What would you do if items from Ebay had beenlost?

I ordered three vintage Nos tubes from Ebay dealer.

it is supposed to be delivered today through USPS.

I had followed three packages through USPS tracking.

About 5 PM today, I got the email that all three packages got delivered at 4.11 pm left at front door or porch of my house.

But I could not find anything around my house.

My community comprised of 25 houses seated at 2 acres each on the cul de sac.

Thus it is very unlikely that stranger pick up the packages in less than an hour.


Thus I sent a following email to my neighbors but no positive response yet.


What would you do if you were me?

I had never lost a package delivered to my house last 5 years.



thanks in advance

Thomas


Hello neighbors
I was expecting three small packages through USPS.
Then I got the email that those were delivered on my front door at 4 PM today
But I could not find them on my front doors.
Sometimes they mis deliver to my neighbors.
If you happen to see three small packages delivered to Thomas Kong on your front door or porch, then please let me know it.
thanks
Thomas

I would let the seller know that, in spite of what the USPS says, you did not receive the package, but don’t ask for a refund yet. I have on more than one occasion gotten the package delivered notice without getting the package, only to have it delivered in the next few days.

So be patient, you will probably get it. Also, the tube seller probably had it insured, so let him know, but wait a week or two before deciding it’s lost.

If you paid with Paypal or a credit card you can always get your money back that way, so no need to do anything rash.

Hopefully it will show up on Monday. In my neighborhood, USPS is notorious for updating delivery notifications the day before they actually deliver the item.

Thanks a lot Gentleman!

I will wait until Monday to see what happens!

Then I will contact Ebay dealer.

The last resort will be Paypal dispute resolution.

Same thing happened to me with UPS.  package which appeared a day or two later.  First thing would be to have head of your local post office ask the mail carrier (used to be easier). Or leave a big note fir mail carrier asking them very nicely if they know what happened.
