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 went through a period a few years back where things would get marked as delivered a day or two ahead of time. Probably the driver fudging the delivery metrics for his route. 
Give it a day or two before saying it’s missing

problem eventually solved itself - postal person probably got fired or moved to another route when it eventually caught up to them.

I utilize ‘Informed Delivery’ with the USPS, and you can inform the Post Office via the app, or online, that you did not receive the item they stated was delivered.
I believe this may have happened to me once, I clicked the ‘button’ that I had not received the item, and ‘wala’, the item was delivered the following day.

Perhaps the carrier simply made a mistake in my case, none the less, all was well in the end.

I’m not sure what recourse you may have if the the Post Office did indeed deliver it, and it came up missing.

I have another thing coming tomorrow.

I hope that they deliver them together.

Otherwise I will drop at local Post office.

My town is small so there are only two or three delivery men so it may be easier to trace the lost packages.

I will also ask "signature required" for next delivery.

It is very unlikely that someone stole the package in 30 minutes in my small and isolated community.
