"Daniels wasn't alone. 7 On Your Side Investigates covered several stories of rare, lost UPS shipments, all with the same explanation. "All merchandise is missing and the carton has been discarded," Daniels explained. Like a rare guitar that the purchaser later saw for sale on a Guitar Center website and a motorcycle supercharger, that the purchaser later found for sale on eBay. So it seemed, maybe Daniels' beloved painting could be out there, too."
"In July, artist June Ahleman received an Instagram message from Sjol in Utah, telling her he'd just bought her painting at an NPS pallet auction and would she like it back. Her response? "That's crazy," said Ahleman. Crazy because Ahleman knew UPS had lost Daniels' shipment. "June contacted me and said is it okay if I give him your contact information," said Daniels. Sjol says he found Ahleman by taking a picture of the painting and doing a reverse Google image search."
Pam Daniels' painting shipped via UPS went missing and was feared lost. Multiple customers reported rare items lost after UPS shipments, with cartons discarded. In July, buyer Jason Sjol purchased an NPS pallet containing frames and the painting and contacted artist June Ahleman via Instagram. Ahleman, aware of the missing UPS shipment, connected Sjol with Daniels. Sjol located Ahleman using a reverse Google image search and paid $299 for the pallet. He offered to return the painting free if Daniels covered shipping. Daniels received the painting after using a different shipping company, bringing a positive resolution.
