That really sucks Rob I hope it shows up somewhere what a bummer.

Rob, that sucks.

However, I wouldn't completely give up hope as about a year and a half ago I sold a card to Matt W. and it never arrived at his place and I refunded his money and all that... one year later Matt received the item in the mail and the envelope apparently looked like it had just been mailed. So there is a small chance that it is just stuck somewhere and it COULD get to its destination at some point, odds aren't great but it's possible.

I 2nd what Rhett said. I had the same thing happen - I sold a card, item 'lost', claim filed etc - then about 3 months later, the card arrived untouched... weird. Good Luck...

Rhett, Jon,

I agree. Twice in the past seven years I've had someone in my own state mail me something that took more than a month to arrive. I think the Joss eventually will arrive to its destination but wanted to post in case it has been hijacked.

It was actually 15 months - really, quite remarkable. I take it that it made the return trip much more quickly, correct?

Matt, Wait a minute, you sent it back to me!?!

Wanted to provide an update that today, nearly a month after it was mailed from central Ohio, the Joss arrived at its destination in Connecticut. The reason for the unusually lengthy journey? Insufficient postage in the amount of 34 cents.

Here are more details for those of you who use the USPS' self-serve machines:

On the same day I mailed the Joss, I also mailed a card to a board member in Honolulu. Both cards were in the same size SGC holders, both were packaged the same way in the same size envelopes. Using the scale on the USPS self-serve machine, the envelope to Honolulu weighed in at 3.7 ounces, the one to Connecticut 3.6 ounces. The amount of postage for first-class mail, as determined by the UsPS' machine, was $1.39 for each envelope. I bought the $1.39 stamps from the machine.

The card to Honolulu arrived in three days with no problems regarding the amount paid for postage. The card to Connecticut was deemed to have insufficient postage.

On a related note, when I mailed the four prizes for the board's NCAA Tournament contest -- also using the self-serve machine -- I was informed by two board members that their envelopes arrived with postage due. The other two envelopes arrived fine.

I think I'm done with the USPS self-serve machines. But I do look forward to our government being in charge of health care.
