No, MJP, no packages lost forever. We had one that got "stuck" in a CA city for a week, and a few others stuck in a town here in GA for a day or two, but nothing completely lost. I ran round robins for my former hobby, counted cross stitch. There the postage was only a couple of dollars because the pieces were comparatively small. The only problem I found is that my timeline wasn't always someone else's timeline. My stitching was a priority for me so I made sure I was always done on time. Others, well, not so much. But I would think if you or the host is familiar with the other participants of the RR, you've got a degree of comfort there.

I wonder if Givio required that participants give her their shipping number. I have to admit there is no way I'd be willing to make a complete quilt for someone. Janice have you ever had a package lost forever?
