This may be a little confusing but...July 9th I ordered something fairly low cost. Days went by and I never got a notice of shipment so I asked the seller what was going on. No answer. Days went by and I contacted the seller again and asked if the item was even shipped yet and what the story is with it. I told him that this doesn't look good and if it doesn't get to me, I will report it. Two days later on 7/17 I got it, it was shipped from Amazon. I ordered from ebay, not Amazon so I was annoyed about that and the lack of communication but I still got it.
That day I got a notice from ebay that the item was shipping and got a tracking number for USPS. Friday, I got a notice that the USPS tried to deliver it to my box but couldn't and they left a notice in my box (there was none). Yesterday I got a notice that it had been delivered. I went to USPS tracking and it showed the item being shipped, attempted delivery (9:08 am which is way before they deliver mail here), and then it said it was delivered yesterday and was picked up at the post office.
There was nothing shipped a second time, no attempt to actually deliver to my mail box, and I never went to the post office to claim it....so how did this tracking number even work like this? How did the post office supposedly try to deliver a package that I already had and then how did they supposedly deliver it to someone?
I mean, I already got it so whatever but I am confused how this whole tracking thing could have worked.

Perhaps the seller realized there had been a mistake with the shipment after you contacted the seller, and that the first shipment was not addressed correctly and would not be delivered to you as intended.
If the seller then ordered a separate shipment from Amazon, that might explain why you received something from Amazon two days later, and also why the original tracking number did not show delivery.
