Mate! Plenty of time yet for that to turn up, I wouldn’t refund yet.

Is it not up to him to track it down his end? Obviously with your assistance

Good luck

That sucks. I bought a 69 with nkt275 transistors from a shop in Finland early December,
then it checked in UK on January 3rd for an unknown reason and then arrived an empty box in Greek customs on January 7th.

The shop refunded me obviously.

I’ve sent dozens of pedals from Finland to US with UPS and had zero problems. One time a buyer wanted cheaper alternative so I shipped with normal post service. When it arrived to US USPS ping ponged the package between parcel centers and eventually lost it. It was missing for four months but then it just came back to me one day. Never again. UPS is tad more expensive but their insurance is also fairly cheap. Don’t know how big of hassle it is to get your money back if something goes south with UPS but luckily that hasn’t happened yet.

It’ll probably turn up but what the hell is wrong with USPS, I use FedEx, UPS, DHL these days, I’ll only use Royal Mail when sending inside the UK

I've had two packages recently that missed being scanned. I freaked as well and opened a claim on one of them. But they both arrived just some days later ... One was 5 days late and the other was 1 week late. This is with priority mail USPS.

Remain calm if you can. Good practice in patience/zen
