Look on the bright side - at least there are photos of everything that's missing.
Grab the photos and hunt through ePay to find similar saws and note the prices.
See if you can find some more expansive ones.
I bet there's a limit on compensation for uninsured parcels. Probably a couple of hundred bucks.
Put a case to them that the saws were worth over $1000 and they will probably pay you the uninsured parcel limit.
Seriously though, I know you were looking forward to this project and I feel your pain.I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

and not the messiah?
Yeah that's a bugger ! Hate it when that happens.
Theres no way they need bother looking in the "the packaging split apart" shed. If it's anything like mine, it was jet black and glossy with electrical tape, so should be reasonably easy to find if you turn the lights on, rather than looking into a dark room and saying you had a good search for them.

I would hazard a guess it’s ended up in some mailsorters shed. Anyone who’s a woodworker would probably guess what’s in there, going by the shape of the package. Not sure how hard it would be for them to get a parcel into the back of their car, or readdress it to themselves.

Brad, so sorry to hear of the "missing" parcel. My approach would be based solely on value rather than any so-called cost. They were vintage hand saws sent to you by a well known collector and all he asked you to pay was for the packing material and postage. Due to the number of saws and their age, I would put an estimated minimum value of $xxxx with the note that once restored they could be worth many, many times that figure. As for the person who who advised you of the loss and offered her sympathy/apology (???) by finishing with "have a great day" I can't print what I think of her approach. She probably sends funeral sympathy cards with the same ending!

As some of you are aware Ironwood saws have been lost in transit,[emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]
By our National courier [emoji45][emoji45][emoji45][emoji45].
Any one have any suggestions on how to value there worth,
The only way I can think of is to find similar articles on line with monetary values !!
So I can aid Ironwood in receiving some sort of remuneration from Australia post.
I’m all ears
Cheers Matt.
PS This has been sugar coated !!!
My private emails too Brad are more colourful [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]

From Aus post website Compensation for lost or damaged items - Australia Post
Unless there is extra cover arranged the most they will pay is $100. THey would be worth that as scrap steel and timber
Anyway more seriously, with all the saws he was getting that's probably less than $10 per saw. I cant see a probelm with getting the maximum payout, but it still sucks.I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

Received my saws yesterday - Thanks Matt!
(For those playing along at home, Matt has evolved from electrical tape to masking tape )
