Bought some goods on Zilvia from a member on here, he sent the package and even gave me the tracking #
for it and everything but supposedly yesterday the package had came in at 11:58am I was here to sign for that but I never did see that package...:naw:

I called up my main office to see if they had received anything and nothing... I knocked on some of my neighbors doors and they said they hadn't received anything

Called up USPS main line and they said the same thing i was looking at online "item was sent from >location< and was delivered and signed for >basic location<"
so i got transfered over to my neighborhood USPS which is up the street and the lady who helped me said pretty much the same thing and told me to call at 9am
on monday when the delivery guys are still in the building(i plan on going in person) so they can speak to the person on route and see where he delivered the package to or who signed for it.

TL;DR : Basically how screwed am I if the guy doesn't remember where or who the package went to. and how do i get my money back? i paid through paypal but I don't want to disput against the person who i purchased from since he did in fact send it...:wtf:

sidenote: i received a USPS package at my door step the day before yesterday with no problems, so i don't see any reason this package got lost other than, the writing on the package was hard to read

UPDATE: also for future zilvia related searches for USPS shipping.

USPS closed at 12pm saturday(today) i got a hold of them earlier today and they said they would call me back. i got a call back at 1:20ish pm(after business hours) that the carrier had marked my package "delivered" but still had it on him.
So he is leaving the post office to deliver my package that supposedly was here a day ago and I am waiting for his arrival soon

TL;DR: if you haven't received your package, call the nearest USPS with your tracking # and ask who the carrier was and any other questions you have with USPS !!!!

I had a similar problem happen, in my case I was sending the item I bought to my sister who was away at college, correct address and all, on the tracking information it was confirmed delivered but after 4 days past the designated delivery date, I received a call from my sister saying she didn't get anything. I emailed the vendor and they confirmed they were getting the item back for "Wrong Address" (wtf?) So I told the vendor that once they receive it to just send it to my house and I'll drive the 1.5hrs myself to send it to my sister since USPS can't do shit right.

Usps isn't funded by your tax dollars.

Tempo...I carried mail. Alot of carriers scan every package delivered before they leave the facility. It's not right but definitely a pain in the ass trying to scan a package when your hands are full of mail.

P.S. I hate the postal service too.

Here is what probly happened because this is what my postman does who delivers to my house. He scans all packages as "delivered" once he shows up on our block. He walks the block with only letters, non packages. delivers all that. then goes back and delivers the packages afterwards. ( i've gotten packages as late as 8pm! ) and sometimes if he doesn't have the time he delivers it the next day even though it says delivered

I personally like USPS MUCH cheaper and faster service for the most part. Yes it does suck but mistakes happen all the time, no its not right but we are all human. Hell I hate UPS they never deliever to my address it always go soemwhere else and there prices are crazy unless you have an account. Also with usps the insurance and all is still cheaper then any place else. Well just my 2cents and I hope all works out for you.

I have used them for years never a single problem. ordered fender flares for a 240Z it was sent UPS and the box came up beat up and bent to shit. ups paid me back.

sometimes packages come late or such but a week or day isnt going to kill you seriously.

I had a set of wheels shipped to my parents' house via USPS recently and only three came. My mom isn't stupid and asked where the fourth was, and the delivery man balked that that's all there was while all four tracking numbers showed delivery.

Lo and behold the fourth wheel came days later. Lazies...

A politician in Berkley CA wants to reverse the law that bars taxes on emails. He wants to instate a tax of around 0.001 of a cent per email sent to fund the post office. That will hopefully never fly.

UPS and USPS are two different entities.
