Huge C.h.i.p.s. collection lost in post/stolen.

Hey guys,

Firstly I have to say hello to you all and see if you are all good

I haven't been active on the forum for a long time purely because I have had a huge vintage C.h.i p.s collection go missing / be stolen in the post and it has left me very bitter and pretty much done with collecting. It is so hard to take and has completely knocked me for six. Basically,I bought the collection from USA using a friend as the middle nan as he is in Canada. The collection was received by him and he said he mailed it out to me but he had lost the proof of postage. Granted, the parcel had been in his possession for around a year or so as he was holding onto it as a favour as I moved house recently. My friend said he posted it last October 2018 but as it's still not here somethings obviously happened.

I'm going to contact him and ask for details of the post office where they were posted and see if it can be tracked down.

This has really pissed me off so I'm pretty much done with collecting now.

Damn that's not good, it really is frustrating when things get lost in the post. Surely if it was a high value item/collection he would have had the sense to get a tracking number?

This is really sad and I'm really sorry for you.

But something doesn't sound right with your friend, he's lost the proof of postage and the package has gone missing?

How well do you know the friend?

He didn't post it.

Very sorry to hear this, but I agree it does seem suspicious that the guy has lost the proof of posting AND the delivery has gone missing...

Hi Lee I'm really sorry to hear this and I really hope you track it down, though it's going to be tough one year on from the alleged posting. Good luck.

And or insure it!

It does sound suspect

It might be worth putting a post about this up on the forum at Mego Museum as they were a Mego line.

Sorry to hear that mate.
