The carrier admitted she made a mistake and was doing everything possible to get my package. She said, that my house and the wrong delivery house on another street are next to each other when she sorts the mail in her truck. They would not tell me the address that the GPS provided because they were afraid I going to go over there and raise heck.

I take it they opened your package and wasn't going to say anything.

The package was unopened. If the mail carrier had not gone to the door asking for the package, I most likely would not have recovered the coin.

 That's great news that you ultimately received it undamaged! If I lost a Barber coin in the mail...  |

Good for the carrier, to try to fix her mistake -- and double-good for succeeding! A shame that whoever received the package by accident didn't make some effort to get it to you themselves. I would have done that, or at least put it back through USPS to try again. Interesting about the GPS tracking, too.

The mail carrier is to scan the package at the mailbox and the GPS can pin point the address of the scan This is good to know, because one of my packages was lost when tracking said "delivered" at my office about a year ago. I went to my local USPS but they really couldn't do anything for me, and asked me if the package was insured. It was not! Luckily, I had the footage from my security camera looking at the front door, and I produced video footage & picture of the mail carrier holding no package on the date it said delivered. After searching at the Post Office, they found it in the back. I have no grudge against mail carriers. They do a difficult job and I'm appreciative of them. But these things happen and you had no recourse, until now(GPS). I would have been out of a computer part that was $300. I now have cameras in my house too. Nice Barber, by the way..

About a month ago, a USPS package was delivered to the office suite next door to mine. The receptionist signed for my package (at the wrong address). She place the package on their countertop on that Friday afternoon and closed early. When I tracked the package, it showed "delivered". When the package was missing from my office, I went to the suites in our building. All of the suites were closed for the weekend. The tracking information showed that it was delivered to my address. On Monday, I checked again the other suites again. The receptionist next door admitted that she signed for the package and left it on their countertop. But, she did not know where it was! The story gets better... The seller contacted me that weekend to tell me that he thinks he sent me the wrong roll of Morgan dollars along with the $33 face of silver quarters (around $400 value). I told him the package was missing but it was showing delivered. He actually insured the package for $900. After several days of asking all of the suites in my building and the building next door, the package finally appeared on Wednesday of that week. Indeed the seller sent the wrong Morgans! what a mess! I really don't know if I would have had a claim if the package went missing. I really don't know what USPS would have done since the receptionist next door signed for a package at the wrong address. The experience was so stressful that I have been very reluctant buy anything since then. |

Since it was signed for USPS would have been off the hook. And potentially the receptionist would have been on the hook since she signed for it. You would have had to try to get satisfaction from them.

It's funny how once the word got out that I was looking for a package, it suddenly appeared. It actually crossed my mind that someone was suspicious that the "heavy" box contained something other than coins. I work in a medical complex and the box could have easily been X-rayed. Paranoia right? I just remember the receptionist next door saying to me with a funny look on her face "The package was really heavy!". At least the OP and I had a happy ending. I mean the packages finally appeared! The coin life is good!

This happens so much. Carriers tend to read the numbers but don't focus enough on the street name.
