			What are the details? How did it go missing? Was it going overseas? Do you have the tracking info?

			I've been mailing and receiving swords for years, not a single one went missing or was damaged by the USPS. Last year I had a sword go missing for 3 months, en route from the US to Australia. One telephone call to the USPS solved the problem. They initiated a claim and located the sword, which was stuck in Australian Customs.

			Dmitri, we've done the same and more, including the claim. No further information was found by USPS. My best advice is: insure high value items and avoid sending during holiday season.
