Your quilt is Beautiful!
Keep calling UPS, immediately have them open the case.
That is ridiculous to close the issue so soon.
Where was it being shipped from and to? Was it a long distance?
Their tracking usually indicates each stop it makes along the route. So what happened between the last stop and the destination. I have not had good luck with UPS recently. I have had to place claims on several items in the last two months.
One was a sewing machine that looked like it was dropped from the airplane to the tarmack. They paid for the service tech to check it out and the broken plastic cover and lost items in the storage compartment,,,some fell out when we opened the box. Last week we placed a claim on a weedeater. The entire box was open, both ends were open, all the small parts and paperwork were missing. Last month I ordered a large metal attachment to a miter bench, made of heavy steel. UPS did not ring the bell, but I saw him come to the door. Before I got there he was running to his truck....for good reason...the steel piece was poking through the torn box and was bent. It takes a lot of force to bend a heavy piece of steel. They picked it up and the manufacturer sent a new one.....I often wonder what happens to items that come out of boxes when they are trashed by UPS FED EX AND THE USPS.They just wind up in a Lost and found??? I think in the future I will pin my address, phone number and name to several places on my quilt...
I am praying for its safe return to you....Please let us know how this turns out. Don't give up. They have to find it.

Do not give up. I had a lost package with UPS, very, very expensive camera and accessories. As soon as I filed a claim the head of the security department arrived on my doorstep. Two men came in a black official looking car, I thought WOW! Amazing, after a few days they came back with my package! File the claim and contact the "Loss Department", they may be able to help you.

So sorry about your quilt. It's sad and must hurt to lose such a precious quilt. My son shipped 2 footlockers with his Army stuff, clothes, body armor etc. They were never found. All my husband fishing orders are either "lost" or open and empty, and no lures inside. Make a fuss with the "on you side" TV stations. I pray you get it back!!!

Janet, here is a link to a website that lists lost quilts (unbelievable how many there are!!!) You just never know who may discover your quilt and help to get it back to you safely. http://lostquilt.com/ I remember 2 different quilt shop owners telling me that they had display quilts stolen!! This is just unimaginable.

Several years ago i rec'd a package through UPS and the box was sort of messed up and taped when I open the box their was a VCR tape and a beautiful large linen tablecloth in the box with my things and I called UPS and told them that these items were not mine and they that they had no record of these items missed but if they did they would contact me never heard another word after several calls to them I gave up and watch the VCR (Good Movie) and about 3 years later I used the tablecloth at Christmas I felt back about you did not get their items but what could I do. Hope and Pray that you find your quilt I know that I would sick over something like that
