Re: Available for Pickup?

I am dealing with this now.

An item I purchased was shipped, a notice was never left, I checked the tracking and it said

out for delivery, then Available for Pickup, I went to the PO and they said they can't find the package.

The post master told me they use the term  Available for Pickup when you have a PO BOX and the package is too large to fit in the box, so they leave a slip that states Available for Pickup in your PO Box.

 

I filed a case and it was ruled in the sellers favor,

They said the seller provided tracking info that  the item was delivered.

I never recived the item or a refund---Ebay buyer protection let me down.Pay Pay was to be paid on delivery.

I called several times and was told that was their policy.

I have made a complaint to the BBB.

Then it shoulf have never said ...out for delivery.......if it never left the post office.

 

Go back to the PO and demand the post master find the box........

other wise he's no MASTER of anything...

Re: Available for Pickup?

My guess is it's at the post office and available for you to pick it up.

Everyone has options. Just be sure the best option is right for you.

Re: Available for Pickup?

The crooks/incompetents at your local post office stole/lost it, why hold it against the seller or eBay?? Hold your Postmaster accountable!
