Hi Donnie - well, the UPS tracking status is officially displaying "exception" now. The guy that sold it to me has initiated a tracer action on it. So that will take up to 8 days for UPS to try to locate it. After that, I believe he will get a payment for the insured value (which he confirmed he had on it) and then I'm hoping he will refund me via PayPal.

I know that the 19th of the year is the busiest day of the year for UPS, and the second most busiest for UPS was yesterday (due to last minute 2nd day air deliveries).

I'm gonna keep hoping.

Well - I'm off to MD! 16 hours of driving... but at least I'll have my XM to keep me alert.

Happy holidays everyone!

Randy
