I am sad to report that the Boo Boo Box is confirmed missing, as in
gone forever.
Before I think about replacing it, I'd like to ask the letterboxing
community whether or not it actually wants it replaced.
Should it be replaced, or should it go the way of the Purple Heart?
Looking for your feedback,
Warrior Woman

I think it is a great idea but with all those stories
missing now it will have lost some of its intrigue. I
am still dumbfounded that a postal goes missing.

Oh, gosh, I see that you are *way* down on the list to receive it. I
can see your point. I can feel your pain. Heck, I can feel *my*
pain.

Two words - Delivery Confirmation. I have found that in my
experience, if Delivery Confirmation is used when sending PLBs, they
get there. If it is not used, maybe it will get there.
Also, the Boo Boo box was a 10" by 14" by 3" Sterilite plastic
container inside a cardboard box filled with packing peanuts, so it
isn't as if it could have slipped behind a sofa cushion.
Sigh.
I am still dumbfounded as to why the Boo Boo Box took so long to go
from person to person before it finally disappeared. Since it was
launched in March, I would have thought it would have made it through
the rounds by now - but I guess that didn't happen.
Oh, well.
Another mystery of life over which to ponder.

Have you talked to Talking Turtle?
In an email she sent me Saturday she confirmed she had received the
boo boo box but was not sure she mailed it . . .

Yep, Delivery Confirmation was one of our better ideas. :-) A whole
lot fewer "Oh, I never received it!"s when for the price of a little
more than a couple of quarters, the sender can say "Oh yes you did."
Tends to keeps a lot more people honest these days. I'd say close to
90% of the packages I deliver nowadays are Delivery Confirmation.
And I'm not saying that the occasional package doesn't go astray.
With the millions we handle, a few are going to either go astray or
get damaged. But it's sure surprising how many fewer packages are
reported going astray these days when the receiver knows that a click
on a website will show the sender if the delivery was made. :-)
