You can also contact the company and find out who did the delivery that day and have them show you where they put it. It may have been too long for the driver to remember though. Very cool snakes by the way!
Quote:That is really cool! What are the snakes made out of?
Do you do those on commission?
Yes, they are made on commision. They are 99% apoxie, with a tiny bit of sculpy in the heads.
I contacted Jet Hardware, the place that had the package shipped originally. The lady there wasn’t particularly nice. She seemed quite irritated and got very snappish when I told her “I KNOW UPS tracking says it was delivered the 18th at 11:35 am, but the buyer never got the package!” I finally got her to agree to look into the matter, which hopefully they do. She seemed to think that maybe it was left near the buyer’s house and that the buyer just hasn’t found it yet. Unlikely, IMO. That box was over a foot and a half long in all directions, and it would have had to of been sitting in the guy’s yard unfound for 2 weeks now. A blind person couldn’t miss it! I will give Jet Hardware a couple days, then call back if I haven’t heard anything. I don’t hold much faith in the lady who answered my call.
EDIT: The lady called back, much nicer this time, thankfully. She said they have had a trace innitiated on the box. She asked what was in it, and we got into a short discussion on the snake sculptures I make. It could be up to a week though before anything is found out, so its the waiting game again…
Oh happy day!!! UPS found my package and it was succesfully delivered to the buyer’s house. Buyer liked the snakes so much that he has decided to order some more!
*happy dance*
I am shipping USPS next time.
No idea where they found it. All I know is that a week after calling to complain, the package showed up on the buyer’s doorstep.
Yay! And beautiful snakes, btw! (Are you going to up your commission price now? Or are you getting faster at making them?)
I’m no faster at making them, but I am raising the commision price a little on the non-hatching babies. Hatchers are still $40-45, but the others will be between 80 and $100 now. They are just so darn hard to paint!
I’m so glad the package was found and all ends well! Makes you wonder where UPS or the store put the box 🙄
Those snakes are so neat!
That’s great!
Do be warned that USPS is just as prone to losing packages. My air compressor for my air brush was MIA, tracking said it was delivered, but we never got it. After a week and a half of phone calls to the post office, the person it was errorenously given to came by the Post office and dropped it off. She’d been on vacation, or it would have turned up sooner.
Reason it wasn’t delivered to the right house? Mail person went by Name on the box, instead of Address, and even then the name they thought they read on the box was not the name of the folks they dropped it off to. Our carrier isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, I’m telling you.
