Hope you can sort it out with Beklina or Paypal - so upsetting. Oh, also my friend in Dubai had her laundry stolen/lost and they went through CCTV and blamed it on some poor maintenance man who got immediately deported. Not sure which system is worse/better! I'm feeling twitchy that you have another little thing to focus on now though...Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15188028989219458778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-43754997058433133232009-02-24T21:00:00.000-05:002009-02-24T21:00:00.000-05:00totally sucks. but, it seems there must be some re...totally sucks. but, it seems there must be some resolution besides you being out $190 w/o dress?! or am i super naiiiive?SASHAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00330102348319839361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-16780886427089775782009-02-23T20:10:00.000-05:002009-02-23T20:10:00.000-05:00Oh, that sucks but I hope you get a great resoluti...Oh, that sucks but I hope you get a great resolution! I agree that maybe USPS will wind up hopefully saving the day. I am in the middle of an ordered online dress issue myself (I bought a dress on Ebay; love it BUT it has a sensor attached to it and the whacked-out seller has told me to just take it to Saks where she claims she bought it for detagging; she has *also* tried to demand that I return it to her for daring to question why it came with the tag, *without* a mention of a refund).

Your sad tale reminds me why we have to sign. The owner of Beklina is a nice girl -- hopefully she can blame this one on the Post Office, you can get store credit, and all will be well. Sounds like it's USPS's fault. Good luck with this.pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10825568567597090734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33197783.post-78845429806727265642009-02-22T14:33:00.000-05:002009-02-22T14:33:00.000-05:00I second Moya's thoughts.

At LG we always send items with a direct signature requirement now (unless requested to do otherwise) because we have had so many cases of lost packages. Beklina may be able to work something out with you.<BR/><BR/>I'm so sorry.

Sometimes I just stop by with ID and ask if there's anything there for me. Two out of three times, there is something waiting. Maybe you already tried that... I just thought of it because before Christmas someone ordered a tie for me, and I sent it expedited so it would arrive in time (I paid nearly $20 of my own money to do this). After Christmas she wrote to me and asked when I sent it, and after checking at her post office, found that it had been sitting there for two weeks.

I'd call your CC company to find out. Sometimes debit cards have similar protection (I think mine does, but I use my CC for online purchases partly for this very reason).
