lost quilt
#71
I am so glad Sara got her quilt. I really felt for you because I mailed a QOV to a solder in San Antonio in Jan and still don't know if he received it. I had entered it in a contest and won 3rd place, after it hung in the library here for a month I mailed it to him in the military hospital there. The PO said it was delivered to him, but don't know for sure. I think he would have at least let me know it arrived. I sent two notes to the same address afterwards and still have heard nothing. So am hoping and praying it at least got to him. He was keeping up by posting on Caring Bridge regularly so thought he would mention getting it. Here's hoping I get as lucky as you. All prayers welcome. Jean Louisiana

The same thing has happened in our family twice. Once to a neice at the college dorm and just this last year to my daughter in North Carolina.
I will not mail quilts, etc. I do believe there is a system where the post office will hold it and the person receiving the quilt goes there and signs a paper.
I wonder how effective this is?

This is exactly the reason that I ALWAYS, after a couple
of losses like this, Always send it so it has to be signed for.
We spend way too much time, energy, love and money on
quilts and hand made items for them to be kept by less than
honest people.
I, myself, have had orders put on my porch, and when I got
home, it wasn't there and was never seen again.
Sign for it..only way to find out where it went and prove it.

I hope you do get your quilt back. Unfortunately, I had a very similar experience. I shipped my quilt via UPS. Unfortunately, it was misdelivered and not returned.
The lesson I learned from that experience is to have the quilt appraised and insured for the appraised value. Also, make sure the package requires a signature by the recipent. Make sure to get te tracking number and track the package via the internet.
I did get paid for the lost of my quilt. But, I had to go all the way to the CEO of UPS America to get paid.
I pray you have better luck.

Well Ladies, If any of you have a praying nature, I sure would appreciate it. I mailed the quilt a week ago, Priority Mail. According to the tracking it was delivered on Saturday at 10 am... I had the house number wrong by one digit!! The quilt never got to Sara!! Pray hard that someone will do the right thing and return it to me or track down 1731 Bollinger Rd, not 1730. I can't imagine I could live across the street from someone and not give them a mis-delivered package!!!!

It doesn't get any better than this. And the video was wonderful. That is the best reaction you could possible wish for in giving you handmade quilt to anyone let alone a granddaughter. I love that she looked at and read the label first. Wonderful!!!
