Full Description and Details of the Incident

We sent a parcel to a customer in Chicago, IL, USA at the beginning of September 2025, and a botched delivery resulted in the parcel supposedly being returned to us. This has not (yet) materialised, and the lack of any tracking updates now makes me suspicious it may be lost.

If any of the listed items have been found or if any further information is available, please contact ILAB or the reporting organisation / business.
