    Nope, the Postmaster here in Edgefield and I did all the detective work and it was stolen in Miami. That is the big processing point for shipments originating in the southeast destined for the UKicon. The UK authorities were very helpful but there was nothing they could do since the package never left the CONUS. The Postmaster in Miami and Washington DC were useless and didn't really do anything to help. I lost a Mk.V Lee Enfield destined for Fultons too the same year thus ending my ITAR licensed USPS shipments to the UK. I will still ship books, small parts packages, (under $100 value), and accessories by USPS with the proper AES ITN which is a CBP lodging requirement for ALL gun parts leaving the USAicon. At least I can get good tracking on Priority Mail shipments but not 1st Class. As I've said before; FedEx, UPS, and DHL won't accept controlled/regulated shipments from the USA so the only option is airfreight via my excellent freight forwarder in Boston. This includes full insurance from Lloyds of London too upon request.
