A friend tells the same story, everything arrived, with the exception of a Lamp Shade, the rest of the lamp was there, but no shade.

Wondering if there is an Aladdin's cave somewhere, full of miscellaneous items from Expats shipping, or if the shipping companies take a trophy from each job and awards points for the most bizarre.

Anyone else lost stuff?
We lost the legs to our xmas tree! Oh and a pair of shoes, new ones never worn.

Yes you can, but the forms we were sent to do the claim were just too much for the daft stuff we lost, even the microwave oven was damaged but they wanted repair bills, proof of purchase etc and after the trauma of getting here we didn't want to go through the hassle of claiming.

We seem to be missing a calendar (with dates of everyone's birthdays) and a terracotta salad bowl. We thought that we had a couple of pieces of track missing for the little one's Matchbox car thingy. They turned up in a box marked "CD's and Books".
