Do not ship! Repeat, do not ship any orders to this address:
****
****
This is a scammer's lair serving low-brow alien online shopping looters.
They have developed a way to dodge any delivery scan.
Most of the packages sent to this address will not receive a delivery scan, which will increase the likelihood of refunds for non-delivery.

I will not ship any orders to this address anymore and will block all buyers from this address.

Unless you made your shipping with signature confirmation they do not have the ability to not have a delivery scan. Most who use this service has no problems so please no blanket statements.

Well, it's not a blank statement.
I have a massive amount of data to back this up.
You can continue shipping to this address, but I will not.

OK, good luck canceling orders. Ebay frowns upon that.

Yes, me too, just shrug my shoulders at eBay.
If most of the packages cannot get delivery scan, no platforms will protect sellers.
I'd better manage my own risk rather than holding high hopes from eBay.

By which carrier?
What if the package is insured?

Is it the address of a freight forwarder? I've never had a problem with orders when buyers used those.

Delivery scans are done by the shipping service, not the receiver. If the items are not getting scanned, the shipping service is the one to blame.

Thanks for your post. Some feel otherwise, but we are free to have our opinions here as you did.

It's a freight forwarder.
Every one of those has a few bad apples among their customers.
Forwarders are the second safest addresses we can ship to, since most of the Money Back Guarantee does not apply to shipments that are received by forwarders.

Let me put it this way, they have insiders collaborating in this kind of scam.
As for the methods, I won't state them here to avoid more scammers learning.
If you really want to know, try shipping to this address, and you'll gradually understand.
Last but not least, I'd better manage my own risk rather than holding high hopes from eBay.

Receievers can't dodge delivery scans.
Whatever carrier you are using isn't doing their job and you should file a complaint with the carrier you paid to perform a service.

Oddly this freight forwarder appears to be inside a WalMart Superstore. Usually they are in strip malls near air or sea ports.

Really? This is the photo I found of the that address, and it's just what one would expect:

I have had an issue or two with a Miami freight forwarder address in past years.
They could somehow get the shipment headed back to the USPS distribution center and from there it would never receive another scan. This happened in the middle of the week. It was like it received a "not able to deliver scan" on one day, then a scan as back to the distribution center scan and then poof, nothing more.
And of course, recently, FF's have been getting the old USPS, "delivered to agent for final delivery" scans that eBay did or still does not recognize as a delivery scan that forum member wastingtime was working for a long time. Sellers were having to go back in and appeal the INR's buyers were filing.
My bottom line for freight forwarder addresses is they get UPS as the carrier and if the shipment is worth more than $100 or so, a signature is required by me.
The FF's and buyers can't play that game with UPS. When UPS delivers it, the scan is the same, delivered, and eBay recognizes as, delivered.
