Sorry to hear that, a friend of mine has been selling sports cards and memorabilia for many years and he claims roughly a .5-1% loss rate through the usps. He says that for every 100 packages he sends out, 2 buyers claim to have never received a package. So probably 1 legitimate loss out of 100 is pretty bad. (he looses 3-10 packages a month, but they are all items worth under $5, so insurance or shipping through fedex/ups isn't worth it)


I agree ups or fedex. Sorry about your loss... I have had a package lost through usps, and after filling out a loss claim after 3 weeks of waiting (no insurance on the package) the package showed up a week later. So maybe you will get lucky and it will be found.
