starting to get ugly folx
kabar isn't in the business of lying about sending out a single package, it's not their style
if tracking wasn't purchased, you simply cannot verify anything about the shipping without going to USPS and asking them directly...
even with tracking, officially i believe, it takes up to 60 days to figure things out, and allow the package to settle out of their system.
so. what *I* would do, is interrogate the POBOX place. ask them, politely but firmly to search because the package is there, according to USPS, and clearly misplaced we call that social engineering
then, i would goto the main USPS office for that area, and lodge a "missing package", ask them specifically, in real time for the appropriate route information, who the driver might have been, and such things. it's possible that the package was rejected at POBOX and is being held at a given post office. ask them to look for you. as in "right now".
i'd probably also goto the local UPS depot, and inquire. if KaBar sent it by UPS, POBOX might have rejected it. completely. thus, they could be holding it, waiting for a timeout, and who knows.
the timeout is key. i had a package sit in a lingering locker for 3 months before "it was found". i did make a stink about the $500 insurance coverage, and rather than "pay it out", they found it
and that's about all i have to say, other than "man, that sucks"; if need be, a mod will harrass them for you, and/or do something about in the meantime if there's a complete failure.
Man, Im thinking the same thing on my patches. Sent envelopes 3 weeks ago. Still nothing.
I don't understand why they wouldn't offer at the very minimum a delivery confirmation number. Isn't it in their best interest to do so?
Delivery confirmation only works in CONUS. When you ship international, the only delivery the USPS makes is to the Canadian border. After that, its on Canada.

the package is being shipped to Washington though...he is crossing the border to pick it up...
Yup there is no international shipping. The only thing crossing the border is ME when I travel down there to pick it up. I'll be calling and badgering the PO box company today to find out if some new guy shoved it into a hidden corner or something. Sorry for the ranting guys, I don't mean to be taking it out on Kabar, I'm just frustrated and my patience has been worn out.
Thanks Moose, your reassurance is... reassuring lol. I'll be contacting Letterlock again, and then finding out what the nearest postal office it might have ended up at is. The one thing I'm hoping is that I can track it down before my Tomar's order is in so I just have to make one trip down to pick everything up. Not sure if that'll happen, but fingers are crossed. Thanks again for the support and info guys.
