Lost or Stolen - Rotary Baritone

Post by Mithosphere »

Sent a Maestro brand Chinese rotary baritone (silver plate, 4 valves, missing the thumbring) to a guy out East. At the Nashville greyhound station it went missing. It’s either lost or stolen, so be on the look out. If something pops up let me know. Thanks!

A close friend is the would-be recipient (and I suspect that it will eventually surface, per typical Greyhound "twilight zone" episodes).

(...and he probably decided to get it from you after tooting on my M-W/Melton kaiser bariton.)

When he told me (early on) that it was being shipped via Greyhound, I was surprised (based on the not-huge size) that it was not being shipped via UPS/FedEx ground.

' no scolding/chiding here... :smilie8: :cheers: ...but encouragement...

Again: I suspect that it will re-appear from the GPX netherworld, eventually.

I also know that - if it does arrive - the intended recipient (a good guy) will reinstate payment.

Insurance. I need to go through the claims process.

Strangely, I've never had a problem with GPX. Most of the things I have sent through them have been delivered way ahead of schedule. The buyer has already been refunded and has said they would pay if it shows up. Just thinking the worst with something like this.
