Ebay Shipping Issue

[similost]

I've been down this road.. lost some nice tubes that I bought from someone on e-bay..

I had it delivered to my office.. Said it was delivered on a Saturday. I know better, we don't accept deliveries on Saturday because we aren't open...

Went through a big mess with the post office and managers and anyone I could get to listen to me at the post office. No one wanted to accept responsibility, but could all point to one person that supposedly delivered the package. He said he had no clue.. and that was the end of that..

Thankfully the seller was a decent person and sent me another package of tubes.. Had those delivered to my house.. I left the seller good feedback before he sent those. Wasn't his faut the USPS is comprised of morons in this city... It was amazing the fools I talked to.. amazing the postal system even works in this city after what I found out..

I wish you luck!

You might check with the other end of your street. Sometimes things get delivered to 213 N. anytown street when you live at 213 S.anytown street. If you get my meaning.

Hooray,
My cartridge showed up today... Geeze, USPS tracking is about worthless, this is the last time I will have item shipped not requiring signature for reciept..

Now where the heck is my package from Cinemag

USPS tracking IS worthless in my experience, why do they even bother?

throw in a banana!

Glad it worked out. Man, that was distressing, even as just a reader!

Weird. Hopefully it just got delivered to the wrong party and they were kind enough to drop it in the mail again. Prefer thinking that instead of the mail carrier mistakenly scanning it as delivered when it wasn't.

It came with the mail so i do not know. There appears to be no additional markings from when it was origanally sent.
Man I glad it is over... Not that the amount of money would make or break me but being newly unemployed I surely can't waste it and this purchase was a stretch to begin with

Glad to hear it worked out. I'll admit that I was sure it would.

I don't understand how or why the USPS tracking is all over the map like that, but it sure is. And even in the best of circumstances, when their tracking info is fairly detailed, it's never as precise or updated as often as that of the competition.

My dad works for the US Post Office and he doesn't understand it either, especially given the amount of package handling that they farm out and how much automation and scanning equipment they have installed in their own facilities.

More then likely it was delivered to the wrong address then that person is honest and gave it to the Mailman to deliver correctly this time .

Glad it worked out for you .

I have this happen all the time. I live on Howell Street, there's a West Howell Street a couple blocks away and we get each others' mail/packages on a regular basis.
