I just got off the phone with the shipper. No news yet, but he did confirm
that once we've given up hope, he'll refund my money.
Of course, what I _really_ want is for UPS to find the box. Aside from a
picture on Eric's brouhaha web site, this was the first one of the DEC
Computer Lab digital logic trainers I'd ever come across. I hate to think
that UPS has somehow managed to lose it.

When I talked to the shipper, I confirmed that I wanted the package
double-boxed and said I wanted it insured. UPS started a trace on the
package last Friday afternoon, so I'll be following up tomorrow. I
haven't
given up _all_ hope, but it isn't looking good.

despite my
instructions to the contrary. Of course, those instructions
were
over the phone, not via e-mail, so I'm getting
the "you didn't tell me
you
wanted me to insure it". Gee, now why
wouldn't I want it insured? :-(
Did you pay the seller to insure the package? If so, then he owes even if he has to pay out of his own pocket.
My 2 cents worth,
