Postal Failure ( X 2)

I hope they somehow show up. That really stinks.

Bummer.

Seems like Amazon will always refund NQA. We had a shipment go missing several years back—UPS, not USPS— and they refunded us. However, it finally showed up a few months later; we had forgotten what it was. That was before Amazon was using their own delivery here. Since then, nothing has ever been late or missing from them.

As for ebay... Late? Yes. Missing? Not yet. At least tracking always shows where it was stuck.

Can only reflect on my own experience... I'm a somewhat frequent buyer on ebay, and a low volume seller too--have been for several years averaging around 18-20 transactions monthly, and those transactions involve the USPS. Over the last two years, I had one hiccup with USPS as a seller--item was misdelivered. Fortunately, the item was 'recovered' and properly delivered the next day. One other item was routed across the entire eastern seaboard, and was finally delivered to the buyer 10 days after it was mailed (should have been a 3-4 day event per USPS standards at the time).

As a buyer, I've had one item 'disappear'--never received. Seller made good on the issue and all was well. All-in-all, my USPS experience has been decent. Wish I could say the same about UPS (a few misdeliveries and two packages broken into/items removed while in transit) and FedEx (a few more misdeliveries).

I've had numerous experiences with both Fedex and UPS delivering my packages to one of my 3 neighbors. I've been able to retrieve them. USPS until recently has been the most reliable. Just a couple months ago I'm sitting here waiting on my mail (2 ebay packages). I get the email from ebay that my packages were delivered. Get out to mailbox...only 1 package. Check informed delivery, shows both delivered. I chase down the carrier who said I only had one package, and my neighbor had one. She had to turn around and go get my package out of neighbors box.

My regular mail carrier told me she's hoping for a new PostMaster General. She said The current one is using trains and trucks (no planes) to move mail. That could explain the chaos. Day 7 since last scan (after filing missing mail claim) and nothing further showing on informed delivery....

Here's a typical routing experience in my locality : Arrives in Memphis, visits 3 different postal locations, departs & visits Olive Branch, MS, then back to 2 Memphis locations, still traveling around with no expected delivery date ...

...this item left Florida, should have gone to Memphis (2 days), then to me in Germantown TN (one day later) ...

Another Postal Failure. This was supposed to be here yesterday. Was at my post office yesterday and now has traveled south of me.
