Packaged Shipped to Welshie (@welshstacker)
From The Beginning
The package for @welshstacker went out along with the other shipments for the 2018 Steem Silver Round. Both of us continued to track the package as it went along the way. There first snag was that the dollar amount of the package was not as much as customs thought it should be. So what happened? Customs made Welshie pay extra for this package. This was unfortunate, but not the end of the world because the package would still be on its way, albeit at a higher cost than initially anticipated.
On the day the package was out for delivery both @welshstacker and I were extremely excited. He would finally be receiving his rounds!! Then he sent me something that rubbed me the wrong way and I had a feeling something wasn't right. Somebody signed his name for the package and the package was not on the doorstep. Typically, this is not of huge concern because often times, postmasters will deliver the package with a neighbor. When this happens the driver will usually leave a notice with the desired recipient (@welshstacker) as to how he could pick up his package.
There was no notice left. No package was delivered was delivered to @welshstacker from a neighbor... Something smelled fishy. Upon contacting the postal office they said to check with the neighbor next door. This neighbor was at work during when the package was signed as was @welshstacker. The post office driver then said he delivered it to another neighbor. This was not the case either.
In the end, it appears the driver kept the package and the silver rounds for himself. I hope they show up on the internet somewhere. Otherwise, they may end up in a pawn shop in Europe!
Making Things Right
@mattclarke put out a bounty of 100 Steem if they could provide any information leading to the recovery of the rounds for @welshstacker.
Then @mikepm74 put out a few posts a two to three weeks back about making making things right and sending some rounds to @welshstacker! You can read the initial post here, plus the follow up posts here and here.
