[meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.

[Chris Peterson]

It may not be lost. Remember, there is no more unreliable delivery service 
than the Post Office. Their tracking systems don't work, they use marginal 
subcontractors, once something is in their custody it could be anywhere. 
Don't give up hope... it's more likely to simply be laying on the floor of 
some substation somewhere than to have been stolen. If so, it will show up 
one of these days.

Subject: [meteorite-list] Question about lost shipment and what to do.


Hi all, I shipped a priority flat rate box on Dec 6th and it was
scanned and left the Las Vegas sort facility on the same evening. Now
ever since it has just said it was in transit to its destination. I
did use a signature confirmation. The bad news is it is a meteorite
that I sold for several thousand dollars.......I know but it is too
late to register and insure the package. I am hoping there is some one
who investigates something like this because I don't think the item
was lost it was in a flat rate box, hard to miss that lying on the
floor. So if it is gone then I am guessing someone has stolen it.
Input would be helpful....and I guess the moral of the story  is
shipped expensive items insured and registered, they can go missig
even from state to state.
