UPS lost my shipment with about $500 in material in it. Last scan was two weeks ago in Columbus OH.

My question is this…has anyone else had this happen and have the package eventually show up?

And then…should I start insuring scrap shipments?? Seems like I’d have a real challenge explaining value to a UPS rep, but in this instance I’m only getting $100 for my material bc I didn’t add insurance.

Back in college I used to sell stuff on ebay, over 1k packages mailed (although like 99% were via usps, only used UPS a handful of times). Of these shipments, I believe only two got lost in the mail ever. I opened a lost mail claim for each, both ended up delivering not long after.

I'm not sure how to go about addressing ups lost shipment, so hopefully superfly's suggestion is useful.

I did have a stacked pallet get separated and temporarily lost once but Chris called immediately after weighing and seeing the discrepancy. I called gorvenn (who offers shipping services for pallets on this forum) and he got on it. It was found at one of the depots and delivered shortly after.

Good luck!
