CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) — Chesterfield County resident Bill Jennings can transform a piece of wood into art.  The busy wood carver always uses the post office to ship his work so he’s meticulous when it comes to labeling and addressing his packages.

So, when he mailed a gift to this son, he was shocked when it just disappeared.

Bill Jennings says, ” I mailed it priority mail with extra insurance.”

Jennings, who lived in New York at the time, mailed the glass vase April 10 of last year to his son in Chester.

Weeks later, the vase never arrived.

Jennings insured it for $100 and saved all his receipts.

“I went online to the tracking number, I tracked it, it said it was at the post office but undeliverable as addressed,” explains Jennings.
