I'm not sure how assuming and expecting the worst makes a situation any better. The post office will redeliver. The buyer can phone them. There are plenty of good potential outcomes from this situation.

Also don't assume that it's literally the "receptacle" that's blocked.  I've seen that scan message when it was my street itself that was unplowed and preventing the carrier from delivering. Clearly when the receptacle can't be reached, it's impossible to leave  a pickup slip.  The package was delivered the next day.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

The phrase tongue-in-cheek is a figure of speech that describes a statement or other expression that the speaker or author does not mean literally, but intends as humor or otherwise not seriously.

Sheesh!!!!!!!

I live in the northeast and have been slammed with snow. Just trying to insert some fun into this snowy situation. Chill out (see - humor - snow - chill )

Yeah, I live in New England. I have snow. I am tired of winter and snow. I also am tired of seeing sellers make negative comments about buyers here every day. It's far past old.

Sellers make their money from buyers. To make negative assumptions and/or comments about them is disrespectful and rude IMHO. Buyers read these boards too. Every day I'm seeing more and more reasons why sellers are reporting fewer sales and less income.

Most people are good. If anyone, buyer or seller disagrees with that, they have no business on Ebay.

I get you @4post4me 

I don't think you were trying to slam buyers.

If the mailbox itself isn't cleared, then all of us need a reminder to

make sure the shipping providers can actually deliver what we've ordered.

Thanks @hollysfinds. I was beginning to think there were no signs of intelligent life on this planet!

Wow. You can mask something in jest but your true message shines through.

[berserkerplanet]

Yep. True nature has a way of showing through.

Denis Leary pretty much covered it in his 1993 song

Thanks for posting this. I forgot that snow exists and was wondering why a couple of packages hadn't been shipped to me. Here it's going to be close to 80 today with no humidity. South Florida weather this time of year can be horrible. The other day it was 48 in the morning, everyone had to put on their heavy jackets.

Shovel them or get a can of spray paint...
