"Australia Post sent me a form for you to complete to receive a compensation valued at $100.00. Although this parcel was sent via registered post, they have admitted to misplacing the parcel. I’ll send you the form today and if you could complete it and send it to Australia Post, you will be entitled to the compensation."
Sigh. What value is a layout?
I really liked these two as they were about firsts - Jamie playing "boo" and walking.
I don't even have a large enough resolution image to print one out.
I guess I just have to be philosophical. This is one of the risks of submitting LOs for publication.
I've lost three layouts in the last two months and I'm waiting on probably at least $100 that I'll probably also never see...
Let's see, what can I learn from this?
1. Registered post isn't reliable
2. Mail redirect isn't reliable

Kathie what a shame :-( I use registered post...might hang on to the cash instead if it doesn't work.
Sorry you no longer have these layouts, they are beautiful.

:( That sucks Kathie, I know all too well how you feel.
I hope that you are able to at least get that money from Aus post to fund the 're-creation' of these lovely pages!
Oh no Kathie! I can't believe they still went missing even though they were registered! I'm sorry you now don't have these gorgeous layouts... and what price could you put on them? How frustrating and totally annoying...
I hope they mysteriously appear on your doorstep sometime soon...

Registered post should be safe!!! *sigh*.
I'm so sorry that your layouts have gone missing, Kathie. I hope that the do eventually turn up.
The price of them??? Priceless!!!!
They are beautiful layouts, too, of beautiful memories.
Dash! that was me that left that anonymous comment.

I really don't get the whole "lost mail" thing. Where does it go? It can't just go poof! I just don't get it. You must be so disappointed. They are gorgeous. I especially love "Wait". So sad for you that they are gone. Since they are "priceless one-off original artworks" I reckon you should say they're worth the maximum you can claim!
I have had a few issues with
Australia Post on both redirecting and registered mail, redirecting does not allways get appropriately get redirected and registered mail can get lost just like any other mail, Very bad service!! I feel for you Kathie,

Oh! That sucks! I never knew that this was something that happened often. Maybe there is hope that they will find them?
