Lost & Found Lost kindle in Orisson

[Nwalker]

I lost a kindle in Orisson about 10 days ago. I emailed them and they found it! I volunteered to pay to have it mailed to me in the U.S. They replied” a special society” will contact you for its return! They have not answered any of my further questions about who or what this society is! Sounds like I’m getting patronized! Anyone know how I might proceed?

My pagan guess is that a US hospitalero will take it home with him when his time as a volunteer ends. Expect a knock on your door (or in your inbox) anytime.

I’d probably resign myself to buying a new kindle.

Prime Days are coming up in about a week. I agree that it may be time to involuntarily upgrade.

Hi @Nwalker, I've never done this myself but I know for certain that you can place an order with DHL for example so that they will pick up your Kindle at Orisson's address and send it to your address in the USA.

I had a look on the DHL website: You would have to pay about €80. All that the Orisson people have to do is putting your Kindle safely into a small box.

Are you communicating in English or in French with Orisson? If in writing, try to use simple sentences in either language. BTW, Orisson does not have hospitaleros. They are a registered business and have paid staff and my guess is that they all live in France. Best of luck!

A refurbished Kindle from Amazon would cost less than the shipping though (unless it is a Paperwhite version).

Lucky you!
I think you’ll get an answer after the high season of their business.
