    Well I filled out the paperwork DHL sent me and faxed it back. They absolutely said it was their fault. I then called Apple and go the ball rolling there. Basically, Apple calls DHL and asks "is it lost?" If DHL says "Yes" then Apple gets me a new iBook. The discovery process is 48 business hours. Apple said I didn't have to worry about anything.

    I hope someone likes their new iBook. I did.

      What about your loss of data/files? Invasion of your privacy, in case there's very personal data on the harddisk?

        I backed up before sending it for repairs. The personal data part suck though. I will live and learn with that one.

          I would have zero out the disk before sending it out to someone god knows who will inspect your computer.

            Next time I will at least delete all the personal stuff.

            I have extended care with Apple. DHL only pays a whopping $100 for lost items. I have no idea if there is some kind of agreement between the two companies.

              Most (all?) carriers let you insure your package to a higher amount. I'm sure Apple does that (or as you said, have an agreement where they get higher coverage).
