I wonder what it would have cost you to simply hold on to your passport. The whole thing seems/smells shady.
Is it too much for you to hold on to your Nigerian passport. Why leave it in Nigeria. You are not the first dual citizen nah.
Every other dual citizen that i know holds on to his/her passport[b]s[/b]

Remember, Its a PUBLIC forum

To my thinking, UPS London or Ireland can do little or nothing in your case. You can only ask them if they have recieved your package which they already told you no. The call from London is to let you know that they dont have your package. In most case I know you have to resolve the problem from the point of delivery. They are the people who will account for your package. If your package is missing they are the one the sender must put pressure on to find out where the package is since it is a registered mail.
If the claim to have posted the package, the sender will question and demand for comfirmation of the package being in the final destination. Even if the package is missing along the line maybe in London, it is their responsibility to track down the package and inforn the sender the status of the package. This is part of the agreement which both them and the sender agreed upon before sending the document.
Good luck!

[size=20pt]UPDATE: 19/11/2009[/size]


After much delays and negligence, UPS eventually sent me an email with a "Claim Form" attachment in which they asked me to fill the "lesser value" of the lost contents of my package.

It was a difficult and unascertainable assignment since the (main) lost items (being travel documents) do not really have financial values; so i was hesitant to fill the form until i had my solicitor's advice. It's regrettable that my solicitor can do little or nothing from Ireland since the shipment contract was not signed in Ireland, but in Nigeria. However, acting on advice of my Irish solicitor, i filled in the Claims Form entering the costs of replacement documents and then sent it by fax to London. Meanwhile, a solicitor in Nigeria is preparing a law suit for breach of contract and all other losses, damages, stress, expenses and inconveniences that UPS has caused us.

Now, after sending back the claim form together with 17 pages of other supporting documents with my passport visas and endorsed pages, i received no acknowledgement regarding its receipt (it was as if UPS staff only care about the goods and services that are on course, and nobody cares much about the ones that have gone wrong) it's so bitter and frustrating that i had to put pressure on them in order to make them act on my case. It was on one of my pressure calls (last week) that a UPS staff advised that they received my claim forms and letters, and that they would respond to it this week. I waited all week until i rang them today, and another silly woman told me bluntly that UPS is not oblige to give me update of the situation and that they would respond only to the sender in Nigeria.

"Very well, have you given him the update yet?" I questioned.

"Like i said before, i don't have to explain to you what we are doing with our customer." She insisted.

I understood that she was not ready to listen to me, and that she was the kind who wanted to stick to her supposed rights and beliefs and would not want to know that her other colleagues have been corresponding with me: her behaviour made me assume that UPS might have issued the settlement to the sender. But a call to the sender in Nigeria confirms that there he has been left out of the whole issues since the beginning

It's naija, your brother or whoever could even get beaten for doing to much gragra, olboy, e no easy to survive for this jungle!

All the best.

Tegese:

any update on the situation, vic? like i soppose many others are, i am just curious to know how it went or how it is going

demi2008:

any updates yet

Lol on how you dug out this tread from the buttom-less pit.
   Well, it's a very good question, there is a twist in development, the case has since be going on in Nigeria.
   Could you believe that UPS in Lagos is now claiming that the package was held by NDLEA officials "attached to their lagos office" because, there was cocaine concealed in it?   The case has now been transferred to a High Court section that deals with narcotic issues and this development has slowed down the judicial process.
   Actually, my lawyer (a Senior Advocate Of Nigeria, SAN) was only laughing at them, we will be suing them for deformation of character after getting our claims on the damage they caused due to their failure to deliver the package in due dates.
   The Judge has ordered UPS lawyers to produce the package for analysis, but they don't even have it, they can't even provide it, they insisted that it was with the NDLEA. And when asked why NDLEA officials did not arrest the man who posted it, they said it is not up to UPS to know why NDLEA did not take any action.
   The fact is, UPS is only looking for a way to avoid responsibility for the damage they have caused, and they are doing everything to avoid justice; there is no report from NDLEA officials regarding the claims, and even if there would be, we are ready to sue NDLEA along for holding on to a genuine package; but i doubt it will come to that since the judge is not convinced by the ups STORY
