This report is concerning the user: Godsized
Total elapsed time since last contact: Two weeks (close to three)


My location: USA
Godsized location: UK

Over the past 1-2 months I've had a Swap Shop post with various Warmahordes items for trade/sale.

On Jan. 28th 2012, I received a pm from Godsized concerning the Legion army I had posted, along with the remaining Circle of Orboros figures. In return, Godsized offered a large collection of 40k items, some FW kits, some assembled but mostly everything was NOS.

On Jan. 29th 2012, we came to an agreement over what would be traded (we decided to go retail price for retail price) which amounted to $550 worth of Warmahordes (all of the Legion listed along with the remaining Circle) for: Zhufor, 2 x CSM squads, Khorne Termies, Baneblade, 1 Cadian Command Squad, 1 x Cadian squad, Winged Tyrant, 1 x FW Ripper Swarm, 2 x Warriors,1 x Carnifex which also amounted close to $550.

Over the course of the next week, Godsized and I attempted to work out a shipping date that worked for him (he was dealing with a flu-ridden family). We finally agreed on Feb. 5th to ship on the following day, Feb. 6, a Monday.

That was the last communication I'd received from Godsized. I've attempted multiple email contacts and PMs. Unfortunately I didn't get his phone number (a mistake I will not repeat in the future). I understand that life has it's way of destroying well-laid plans, believe me. But two weeks without so much as a burp?

Using my customs form I was able to track it through the USPS site and the last update was Feb. 15th with the note - Payment of charges - Item being held, addressee being notified. Which raises the argument that he may not have time to ship/pick up the items. But without any communication, I can't make that call.

I dislike having to do this, but if it results in some sort of communication from this person or even a resolution, then it's worth it.

That's great. Just great.

I knew this was too good, it always is. Guess I learned to do my homework from now on.


So to get the items back, as they're still at the post office, how do I go about doing this? The USPS site has nothing in the way of telling me what location it's at. I only have the guy's address.

Frankenberry, I'm sorry to hear this- but if it's still at the post office, maybe there is a chance of retrieval. Hopefully others can post about that, if knowledgeable.

I'm going to lock this thread, and put a note in the other about this. It would probably be helpful for you to copy and past your first post from here into that thread, along with the question above.
