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

[Gary Fujihara]

Aloha Mike,

Sorry to hear about your package going AWOL, but as everyone has already mentioned, there is hope that it will eventually arrive at its destination.  

FWIW, despite everyone's grim perspective of the USPS, I have found their service to be exemplary, especially when compared to UPS who gouge us in Hawaii and lose or damage packages on a seemingly regular basis.  Gotta also remember that its the busiest season of the year for the post office, who are operating under a constrained budget with less staffing than in years past.  Good luck getting your package to its destination Mike!
