Sorry to hear that
I was at Denver on 9/11, and had to ship 5 boxes with stones (up to 20kg
each) back to Argentina.
I was afraid that they will be lost, but fortunately all arrived safe,
even more, they were some of the faster shipments I had. They took about
3 weeks for a surface shipment.
Normally takes 1.5 monthes to a record of 5 monthes to arrive. This
record one arrived 2 monthes after I made a claim, so it seems it was
delayed in some of the post offices and when the claim arrived to that
office the box was found and sent.
