Regretfully, in cases like this there will be no details until the item is found (this is the reason I posted it here). the tracking info will only reveal it left point A and did not reach point B.

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.
