Well, there is a little bit of good news but it has nothing to do with the lost Waki. I believe that one is gone and I doubt that insurance will pay, but we'll keep you updated.
I shipped out a replacement last Friday, via Express mail, I seriously had my concerns about this one arriving. However, I shipped it and waited, checked the tracking a couple of times and everyday the update was that it had been received at my local PO. I knew that with Christmas shipping going on that it was going to take a while and that most likely it wouldn't arrive in time for Glenn to give it to his son in the RAF who was currently home for Christmas. I was just hoping and praying that it would arrive. Well Glenn emailed me last night and said it arrived on their Christmas eve, and he had picked it up already. Yeah for the USPS
Glenn be sure and thank your son for serving.
Merry Christmas everyone.

The most recent happening is that I was contacted by Australia Post. They admitted responsibility for the loss. They have contacted the USPS and have informed me about a week ago to let Eric know not to wait for the mandatory 30 day wait to lodge an insurance claim. Now we have to wait to see how the insurance works out.

UPDATE:
As of last Saturday 8/7/2010 I received payment on the insurance claim I filed for this. Yippee!
It took somewhere around 8 months to get a payment on the insurance claim but not all of it was USPS's fault. I'm not exactly fast at filling out the paperwork needed, nor was I quick about filing my appeal (my first claim was denied). However, the good news is that the claim was paid and all is right with the world again
