This is a timely thread. I recently had the USPS misdeliver a Priority Mail package one block away and it's gone forever. It was a factory radio I bought on eBay for my truck, value just under $100.
I bought the item on eBay. The unit shows up, I install it and the CD player does not work. Seller claims it was fine when he shipped it but takes it back and says he'll send me a replacement. I tell him to pack it better than the first one, (lots of bubble wrap), he agrees.
Item never shows up. I ask for tracking number and sure enough, it shows delivered on the day it was supposed to be. To make a long story long, the PO has GPS technology that shows it was scanned delivered one street over from me, same number address. Some substitute carrier dropped the ball and left it on someone's front step and it's gone. The PO at first says that sender must have addressed it wrong but then comes up w a scan of the actual label and it was correct, (had my name and address).
I'm reluctant to blame the seller/sender since they did absolutely nothing wrong and furthermore, replaced the damaged unit promptly w no questions asked. The automatic insurance is only $50.00 and it's almost not worth spending any more time on this for that amount. Maybe I'll reach out to him this week, hadn't thought of going through eBay.
