The same can't be said through other auction houses.....right now, I am dealing with a "lost" package that I won through Heritage Auctions. An item I wanted really badly for a new set that I planned on completing....

So you are saying it's Heritage's fault it got "lost" in the mail? I understand wanting something badly but unless Heritage was hand delivering it, then I am not sure I understand your post?

I'm not sure if Heritage officially handed it to the Post Office. It is my understanding from the Post Office, it was supposedly on a bulk skid of 157 packages. Each individual package was not scanned. The scanned a ledger claiming what was on the skid. So techncially, there is no proof the package ever made it onto the skid.....

..granted, I have never had a problem with Heritage before. But this was BY FAR the best deal (according to VCP average selling price) I ever won from one of their auctions. It also ironically happens to be the one that I look like I won't be getting.....

No doubt it's a conspiracy by the Post Office, since that is who you got your info from. I am sure they tell folks stuff all of the time to try to cover their tracks....

True....I do hope it turns up, but I am not very optimistic....at least it is insured thru Heritage! I hope everyone has a HAPPY THNKSGIVING!!!

Well, I know one thing...I sure don't like that packages can be scanned in bulk on a skid. I'd prefer that each individual package was scanned in.

Too time consuming I guess......shoot, I am lucky if my postal clerks give me an "acceptance" scan when I hand them an item!

I will bet that what they meant (and I haven't confirmed this) is that they had all of the individual packages on a pallet. They were individually addressed and tagged (DC, Sig Confirm., etc...) The postal person picking them up took a hand scanner and scanned each one on the pallet. I used to do a ton of shipping and that is the way it was done. I would find it very, very difficult to believe that there is some sort of "bulk" system that the PO uses and scans a whole pallet of individual packages, going to different places, at once. How in the world could they track anything that way? Then again, maybe I am missing something here. Hopefully the package will get found. I am sure every single auction company has had to deal with a lost package or two....best regards and Happy Turkey Day....(poor turkeys)
