Shame it has been lost, but good to hear you're getting a refund and that it wasn't passed on to the seller. Sounds like a pretty frustrating experience all-told though. Better luck with the next one!

AS far as I know the seller wasn't dinged for this. I haven't gotten a reply from them yet. I hope they don't dinged for this. It was global shipping's fault unless the seller occidentally used the incorrect postal code. Funny.... I went to the Canada Post office this morning and talked with the at the retail centre. He knows all about my situation with this package. I told him about the incorrect postal code. He says, doesn't matter about that, we don't use the postal codes when delivering. Really? Kinda funny.

That's true and not true. For the end delivery postal code really doesn't matter. (So for the guy behind the counter doesn't matter) However the postal code plays a major role in getting from the accepting po to the delivery po. If that number is wrong you end up with your type of case where you package is in a completely different part of the country.

I actually think you still have a 50/50 shoot of it ending up in your box one day. If the postal code is the only thing wrong someone may eventually figure it out and manually fix it and reload it into the automated system to be reroute to the correct po

The postal code was one active in my city. Made to my city, just not my mailbox. I do hope it shows up. If it does....WONDERFUL! If not, I got a full refund. I do hope if someone else does have it, they will be honest and return it. I'm just hoping some kid doesn't have it and thinks this is so cool to have uses it to do something dumb with it.

Here are 2 pics of the Boker 1056 I'm crying over......lol

Well wrong postal code or no ......... how did it get marked 'Delivered' if it had the wrong code ? Glad you were compensated, but that wrong postal code sounds odd. Could it be Canada Post trying to cover their own mistake ? Unless it finally turns up, we'll never know. We will always wonder 'Is it over there or over yonder?' .........

According to eBay it was labelled that way. Guess they pulled up the shipping info? I didn't go into all the details with her.... Had a little difficulty in hearing and understanding most of what she was saying. A wee bit of an accent she had.
