Precies negen dagen geleden kon je hier op Eigenwereld.nl lezen hoe er voor $10.000 aan Super Nintendo games in de post waren verdwenen en de ontvanger hier door gedwongen werd zijn project met het reserveren van oude titels te stoppen. Het nieuws pakte veel aandacht op het internet en ging de USPS op verder onderzoek uit en om een lang verhaal kort te houden is het pakket weer boven water en is iedereen weer blij. Het hele verhaal van hoe het verlopen is kan je hier terug lezen.

Both before and after February 14th, news sites had started to pick up this story. For which I am extremely grateful.

I am ashamed at having to abuse my position and ask for help in getting this story out there. It's not something that most people can do, and in any other circumstance, is not something that I would ever do.

But given the value of the package (roughly $10,000), and the fact that I made a promise to the donor to return his games, I really had no choice.

It wasn't until the story really started to take off that on February 16th, finally a manager at the USPS Consumer Affairs department took note of the case.

And I mean that literally: he told me straight up the reason he was contacting me was because of the news articles he had encountered on this case.

So thanks to the coverage, I finally had a strong contact within the USPS who passed me to his employee who then proceeded to open an investigation and help search for the package.

On February 21st, I received an e-mail on the missing mail search I had submitted on January 30th, informing me that my package had been located!

Excited, I contacted my CA rep.
