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

The only package that got lost of many hundreds shipped and received in the past year was sent to China. Some arrived at their US destinations slowly, especially those days. There were issues in Florida almost all last year with USPS. Tracking is the only way to fly. Almost all USPS packages are tracked automatically. Signature required is useful for expensive items, as is insurance.
Unlike a lot of posters here I have NEVER had notice that an item has been delivered before it actually has.
Here in sleepy Florida it’s nearly always the other way round.
I will get my packages and then maybe get delivery confirmation much later that day, the next day and sometimes not at all.
Strange things happen. I had a package sent to me two days ago that showed delivered. When I looked at tracking info it showed delivered to the shipper’s address the same day it was shipped. The postal dude must’ve hit the wrong button.
I dropped at PO again about 20 minutes ago.

The guy who was supposed to deliver the package on Saturday works par time and will be back on only this coming Saturday.

But Postmaster will speak to him before then to find out what happened.
