with no expertise, I think I'm smelling a scam here. Do any legit delivery services even have "COD" anymore? And if so, do they accept personal checks upon delivery of goods?
I would start a dialog with a UPS supervisor in written form to protect yourself. That may also yield a resolution.
Second, ask your bank to put a trace on the check, to see WHERE it was cashed. if in proximity to the luthier, he may have scammed you. (I REALLY don't want to believe this option!) If cashed elsewhere or near you, I would think there is a scam inside UPS, or a big mistake. Again, a correspondence with UPS may shed light here. Just smells fishy to me....I haven't heard of COD since ordering SeaMonkeys off the side of cereal boxes in the 70s...
Good luck, and please update. You really got my curiosity on this one!
