Sold item via Global Shipping Program - item not received by buyer

Hi, today buyer contacted me saying that that status shows delivered but buyer didn’t receive it. What should I do at this point? I’m not too familiar handling international matters.

Do you mean EIS (ebay international shipping?) as Global Shipping is no more.

 

Anyway, 

a.) EIS takes care of all items once it shows it was delivered to Illinois (was it? - if so, tell the customer that and that they need to contact EIS.

b.) the item shows 'delivered' so there's not much more you can do, or should do, for the buyer.

Once you get that delivered scan you are fine, that is the end of your portion of the transaction. You are no longer responsible if the buyer never actually received it. What you need to do is write a kindly worded message to your buyer telling them to contact their own main postal office and inquire there. They should also check with neighbors in case the package was mis delivered next door, or a kind neighbor took it in for them. That is all you can do but be respectful and kind to your buyer as they are out their money.

 

I had this same thing happen with a package I shipped to Italy using eBay's Int'l shipping program. That delivered scan was what helped me. If the buyer opens an item not received case, simply enter the tracking into the case and it will close on your behalf. Best of luck to you....

Then that is not EIS.

What carrier did you use and how (UPS; Fedex; USPS)- or did you ship on your own purchasing your own label elsewhere? (ebay does not offer DHL)

I used eBay shipping label:  Track these Packages at USPS.com: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction?tRef=fullpage&tLc=2&tLabels=9400108205499000321058

after it was delivered to ILL, a new tracking number was provided from DHL e-commerce distribution center.

DHL probably took over for the UK delivery portion.

Lift your left leg at midnight to start off on the right foot. Happy new Year!

DHL is mentioned as a third-party service provider in the eIS terms and conditions for buyers, @stainlessenginecovers :
