Really sad day. I’ve tried checking into this and basically because USPS says that it was delivered, doesn’t matter that the package had insurance as this is not considered a lost package.

Those in the SF area, can you keep an eye out for these bindings on the resale market?

What? That’s a huge bummer!

Insurance doesn’t matter? What is insurance for then?

Sorry to hear about that, that’s a real bummer. I imagine they left it on your doorstep correct? But I gotta ask, why did you/they ship USPS instead of UPS/FedEx?

This is why I use private carriers (such as UPS and FedEx) and NOT the USPS for valuable shipments. You can give them much more specific instructions (ie. require a signnature for delivery). Yes, it does cost more but its worth having that sort of reliability/insurance.

you can do that with the post office too. But, the seller has to ask or require these things.

Did you call the postmaster general in your area? Dont stop with your local postal office, notch it up.

and for all of you, if you are getting high dollar gear through any carrier ask the shipper for a signature conformation.

That is a bummer…big time…I say we start a donation pool for Dan. After all he’s a Norwegian and they invented touring ya know.

if we each kicked in 5-10 bucks…it would take long for us to raise the money. After all it’s Christmas and we’re splitters, eh!

I’ll kick in the 1st $20…everybody whom wants to donate..just put a reply and what you’d like to donate.

I’ve had packages that were “delivered” to houses across the street. Makes me feel slightly better about the box of Christmas/Birthday presents my mom sent for my son – delivered this afternoon on our deck, but a bear got to the package before we did 😯 Shredded the box, but left a package of goldfish untouched :scratch:

I like this idea. Keffler didn’t steal the bindings and as far as I know this is the first time this has happened with his product. Not sure why someone would even want these. Pretty specific use. Is there another splitter where you live? :nononno:

Put me down for $20. Let’s make it happen.

So after reading this some of you would just change the shipper and still not require a signature for delivery? For an item with a worth net of 1000 dollars?

John. Protect yourself. Ups,fed ex, Dahl,USPS or donkey and cart, you want your prize? Sign the paper

I though about this yesterday. I bought an 800 dollar gimbal from China. The vendor required an adult signature it was shipped USPS. I was not at home Tuesday so I got one of those orange slips of paper. Yesterday I gave the postman my orange notice. He went back and brought the box. And the. Said ” as soon as you show me picture ID you can sign and have your package. That’s pretty hard to screw up

i’m down for $20

however there might be a snag with this issue. These were all made to order and it might not be possible to get another set made right now, and if so the cost might be higher as he would have to be producing one unit vs. 30. If it can happen i’m happy to contribute.
