Default Possible stolen cards via USPS- Cards found!

Won these two cards in the recent Sterling auction. USPS tracking shows that these were delivered to my mailing address at 2:40 P.M. Only problem is that I was at that address at that time, in full view of the mailbox and not only did I never see a package, I didn't see a mail carrier either. Please let me know if any of you see them on Ebay, etc. Thanks.

Hopefully you're just jumping the gun here. There are probably several different reasons that the tracking is off from actual delivery.

Was that 2:40PM today? If so it could get delivered later today or tomorrow. Some carriers when running behind will scan stuff delivered before they actually deliver it. I have a couple friends that do it all the time. One delivers to my house so I have all my cards sent to my business address just so they don't touch my mail.

Hope this works out for you. I didn't have cards stolen, but recently I sent my passport in for renewal and someone along the way (a person employed by the post office) slit the package open and stole my expiring passport. Can't trust anyone anymore.

Wow that was only like an hour ago. I think you're panicking way too soon. Granted they're not my cards and my money but you need to wait a little bit to see how it plays out

Ive had this happen multiple times with USPS delivery. Tracking will show "delivered". Then they show up the next day.

Thanks for the replies. Definitely jumped the gun. Turned out to be a minor mailing issue. Sterling got back to me quickly. Cards were recovered unharmed. I've heard a lot of horror stories about cards going missing in the mail, so I panicked. Whew! Everything is ok now.

Sometimes you don't have to go to a massage parlor to get a happy ending. Glad it worked out!!
