This is the USPS you're talking about :shrug: They rarely lose things, but they are good about misplacing them for awhile.
I hear you, I have two proirity pacages out over two weeks at the moment... I hate when they loose stuff.
If there is a tracking number you can check if it was dropped off (possably wrong address) or if it's still in the system.
It's not uncommon for these things to take a couple weeks. It all depends on how many hubs it goes through and so on. Hope it arrives in the next couple days.
"Hey, hey - we are the government!" - quoting an unknown USPS worker when a customer got worked up and started insulting the services in a somewhat loud voice :roflmao I think the postal worker would have gladly thrown the customer in prison for treason, lack of patriotism, or at least insulting a government official on duty, whateverQuote:

I once mailed an antique Pocket Watch (it was a real museum piece,) to a Watch Shop, for cleaning. It was Insured and I asked for Registered Mail shipping. I paid extra for the box to have to be signed for, EVERY TIME it changed hands. It NEVER arrived. I had to submit a lot of receipts and a letter (on their letterhead,) from the Shop and practically stand on my head. It took me about four months to get the Insurance Settlement. I would have much rather got my watch back! The USPS acted like I had tried to defraud them. I have NO respect for the USPS, or any of their employees.
Since the box was signed for at every turn, it should have been an easy task to find where it disappeared. To my knowledge, it never surfaced.
I wish you good luck.
Ack!!! I think I'm BLIND!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd try to avoid mailing a museum piece of anything with USPS. I have also heard that it's hard to settle payments with it, unlike with the other commercial shippers (who charge more for shipping, though)
In my opinion, an item worth $100 needs to be insured when shipped :shrug:

Like it or not the fact is USPS Registered mail is the most secure way to send things of value. Items worth tens or thousands of dollars are routinely shipped that way.
I have quit using UPS entirely. Their prices are high and their service has slipped way down. DHL and USPS is really giving them a run for their $$. That could be one reason for their decline. No longer the big "Brown".Quote:

Sometimes I really hate doing sales on-line... need to find stuff here in the bay area...
Crapp!
I had a seller send my very nice razor to the wrong buyer. However, the guy sent it to me :y (even though the razor he was supposed to receive was like 1/4 of the value of my razor)
Yah, this doesn't help you - just meant to say that there are nice guys out there.
Look at it from a different perspective - it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. Just enjoy your razors and know that your day will come on ebay if you are persistent.

I have been lucky on a few ebite buys, and know thats true. Tomorow I'll be ok, I'm just steamed at the moment because I've been itching to get this one for almost 2 weeks, plus the preminition of something going wrong, that didn't help...
Looks like you are going to be one up on me as far as tails of razor shipping woes. According to the post office tracking number It is due to be delivered today. Sorry to hear about you losing your nice razors though.
Hmm... the tracking information says that it left the Federal Way procesing center in Washington June 19. That is only a couple hours from here and I have not got the razor yet. This is concerning.
I have been pretty lucky so far with my razors and the mail. Every one but my very first were mailed via post..
I do have a good one though. I mailed a razor to Vlad to have him put custom scales on it. It took like it seemed forever to reach him in Canada. However he wrote and said it had finally arrived only to be followed up a week later by a post telling me his wife accidentally threw it away still in the box.. lol Of course he being the great guy that he is he replaced it with a Vlad restoration. While I loved the lost one the Vlad original is super. He sent it back via post and I began to worry on how long it took but low and behold it finally showed up. Sending through the post is always an adventure.
Hah I got it. It was the only thing sitting in the mailbox apparently I missed it earlier or something. Looks pretty nice. Gotta give it a whirl tonight.
Glad to hear this. It was high time for you to have some nice experience
Me - not so lucky... The tortoise shell-scaled razor seems to have been lost :cry:
Cheers

damn sorry to hear it. That was quite a hone job. I did rather well with it and I did not even strop the razor. Usually The razor is dull by halfway through the shave.
