Sent card using DC.

Card goes from Indiana to California in 2 days.

Card is processed all the way to "Out for delivery". Yay!

Now it is stuck in some space/time continuum in which it hasn't been actually delivered.

I'm screwed right?

*edit* There is a DC God!

Re: USPS Delivery Confirmation ? Please confirm my thinking...

It might have been scanned too soon. If it says out for delivery for more than 3 days, you might have an issue.

Well not really. Are you sure the buyer does not have them since this is for a package I bought. And I have the cards and have had them for about 10 days now.

Was it insured for over $200? If so the person whom purchased the card has yet to sign for it. I often pick up mail 2 times per week and my DC on ebay often show this "Out for delivery" until then.

Re: USPS Delivery Confirmation ? Please confirm my thinking...

You might want to check the number directly on the USPS site too. I believe I had something similar happen once. I think the info was different on the eBay site than on USPS. I could be wrong though.

The only reason I remember this is because on eBay, it said some cards hadn't been picked up yet at USPS by a seller who had to sign for it. I emailed him and he said he already had them. I believe I verified it on USPS and it showed up correctly there.

Re: USPS Delivery Confirmation ? Please confirm my thinking...

I did not insure it and I copied the status of the package straight off the USPS website. The buyer was the one who contacted me about this issue. I saw that the package was out for delivery, so I assumed that it was getting delivered that day. I never checked back to see that an issue had popped up.

Re: USPS Delivery Confirmation ? Please confirm my thinking...

I just caught the mail lady and had her re-scan the package so told me it should have shown delivered already and I
told her it has been a few days and nothing changed.

Hopefully this is the case with the package you have sent. I did received 2 packages over the past 3 years, about a year later
after they were shipped out. :eek:

Re: USPS Delivery Confirmation ? Please confirm my thinking...

Are you using the delivery confirmation through Ebay? I sold a card and added delivery confirmation # to ebay. I checked on it every now and then by using the ebay link and it said Out For Delivery for like a couple of days. I thought that was weird so I entered the DC number directly into the USPS site and it was delivered the same day it went out for delivery. Guess it was some kind of glitch where Ebay wasn't updating.

If I'm dealing with a dishonest seller he could be getting the card for free. USPS messes up, doesn't scan the DC# at delivery. He contacts me and says, "hey I didn't get it!"

All I can do is grin and refund payment.
:evil:

It's my fault for not insuring it.

Re: USPS Delivery Confirmation ? Please confirm my thinking...

Often, ca usps workers do NOT scan items when they’re actually delivered, only when they’re ‘out for delivery’. There’s been a big stink about it b/c buyers can scam people this way + supposedly, USPS is cracking down on workers who don’t scan @ delivery. It may also be a case of the item’s still on the truck or taken back to the po + usps didn’t leave a slip for the guy to go to the po to sign for it.

You can try calling usps/asking them to talk to the carrier about the package. You can try filing a mail theft report. But bottom line is, only sig conf protects you…and that assumes the carrier GETS the sig….not all carriers do. Best thing to do is put a big sticker on the package saying “PLEASE SCAN AT DELIVERY” or send w/sig conf.

Funny now that I see this thread on FP, I remember I just had a small box get missent going to Maine. Oddly enough, it made it to Maine 3 days after mailing, did a U-Turn and got "missent" down to New Hampshire the next day, and returned to Maine for delivery 3 days later.

Dc and tracking numers are not worth SQUAT!!!!!!!!!!! 3 years ago when i lived in Mississippi i won a 93 finest refractor PSA 10 of Juan Gonzalez $265 was sent insured with a DC and tracking number! 1 week later and no card. i tracked it and it was delivered! B>S>. i told ebay paypal and the USPS. they all said it was delivered and they all called me a lier in not so many words. then 3 days later a guy comes to my house and said he got a package that was prob, mine. we both had the same last name! my address was 32 county road 125. his address was 125 county road 32! the mail lady had scanned the package as delivered! i thanked him and treated him to breakfast!

This happened 7 times in the next 3 months the last time i got his and had to sign for it and show my I.D. i went inside the house and opened it and it was a 1880 CC Morgan dollar graded NGC MS69!! it was worth BOCOO BUCKS! i did not order or win this. i looked at the box and it had my cross town new found friends first name.i called him and we met at the post office this time and raised PURE HELL! we had both kept the packages that were miss delivered. the last was the frosting on the cake. i looked at the supersviser of the post office and said " remember me from 3 months ago and told you i was missing a package and you called me a lire in not so many words you f.en. dick head a-hole what do ya have to say now jack offffff "
icon_twisted.gif
he said i could not talk to him that way. i told him to f-off and do his f-en job and look into shat instead of eating donuts sitting on his fat ass in the back room. we both flipped him off and left. he took me to dinner!

1 month later the male carrier was arested and charged with running a meth lab!

sooooo i would say your F...ED~!
