Two Idaho Aquamarines

Greetings, Well my best buy of Tucson were two Idaho Aquamarines. Both were repaired near the terminations but they were Deep Electric Windex blue and the luster was incrediable. They put to shame the pinky size one at the convention center in the USA display. By far the nicest Aquas I have ever seen for color and luster.

Around 8x1 cm and the smaller one was around 6cm in length.

I sent these two killers to Sandor Fuss to get repaired by the best in the business and they got delivered somewhere in the vincity, but not to Sandor.

I filed a report to the postal Police and am in the waiting game now. They were delivered to ????? on March 6, 08.

If anyone finds them or hears about them please contact me. $300 dollar reward for the return...

And Never use USPS and not insure your items. This is a lesson to all.
Fed-x is the right choice and worth the extra cash..

Hey Ray

I found out the hard way Fed Ex will not insure rough stones USPS is the only service that will. You can always have a 3rd party insure them.


Good luck

For something like 65 or 85 cents you can buy Delivery Confirmation that will provide the exact date and time..down to the minute...that your package was delivered. I've used USPS for hundreds of parcels and never insure them unless the customer absolutely insists and have never had a problem. I mailed out a major Chinese aqua to a guy and he e-mailed after a week that it never arrived and again after two weeks that it never arrived. Turns out it was in his daughter's bedroom--she had grabbed the mail nearly two weeks previously and never told anyone and left it all in her room!
Use Delivery Confirmation and, if you're still worried about its arrival, pay a bit extra and get Signature Confirmation that will show you online the person's signature that signed for the parcel. If your rocks are this good, a couple of dollars is a very small price to pay.

I had delivery Conformation and filed a postal police report and the mailman insisted that he delivered it to a lock box and rechecked it and it ws not there. Delivery Conformation did'nt help. Use Fed-x.. Post office is run by the Goverment, and has no idea what is going on.

But at least the postal service will eventually cough up the money for expensive insured items. Fed Ex and UPS are happy to charge you extra money if you declare a high value, and let you *think* it's insurance, but when you try to actually make a claim you'll find out it's not really insurance and they aren't liable. Had this discussion before with several full-time mailorder dealers and the majority prefer to go with the postal service for this reason, in spite of its faults. FedEx and UPS do indeed operate more efficiently, but they mislead you on the insurance question; you'd have to get your own insurance, separately, a time-consuming bother.

We have sent hundreds of packages through the post office with only a small fraction being lost or damaged.
Claims are always paid. I see ups and fed-x dropping packages at the post office all the time. I ask the postal people about this and they say that ups and fed-ex do it on a regular basis.Go figure.
