That is terrible!

At least the USPS did their part. I guess that is good for them?

Did insurance cover it?

Well that sucks, big time!! I hope the insurance will cover the monetary loss. I hope you will keep us informed as to what happens next.

As an update......tomorrow makes 6 weeks. I received an email from my help request. The last scan was 7/5 in the Baltimore plant but has not yet arrived in the delivery unit. So it has been right here in Baltimore for about a month waiting to get to the delivery unit.

Six weeks, a month of that in Baltimore?

I hope for the best. Good luck!

I will probably bring down the wrath of the numismatic gods by saying this, but 2021 continues to be OK for me for packages coming from abroad.

Hold onto your seats for this one ... last week I received on Friday (7/31) in Ohio a package that had been entered into the system in Vienna on Sunday afternoon, 7/25!

Days in transit for my last six registered letters from Europe (covering packages originating in Poland, Germany, Lithuania, Austria): 8, 9, 8, 15, 13, 6.
(presumably all routed far away from Baltimore ).

You said it aloud. Never say it aloud!

This screenshot says that the parcel was sent on June 21, there are no updates after June 22. I don't even know if she left the United States. What is this for......
I want to get my coin

The Post Service announced that rates will be going up and mail delivery will "start" to slow down. The worst service I have seen is on items I order out of Illinois.

My last three silver purchases were stolen from the U. S. Mail.
I no longer order or make deals for silver that has to be delivered.
A sad statement on Today's Postal service.

I find it odd that a thread about a government entity receives more views and replays to threads that have to do with genuine numismatic interests. I thought politics was off limits here. Perhaps a new forum should be created for mailing problems. Sorry, I do not understand the massive response to off topic exchange. While my and others inquiries get no or few responses. So this is the hot topic?

How does the post office sucking have anything to do with politics?

Well, plenty, but we have all done well to keep it out of this discussion.

Tomorrow will make 8 weeks since a shipment of coins was mailed from Hungary and over 6 weeks since it arrived at the Baltimore Plant but just has not made it to the delivery unit. I talked to a customer service rep and she said to put another help request in which in turn re-opens the one I put in about 3 weeks ago. Let's see what happens.
