OK, so, I have a customer in North Carolina that I sent an item to just over two weeks ago. Tracking shows that the sorting center in Greensboro, NC re-routed it to Baltimore, Maryland, where it got turned around and routed back to Greensboro, NC.... I am pretty sure that Greensboro is my customer's local sorting center. Anyway, if you search via google, there are a LOT of complaints about the Greensboro sorting center getting packages mis-routed and such.
Fast forward to this morning, and I have a message from the customer. Mind you, this package has been in the mail since 2 hours after the customer ordered it on March 20th. Here is part of the message:
"Two Estimated Delivery Dates have come and gone and I still haven't received the Item I ordered and paid for on March 20th. Where is my Item? Do I have to open a Case with ebay over a $10.99 Item and post the appropriate negative Feedback?"
So, I sent them a message and explained that they could click on the tracking number provided and see exactly where their package is and that I can't do anything with it once the Postal Service has it in their hands. My question is, should I hang on to this message from the customer and does it qualify as feedback extortion if the customer continues to be irate? I HOPE they calm down and actually look at the tracking information and can understand that I did my part as best as I could. I've just never had a customer come at me like this before....

Well, I don't really know if he was able to find out any info or not, but it showed up at his place a couple days ago, so he's happy now, fortunately. And he left me good feedback as well.
