Overseas Shipment Lost - Advice

Just an update. Looks like this package FINALLY made it to the UK after a worldwide side tour. Keep in mind this was shipped out from the US on February 25th. 😕
At least it looks like it’s finally on its way:

I hate to say this. I wouldn't and don't trust USPS with anything. Private companies do a much better job than government run organizations.

Case in point - I have had multiple packages delivered to my condo building which never get marked as delivered by USPS, yet I have them in my hand. If I were unscrupulous, I would contact the seller and say "never received, refund please".

My own personal code of ethics with this kind of thing: I am the seller and it is my responsibility to get the package into the buyers hands. If it gets lost then that is my fault and I owe them (unless you agreed anything else different up front).

But really glad it's in the UK now! Hopefully this one gets resolved positively... I had one like this where the package disappeared, I got a refund and it turned up 6 months later!

Glad it arrived! I'm in California and sending something to someone in Texas via USPS and the tracking currently says the item is in Puerto Rico. Looks like USPS overshot the destination by some margin...

It did officially arrive today and buyer confirmed receipt and no damage. February 25th - May 11th. Over 2 1/2 mo.!

Glad it finally made it - that's officially the last time I'll ship USPS with anything of substantial value.
