally reliable but they have their moments where they absolutely blow. Adam mailed me a mask priority mail and it took 12 days to arrive...great service...........................Larry

Sorry to hear that Steve, hope you get your stuff soon.

Sorry to hear what happened Steve.
I\'ve had problems myself but nothing is perfect and it\'s going to happen at least once.
Good luck and I hope they find your stuff.

Bad luck Steve but if i can throw my opinion in as a seller that ships all over the world regularly, communication is the key between seller and buyer.
You got to get the sellers to use a decent service and make sure they do, any seller charging you $30 for a 4-10 day service and then shipping out for a $10 should be ashamed of themselves and i think this can be a big problem with overseas deliveries, packages on less expensive shipping can take over 4 weeks to reach their destinations and people paying with paypal can apply for a refund for non delivery of their package from the seller within 45 days.
When i post out within the uk or ship world wide i now use a \'sign for service\' i don\'t cost much more and every time it gets to a depot or is handled by any postal worker THEY have to sign that they have handled it which stops packages being \'lost or damaged\'
When it reaches its destination it has to be signed for by the buyer so there\'s no \'it didn\'t get here\' b/s.
In my mind there is no point risking a cheaper shipping service, pay a few more $\'s and everyone is protected.
Sellers should always get a tracking number or signed for service when shipping overseas to protect themselves and to protect the customer.
Buyers should always ensure they get their shipping number or tracking number.
It seams like a load of hassle but i tell you from experience that as a seller sending a package out for it to get \'lost or damaged\' or not turn at up at all is heart breaking all the hard work for nothing, gone and possibly having to pay back the buyer as well and as a buyer having your package not turn up and trying to convince the seller your not trying to con him aint fun either!
Just remember if your going to ship, ship safe.

I hear you bud, i have had some problems recently, i use international signed for, and a package i sent has been stopped at customs and is on its way back, no reason given, and the jobsworth on the post office line can\'t help till it gets back in this country.
So it makes you look bad, and deliverys in this country too, i sent 2 special delivery items this week next day delivery, and they didnt show for two days, most the post office will do is refund the postage, still again looks like you didnt send it when you said you would.
So i too feel like ramming a running chainsaw up the post offices butt!
