In the time I have been in this hobby (not a LONG time) I have sent 300+ packages ,many to Europe, and never had problems. Seems Vic lives in a bad Zip Code huh ?
You said it best when you said " I don't know Vic G, but two lost packages (that we know of) plus his other dealings with some fine chippers, sure makes him someone to avoid like the PLAGUE!!! Live & learn, I guess"

I wonder if I can have that quote typed onto my Membership Card as a reminder when I renew this year?
