At 3:34 P.M. on June 15th I purchased eBay item #160248166190 for a Hulk 6 @ CGC 7.0 ( LINK ) . The seller who 100% impeccable feedback only accepted MO and personal checks; no PayPal. I didn’t have a problem with this because the book was so nice (kept in a private collection for 4 years) and the seller and I had corresponded several times before the auctions end about me winning it. Needless to say with me being called on the spur of the moment from a dealer needing help setup for the Heroes convention I wasn’t able to get the money order out until Friday (6/20/08). I knew there was 7 day deadline so I expressed mailed it to him to make sure that it got by Saturday at 3 o’clock P.M. So he shoots me an e-mail on Saturday night stating that the money order arrived and that the book is packed and will be shipped out on Monday morning. Ok. So Monday morning arrives and he shoots me a tracking number. Everything looks good until 4 o’clock today when the tracking number states: Undeliverable as Addressed, June 23, 2008, 12:30 pm, Charlotte, NC 28277. I had already noticed something was up because nothing arrived in the mail around 2:30 PM today. I was astonished to find this out. I immediately called the 1-800 USPS number where they were quite rude, but finally gave me the number to my local post office. After giving them some information they told me that currier never receive such package. The said they would check through the other mail and get back with me, and if I liked I could come by tomorrow morning. I was –through eBay- able to get in touch with the seller who seemed like a very kind guy. We reviewed the address over 3 times and my address was identical to where the package was supposed to be shipped. Evidently this wasn’t the problem. He calmed me down and told me that the package was fully insured with a tracking number so we had nothing to worry about. He said it probably would be returned to him and he would call me immediately when it arrived. USPS won’t tell me where the package is right now. I am willing to submit driver’s license, birth certificate, even blood sample to identify my name with the package so that it will not be shipped back to Massachusetts. I am kind of nervous about this whole thing, and I need some advice. I want my book that I paid for. Please help.

Just wait. There really is nothing that anyone on the boards can do to help you. Have some ice cream or something and relax.

I've had packages sent to me where the info on the tracking site was just completely wrong, but the package arrived eventually.

 

Also have had items I've sent that were addressed 100% correctly, and they still came back as "bad address; undeliverable."

 

It will show up at your end, or back at his where he can re-send it. I wouldn't get too upset yet.

Weird. I received a HULK 6 CGC 7.0 in the mail today that I never bought. I figured it was my late Secret Santa gift. :banana:

was it as true tracking number (Express mail) or one of those "worthless" delivery confirmation #'s?....if it was a tracking #, the USPS could tell you where it is (you can too, by checking www.usps.com)... if it is a dc #, you cannot track it accurately, only the last place it was scanned (if it was scanned)...insurance is the only protection, so luckily, he fully insured, you will be fine...

If it's fully insured, probably your biggest problem (worst case scenario) would be waiting on the refund. Even if that happens, you'll get your money back. The post office isn't going to want to pay out that kind of claim...it'll probably turn up somewhere (either your place or the senders) in a few days.

Similar happened to trmoore a few months back. In his case it was the wrong suite or something but in the end he got his book. Like everyone says...take a chill pill, dude.

 

Take the advice Samuel L. Jackson told the coffee-shop robber to tell his girl-friend Hunny-Bunny during the robbery in Pulp Fiction... :devil:

 

Seriously, if there is an insurance # you can go into your local post office and they can tell you EXACTLY where the package is...GL
