Best thing to do is communicate with the swap partner and decide what to do. Be clear that postage errors do occur and you could try and resend a similar package or call it quits. It's a sting...but it has got to be a mutual decision.
Communication is the key here. When I was quite new to Numista, I swapped some coins. The swap partner insisted I sent first. He never received my coins. Looking back I lost many silver threepences and a £5 coin; but I think he didn't receive them...there was probably a problem my packaging. I learnt the hard way...the swap partner did not rate the swap...and I didn't rate him. I was cross with him and he was probably cross with me: but now I think that is why I've got better at swapping and packaging. Communication is the important bit.
Yep, Same for me Bam, I lost a package to poor packing, I could hear a slight jingle when I shook it but I thought it would be OK, that was $55 in coins.
The best thing to do is to wait, some times it take two months to get places.
Where did you send it and how long ago was it?
Taking a break from swapping for a while, but still interested in pre 1799 Spanish coins, I will make time for that!
I have an apartment mailbox center with a separate USPS outgoing mailbox receptacle. I deposited 7 packages of coins to 7 different people in seven different States. The next day USPS Tracking showed they were delivered to my own apartments address within minutes of being picked up and scanned by my mailman. Have any idea what my Ebay customers thought about that? What a mess.
Same mailman month later. Another no-show on USPS Tracking site. Three weeks and a lifetime of frustration later the local Post Office mngr. calls to tell me he had a call from my mailman who went out early that morning, on his own time, and 'discovered' my package in the out-going mailbox. He said he couldn't imagine how it could have been over-looked all those 20 plus days later.
I finally found out why this guy still had his job... the mailman's Father is the Post Master... lol
