Can I get refunded for records lost in the mail? (Page 2 of 2)

maybe you are right. but in this case i packed the CD in a large box. maybe this was more atractive to thiefs as the normal cd-box?

I was going to tell you Tech - when buying records from a french guy and getting them shipped to Sweden 2-3 months is not unusual.

It has happened to me on more then one occasion.
If it has taken more than 3 months then you should begin to worry, "only" 2 months is no big deal.

(although I really wonder how it's possible. I mean: I could go from Sweden to France by bike, pick up the records and return by bike in that time...what are they doing with the packages?)
Shipping anything anywhere within Sweden is never more than about 3 days maximum, so I guess it's the french post that's kinda slow, no?
Or is it just because more than one country's involved?
Free movement of goods in the EU - hooray

If the goods are expensive I normally select registered shipping.
But my friend, who has bought much more (and far more expensive) records from ebay always says:
"No, don't use registered shipping. The risk is much higher for registered packages to disappear. It's just more expensive and not more reliable."

I disagree but I guess we have had different experiences in the past.

@Galliano: After living a year in Paris, I have come to the conclusion that the french postal service are complete cretins incapable of following the most basic instructions, so I shouldn't be so surprised it took a while. I'm glad it finally did arrive though, they've lost my packages on several occasions before.
