Foxhack: So my worst fear has been confirmed: The US Post Office just told me I have to wait up to an additional 42 days before I can submit an insurance claim for that package I sent to Italy because the Italian Postal Service hasn't told them the package has been lost.
Which means I have to figure out a way to get $600 in a week before the buyer of that item files an item not received claim against me. He said he'd do it on the 10th.
Luckily I've been asking for help at a particular forum - basically, a loan that would be repaid, with interest, when I get the insurance money. But I've still got to wait until the loan is finalized...
That sucks....again, I hope that after all this you can rise up with your head held high and get all sorts of mad opportunities to make monies. :)
