So, the first bidder of my MD player backed out about a month ago, so I sent a second chance offer to the next bidder and he stepped up to the plate. He was prompt to pay, but paid with a check. I said that was ok, as long as it was ok for him to wait a week or two for it to clear the bank. He said ok. It cleared, so I shipped the package out on April 10th. It was a gift, so he's having it shipped to his friend in Indonesia as a gift. I had everything ready at the post office: package, express form, customs form. etc. The total was about $20 or so, which since I don't ship express all that often, it felt normal. I kept saying it has to go Express to the lady.
So, I've also been checking the progress online, but it's never updated. So, last night I decided to take out the reciept and recheck it.....the stupid ass postal worker sent it fucking SURFACE MAIL. For those of you not in the know, the transit times are 5 days for express and 4-6 weeks for surface.
I go in today and tell the PO they screwed up, and the lady who took my package in the first place (with Express sticker and tape all over it!) was like "What do you want me to do about it?" "I look flat at her and said "This is your screw up--you tell me what you're going to do about it" So I spent an hour with the Post Master trying to figure out where the package is. All I know is that it left the country, but I don't know where it is after that. It's got a tracking number and I've got the reciept & stuff to prove I sent it out.
I was wondering if I should email the bidder with the info and ask if they had gotten it yet, and then explain the situation to them.
And I got this from him in responce:Originally Posted by achika
So, what should I do? Wait for everything to right itself? Can he really charge fraud? I've got proof & tracking numbers to back up that I've sent it out...it really was an accident.Dear Adriienne
