On November 15th I dropped off 49 packages in the back of the post office and handed the worker my scan sheet. I watched him scan it and left without getting a receipt. Every single one of those packages ended up on my "item not sent on time" or "delivered late" report with eBay even though I watched him scan the sheet. It took me forever going back and forth with ebay trying to get them removed. I went up to the post master's office and spoke with him 3 times getting a letter from him and more information about what could have happened. He said it was an area glitch where none of the scans from that day in the St. Louis area showed as accepted at all. So they went and sat at a sorting facility for around 2-weeks then before getting another scan. When it finally received another scan it made it look like it was the origination scan.
Fast forward to January 2nd, this past Saturday. Ever since that happened to me I wait in line to get a receipt for my packages. I shipped of 30 this Saturday and got the receipt. The same thing has happened again. They are all stuck in pre-shipment info, every single one of them.
Just wanted to give people a heads up. I don't know if this just in my area, I'm in St. Louis Missouri area. And I'm not sure how this is even possible. The receipt has all the information on it, shows they were all scanned received. Now I have to message all my buyers from that day and explain that I have a receipt but it shows USPS is not in possession of the item. I was on the up-tick of feeing more hopeful with them after the new year, but alas, the air has just been let out of my balloon.
