Title: Zipper Limbs lost by USPS
Post by: Tyler C. Moore on November 04, 2011, 11:14:00 PM
6 months waiting, and I couldn't have been more excited when Bill shipped my 60'' 60#  Zipper carbon/foam core longbow limbs out. Here we are 2 weeks later and countless calls to helpless USPS people and I have been informed that my limbs " were in a sorting facility in PA on 10/31 and they MAY OR MAY NOT STILL BE THERE". I also was informed that the tracking number does not matter because " its a TUBE, and it cannot be machine processed."

I feel helpless, and worse that Bills hard work and amazing craftsmanship is sitting unappreciated and useless"SOMEWHERE"!!

Just a suggestion, see if Bill has pictures of the limbs. Go, or call your local USPS, ask for the postmaster, explain the problem and send him pictures. Their computers have more info than what we see online. He can file a report. It helped me.

Something may have happened to the shipping container, or to the address, and it may be sent to the center that handles lost, or undeliverable packages.

It is ALWAYS a good idea to include shipping info INSIDE,(Senders and receivers name, address, contents, phone no.'s), for this very reason.

Too bad!i had a box with arrows gone to Australia instead than Italy,it arrived 2 months later,anyway.
i think it takes 1 month before it is considered lost,be positive.
Good luck.
