Attention: Sam Lurquin MS Dagger Stolen

I had a package that I shipped to Germany come up missing.It made it where it was supposed to and the post office there said it was a bad address and could not be delivered.A few weeks later it turned back up at my house, I sent it to the exact address and it made it the second time.I hope it turns up Sam, it is truly a work of art!!
 
Everyone in the knife community is pulling for this to work out. I can only imagine what your going thru right now.



Beautiful Dagger

Hopefully it surfaces in time for the judging. It is an absolutely stunning dagger.
 
Any update on who the shipper is? USPS, UPS, FedEx, or other? Not that ANY of us can do anything. Sigh.

I'm guessing it's on hold in Customs. Customs apparently is an area outside of the shippers jurisdiction, so they lose contact. It's like a spaceship circling the backside of the moon. You hope it comes around....

Is anyone really sure it made it out of Belgium?

I am going to submit that Sam, with his CRAZY POWERFUL work ethic is figuring out MS test dagger Plan B. :thumbup:

How can his good karma allow this to happen? Not fair! :grumpy:

Keep us posted.

If it was shipped Fedex they should be able to tell the exact location.
(That was who was used for my knife that Claude shipped to me from Belgium)
Might just need to get on the phone and have them run a trace.
You can not count on the automated tracking for all the details.
Usually with a phone call you can find out what you need to know.
Sometimes the shipping label can get damaged and a phone call can get that fixed and the knife back on it's way.
 
Hang in there. My guess would be US Customs. I had two swords from William Nease that spent fourteen or fifteen days in the Chicago office before they moved back into the USPS loop and that was a little over a month ago. Thing about it is, the box was never inspected nor even opened by Customs, so why the amount of time is anyone's guess. Also, I was told that Customs is really cracking down on counterfeit merchandise and that's adding to their backlog even more. Interestingly enough however was a package mailed out of the country. It moved through the Miami office and spent a grand total of four minutes in customs according to USPS tracking. Apparently we're not too careful of what leaves the country, just what enters.

Just don't google the words "US Customs problems". The horror stories of sometimes months of waiting are legion. And inexcusable.
 
I guess I have been lucky. I have purchased several knives from overseas - mostly Europe, but also South America and Africa. Other than the one knife I mentioned earlier in the thread, everything else showed up pretty fast. In just the past couple of months I purchased a John W. Smith folder from a collector in Europe and it look less than a week from door to door.

Hang in there. There is still time!
