It's great seeing these posts, pony dreams still come true !!!  I think you owe hubby BIG time, congrats

What a relief, did your pony stop over in the Pacific islands on its way?

That's absolutely terrible. Hopefully the post office can shed some light.

Although its more likely to be a Customs thing mail handlers are capable of stealing, they are only human. I know we have had a couple of posties stealing mail and obviously no one is any wiser unless people report it!! The last two cases had been going on for over a year because people just didn't think to ask questions. They only found the last guy because his parents found all this undelivered mail in his room and reported him to his employer who then contacted Police.

I ALWAYS take pictures of my parcels before shipping now so if there are any issues I have some evidence to back it up, sounds like you do too so that's good as is the fact that its insured.

Gosh let us know how it goes

I can't imagine how hard Gustys symbols are to do but they look perfect !!!

I did contact my buyer she was thankful for my honesty but said lets just wait and see what happens

EPIC is definately the only word that comes to mind...  how on earth did you pack her for shipping, I would have been terrified relinquishing her to the postal system

Thanks everyone. In NZ we pay duty on items valued over $400NZD but that INCLUDES the shipping, which can often tip the item over the threshold hence why I got confuzzled.
