I had a problem once a couple of years ago. (did the same thing you did) In my mind I thought I wasn't being told the truth, but I did what I had to do and mailed out duplicates. These arrived just fine. A couple of days later I got a battered up box returned to me by the post office. It had never made it to the address but did make it back to me. That really restored my faith. He had been telling me the truth and I doubted it. It was almost 4 weeks between when I sent it out to when it came back. I put them right in my bag and fished them that season.
