I had an Express take 7 days, but not this long. I would think it will still get there as is does not show "delivered" or some other type of finality.

I've had similar experiences as Scot. Have not had one go completely missing yet

Also just in my recent experiences (these past two weeks) each time I track an item that big read header "Due to severe weather across the nation, expect delays" appears. Not sure if this is a factor in your case.

Really hope it all works out for you.

Hope it works out! Your immediate action to issue a refund to the buyer was very classy and will nurture that relationship, so there's a silver lining to this unfortunate series of events. I have dealt with similar situations (and the lost material never showed up) and handled it as you did. I was out some money, but made stronger connections with the other parties. The industry is still smaller than we realize, and good word-of-mouth is priceless.

After 56 days in transit, the card quietly reappeared earlier this week and was delivered this afternoon without issue. It had gone completely dark after I mailed it out on July 3, so seeing it scan in and make its way to the recipient felt like a small miracle.

Thanks to everyone who followed along, offered advice, or just shared a kind word during the wait. The support and insight from this community made a stressful situation a lot easier to navigate.

Still can’t quite believe it.
