I sent about $2K worth of parts out to be machined. They were machined, all done and life was good. On the return trip the damn box vanashed, POOF, gone, hasn't been scanned since the 20th. This was my grail gun build. I am devastated...

Update #1. (3/16/18) One month still missing, no calls, emails, communication, nothing

Update #2. (4/16/18) Two months still missing. Still absolutely nothing from usps...

Update #3. (5/16/18) three months still missing. Insurance claim denied. Literally nothing from usps.

You have your expectations set about exactly where they should be.

USPS insurance is just a joke, seriously.

I always ship UPS insured.

Biggest order was 14k worth of parts. I very nearly drove them to CA myself.

I hope your parts turn up, man.

I have called both the shippers PO and my PO. Myself and the shipper have also filled out a lost pkg form with USPS...

Is there anything else I can do?

I wouldn't lose faith. I buy/sell a lot and as of the past couple weeks its been increasingly bad. I am at a 100% rate of USPS delaying packages both incoming and outgoing (some with and some without scans). I had one go as long as THREE MONTHS without a scan then magically was back in the system and delivered.

I think you just hit some bad timing with USPS. I am not using them for at least a month until their new trend clears up. If I was you I would be pissed but not worried. It will show up.

USPS doesn't pay even with insurance. They suck so hard. Lost a FAL kit I sent to cali once and refused the insurance claim. Lucky for me the kit finally showed up abou a month late.

Good luck.

It has been a few years so I don't remember all the details, but it scanned someplace in CA. then no more tracking. The guy I sent it to emailed me because he never got it. I had to wait like a month to file a claim and when i did they denied it. I was about to refund the buyers money when out of nowhere he wrote and told me the box showed up. It was well over a month for them to deliver.

Had some stuff that tracked from sellers to sending post office, no tracking/in transit messages for 15 days.  Suddenly appeared on tracking in a towns post office 30 mi away.  Then took 3 days to make it to post office here.

Yes, with pics (of damage) & print outs of the sale price (ebay ad) it took about 2 weeks for the check.

Without some documentation it’ll be hell.

Personally, I never use USPS unless it is absolutely necessary. I use UPS, they are quick and efficient, but it sometimes cost a bit more.

My co ships approx 100 packages a month thru USPS...as of last month , maybe a bit longer, they have been having melt downs left & right and tracking can be seriously jacked up. I know this is no comfort, but you're not alone, I have stuff that was sent & to be received at my shop, that show tracking everywhere but where they were supposed to be. A recent order shipped to Canada (north of my pos, by a few hundred miles, showed tracking south to Calif, then east to Kansas..I kid you not)
Your package may well may turn up at some point, with little or no warning/updates on the tracking, that happens alot lately.
I have had some luck, physically going to the post office, speaking with the post master and requesting a "trace", this does two things, the most important of which, will live-que up the tracking on that parcel, so it will (should) show where it currently is in the system (last depot hit, etc). Its not 100% successful, but it has helped us in the past, retrieve/locate missing parcels.
FWIW, anything over a few hundred $$, we always send fedex, fully insured, with del. signature..have never had an issue them thus far. I also know, ground packages are handled much differently than air/next day air, etc...as in, ground gets the shit treatment.
USPS & UPS - umm, sadly, both suck.
Good luck brother.

Hell, I was tracking a package that I sent back home to Hawaii and it wound up in Oregon and it go re-route to the correct address.  Still, I have no idea how USPS screwed that one up.

Sucks on your package being lost.  I would love to see how your build would have gone.
