Thats definitely a problem, I would think that breeder would work with you on that, either a refund or sending you a new one. I would not do business with that breeder again.
I wouldn't blame the queen breeder for a failure to deliver by the post office. I've been getting monthly remittances by mail from an american client for more than 20 years. They are mailed on the 2nd typically and usually arrive between the 10th and 13 of the month. Since the powers that be started gutting the US Post office that's changed. The last one sent left an office in the eastern us postmarked July 02, arrived here on Aug 05.I was wondering if anyone have ever had problems with breeder not resending queens because they were missing from post office.This guy refunded postage but told me I am out of luck with queens

I could go on and on about this, but that would devolve into politics. I will say, fella trying to make some bucks producing queens is now hamstrung by politics of the post office, you are pointing the finger at the wrong place.
I believe this is how the law works here too but may vary by state. The law may be one thing but the norm in the practice may be another. JDifferent countries, different systems - but over here the onus is upon the seller to demonstrate delivery was effected - i.e. that the correct signature was obtained by the Post Office. Otherwise the seller must refund the purchaser and then make a claim against the Post Office, as it was the seller who entered into a contract with the Post Office to deliver the goods - even if the purchaser paid for that delivery. If the Post Office can't prove they fulfilled the contract, then they lose out - not the seller, nor the purchaser.

Guess that would depend on what level of service was paid for wouldn't it ? I can ship a letter off for a buck, no confirmation of delivery or timelines. I can spend 10 bucks, then it will have tracking information. I can spend 25, then it'll have tracking and guarantees on deliver tomorrow. I can add insurance on top of that by paying a portion of the declared value. But shipping queens would be an exception, our post office will not insure live critters.Different countries, different systems - but over here the onus is upon the seller to demonstrate delivery was effected - i.e. that the correct signature was obtained by the Post Office.
No tracking number? Most breeders purchase insurance through the shipping company, which you then can file a claim through.I was wondering if anyone have ever had problems with breeder not resending queens because they were missing from post office.This guy refunded postage but told me I am out of luck with queens
