Last post from @cope07@ was Nov 15.
I am now becoming concerned about our project.
When it was my turn I engaged in personal contact with the person shipping to me, and then when I was shipping to the next participant to make sure all the info, addresses, and timing would work out. Should the camera be found, maybe we should establish a personal contact protocol when shipping.
Does anyone know cope07 personally, have contact information, or live near him/her?

I called the local postmaster, the carrier is going to check to see if the package is still where they left it. If it is still there, I asked them to send it back to me. I'll call them back tomorrow and find out what happened.

Ok, this is important for all participants. Please check back here so you know what is happening, and you can report your progress. i.e. you received the camera, you are sending it on mentioning who you are sending it on to - no need to give the real name, the FM name is fine.
But I will provide everyone with the real names of who is sending to them, who they are sending to. In unique PMs.
Any issues, PM me.
I am sending the camera to Sirimiri tomorrow. He will send to Push1Stop. Full list coming the moment the stoopid file...Show more →
I had mentioned this already for us to keep track.

We have his name and address, but I don't want to post that in the open.
Let's see what happens this week, hopefully 1. he is ok and 2. we get this resolved.

Fingers crossed all is well.
But I also think it would be a pretty lame project if there were no hiccups.

You expect him to be there on a Wednesday - the middle of a work week?

Off topic, just say'in that I am meanwhile just thankful if the available person in the USPS post office is able to enter the address correctly into their electronic system to have the label printed with tracking#. What was a no-brainer years ago is a gambling now. When resources for the postal service were cut by the government about 5 years ago - coming from the delusional thinking a federal agency like USPS can be made more profitable -, USPS has become very unreliable in nearly every aspect. Similar to bank branches, the USPS post office hours are ridiculous, too (closing at 4 pm on regular work days!). I avoid USPS whenever I can these days.
Unfortunately for US passport and governmental documents to be sent, USPS "first class" mailing is still without alternative option. Even I would love to pay extra $$ to have these important documents sent via UPS instead.

I talked to the postmaster again and the carrier reported the package was not where they left it.
Since I have cope07's name, I googled it and found a likely match on Instagram, maybe he can be reached there?
I don't use IG, and this is Huss's project, so I'll let him determine next steps.

yeah, I found his info online too. I will reach out. The package was delivered on Dec 21, it is now January 5.
He has not opened/read the PM I sent him on Dec 27th.

Minor update.... contact has been re-established! cope07's wife had a baby the day the camera arrived!.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Naturally I demanded he name it Ricoh, but for some reason he wasn't too keen...
Anyway, this project should shortly get back on track. I provided him with RustyBug's info.
