Missing as in Australia Post admit receiving it but no-one I've spoken to yet knows where it is... yes.
Missing as in lost... not yet.
Hopefully it will turn up...
I've had some bad experiences with post....
Had a phone stolen from an express pak all I got with the empty box...
Then recently I had to send an LG slider phone back to have the screen re-placed
because of the previous phone stolen I was worried...
The girl at the repair place assured me it would be delivered to the house
and if no one was there they would leave me a note.
I got home from work and laying in the middle of the deck was the parcel ...............grrr
they didnt even place at the front door or on the door mat...just laying there...OMG....
I also had a missing ebay item...and it was missing for about 6 weeks then
the post office 15k's away sent me a note saying I had a parcel to be collected and it was the item
that was missing....god knows where that had been for the 6 weeks.
Funnily enough I had already enquired at that post office about the item.
Still no luck I'm guessing? What a bummer. For all involved! The Paul's put great effort into this so it's such a shame. Good luck with the continued parcel hunting. If I can be of any assistance let me know!

Yes, this is really annoying now.
Im kicking myself for taking the quick route to try and get this to him before he left Oz, should have sent it to canada, but that right there is the beauty of retrospect and hindsight.
I have hope this will turn up still, if not this is one of the finest Pj collectibles, that is ,largely unreplaceable lost forever

Well lets hope whoever has possesion of it now appreciates it...
Perhaps we should be keeping an eye on ebay to see if it comes up there
Was the parcel insured???

In the spirit of Australian humour
Sucked in Heath!
You just became the latest sucker of Australia Post.
I know it's not funny...............
I declare a 2 minute silence for that unreplaceable peice of Pearl Jam that has now fallen into the hands of some arsehole who has no idea we will CONVERT them when we find them. :twisted:
Heath....We sent you our most powerful wishes and you recieved them....
The PJ crowd got up to help you out,
And just because we are a happening crowd, we bought you a gift aswell, but.....
But on the up side, if you do get your parcel, can you ask them if they have seen my No Code Pollaroids? THANKS :P .
I think it's time to reveal what Heath just lost in the mail ( bugga).
I offer my condolences to all those Jack Daniel Pearl Jam fans out there.......but this gift has gone walk about.
Sorry Heath, but it's the thought that counts right?
i betcha it got damaged through customs and probably leaked.
taken in by the postage workers & consumed during their lunch break.
those bastards! :evil:
I hope not as it was packaged wrapped in bubble wrap, totally wedged into a watertight mini cool bag zipped around - the bottles in the tin still - popped in a cardboard box full of polystyrene!!!!

I reckon we shouldve taken it to ACA or Today Tonight...........
Someone must know where it is..
We could tell of why we did this in the first place....
someone might have a conscience....
I hope they didnt skull it then chuck the bottles
I've been dealing Australia Post without much success other than being able to cross one post office is may have gone to off the list. However, this was just from bugging them hard on the phone and getting a sympathetic person who was willing to do what she could. They have suggested we put the complaint/lost item form in in writing and the paper trail may well then enable them to find it. The people I have spoken to are all optimistic is it sitting somewhere and we should see it again.

Aus Post are crooks.
They stole a $50 note from a birthday card we mailed overseas to our cousin.

Paul - check your email mate, a copy of the formal claim to royal mail is enclosed...hope this can help kick things into action out in Aus post
however Royal mail have finally opened an investigation with aus post as to the whereabouts.
I filled in the forms stating it wasnt about the money and we just want the item back, they wrote bqack asking for a receipt showing its value.....I had to tell them three times, we just want it found, we are not interested in compensation at this stage.....
it pisses me off the first thing they do rather than look for it is try and pay out....what the hell is all that about
anyway i got a formal letter in the end saying we're investigating, please accept our apologies, and this could take 3 months to finalise.....that was about a month ago......our man in Aus (Paul A), also has a copy of this and is talking to aus post on my behalf (as the sender) to make further inroads.....I know this isnt lost, its stuck in a room somewhere....
Should've probably got a poster or vinyl....
There was probably some pissed mailman somewhere in Sydney ....
Wondering what the hell Vitalogy had to do with Whisky

I reckon someone has mucked up somewhere....

As some of you might know, I own a liquor store and wine boutique and recently asked my Jack Daniels representative if they had ever seen or heard of this item to which they replied "In my 15 years with Jack, I've never seen this promotion. We have never collaborated with any artist".
He has since asked his head office in Louisiana and they agreed that no such item was ever created and that it's a fraud.
Does anyone have any insight?
I don't want to make any accusations about another pit member as they could have honestly believed they were aquiring a great collectible. I do however think it's important that people are aware that this product was never actually released.
My rep says it's simply a "couple of mini's with a homemade label in a tin can which used to hold Jack Daniels playing cards".
If he's wrong however, I would like to be able to let him know when or where it came about.
I see many of you mention it was a promo item. When/where/who released this item?
Again, I'm not accusing anyone of anything, I'm just trying to figure out whether or not this item is legit.
This all came from myself trying to locate the collectible in order to try and re-send it without having to obtain anymore money from pit members. Although I only donated $10 to the original collection, I'd still like to get to the bottom of this.
Adolescence in essence is all about trust.
Leaving is for the answering machine.
It may well be an item not created by Jack Daniels themselves, but the item is a legitimate piece of Pearl Jam memorbillia. I beleive it was created/issued by the record company as gifts in their circles.
The last known location of the item, it was received by Australia post in Sydney and forwarded to their local post office network (as indicated by the tracking) but has gone missing since - most likely to the item being delayed by the volcano ash when leaving the UK and then missing Heath as he'd already left Australia.
I've tried to follow it up but they were unable/unwilling to give me much more information that I was unable to discover online because I was not the original sender or recipient.
The jack Daniels Promo is an official Sony Epic promo item...whether it is a jack daniels authorised product is of little importance really....Sony put this out to their top level execs....that much is known.
They are crazy limited though, and are nothing more than a standard jack two mini tin set with custom PJ artworks.
Superb items, and identifiable by the bar code on the bottom added by sony.....they should come with a second more standard beige insert card too.
Perhaps JD did authorise the giveaway, this is entirely plausible....it seems your rep wasnt even working with JD at the time this was made too, and Im sure not everyone at JD will be aware of it.....its a limited promo release for PJ....not really breaking news in the JD enterprise....I think they are more interested in huge promo activity or making the next single barrel that is numbered to add another $15 to the price tag
I like your idea though, what a great thought......and its a shame it couldnt produce a result for Heath.
Note to paul - I did authorise Royal mail and Aus post to discuss the matter with you on my behalf? did that not work? I can write a letter giving you authority formally too if needed?

I'll pass on the information you guys have provided to him and see if there's anymore he can do or find out?
I really want to emphasize that I wasn't accusing anyone of anything. Regardless of the item being authentic or not, you two have gone through great lengths to do something amazing for a fellow fan and we all appreciate that!
