    I'd be curious to hear others. I know it may be off-topic, but dang. I thought it was bad when I moved and mailed my stuff across the U.S. Atleast I did insure one box, which they NEVER found and it had two porcelein dolls in it worth 500 a piece. Imagine that :/

    well i received packaging yesterday with nothing in it. the package was stamped "received without contents at" and there was not one thing in it. it was one of those poly envelopes. not sure if it was the seller not sealing the envelope well or something happened in transit. contacted the seller and they are willing to send a replacement.

    who knows whats going on with the mail service now. my 3 sp boxes were delivered in two days to various parts of the country (W, NW & Midwest) but i could have mailed them some other day and it would have taken nearly a week to get delivered. go figure.

    Krystyna~ I hope you know where the employee lives so you can go retrieve your machine if necessary You are toooo funny telling her the dog didn't like her! I can see it now, you two will be exchanging goods and money on the front porch and the neighbors will be wondering what is going on over there haha

    That sewing machine is the one I started my business with, so yes, I know where to find her. More or less. Her new husband is one of my old fishing buddies. (And come to think of it, I loaned him a pole and he broke it!) My neighbors no longer "wonder" about me. That went out the window after they saw DH and I stomping grapes on the porch, LOL!

    That is hilarious.

    And yeah, I don't think I would have gave her my machine.

    Your kidding right??? That is terrible..I have heard some terrible stories about the PO and what is going on with some of the packages that are being mailed..One happened to my daughter..She mailed a package to her Nephew across the states and they destroyed it..Took things out, broke the lava lamp and took apart the other stuff that was in it..and broke most everything..The packages inside the box were individually wrapped ..They unwrapped each one..and than threw everything back into the box and put duct tape on it and left it just like that on their front porch..
