Popular Post Michaelr Posted August 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Posted August 19, 2021 Good morning all, and yes it is a good morning. A couple weeks ago I posted my concerns about a recent Tanto purchase being stolen while in the care of the USPS. Well it arrived yesterday safe and sound. I want to thank all of you here that responded with their support. I also would like to thank the seller Volker from Germany for the great transaction, the extraordinary packing and the follow up with me and DHL. Let me say to others that may end up in the same situation, Don’t Give Up, Stay On The Shipper, Don’t Except that they Can’t Find Your package and close your case. I filed 5 claims on this package with the USPS. I had the claims expedited two times. During all of this the USPS sent me Two emails stating that they were sorry but my package was untraceable and lost. I then reopened my claims and made two calls to Consumers Affairs and filed claims with them. During this time Volker was also in touch with DHL. I believe that if we didn’t stay on the USPS and had accepted that they Couldn’t Find It I would have never received it. I still believe in being Pro Active in cases like this, when something doesn’t look right or feel right, get on it right away. If you feel it may be missing post pictures here so that all the good people can be on the look out for it if it should surface and most of all DO NOT EXCEPT THE SHORT ANSWERS THAT IT IS JUST LOST. Stay on it and push it. Again thank you all for your support, thank you Volker for the sale and all your help. I am Now the Proud New Caretaker of a beautiful blade that has finally found its way to its new home. MikeR 12 4 Quote

PNSSHOGUN Posted August 19, 2021 Report Posted August 19, 2021 For high end items maybe using the apple airtag to have double tracking could be of use? 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted August 19, 2021 Report Posted August 19, 2021 There has to be a lesson in there for everyone! Congratulations, and we can all breathe easier. Quote
Volker62 Posted August 19, 2021 Report Posted August 19, 2021 Thank you!!! Michael is not necessarily my favorite name, when it comes to Japanese swords, but my help was more than self evident, after all, it is my duty as a seller not to leave everything to my self after receiving the money, but to help with problems! Thank you for your trust Michael All the best, stay safe! Perhaps we can deal something in the future again! 2 Quote

Curran Posted August 19, 2021 Report Posted August 19, 2021 When we lived in New Jersey and especially near Philadelphia, we often had to stay on top of USPS. Packages went missing enough that we would get the Postal Inspectors involved. It helps if it is above a "Felony" level value like $1500 or so. Quote
Surfson Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 Volker is a friend and I have bought and sold swords from and to him. He is also a true expert on shrine swords from Yasukuni and Minatogawa. Good to see you on here Volker! 2 1 Quote
