Non-delivery/severe delay on a BST transaction

I want to add I have bought from Brian before too. Package arrived in a timely manner and well packaged. Very smooth transition.

This issue has happened to us 3 times over the last few months and we ship out many packages, daily. 1 of the problem packages was 37 days for a Priority! Follow up and get your local USPS to help start the research process. My guess is the package shows up shortly after the USPS starts the process.
Yes, shipper is still responsible but hope recipent is understanding and patient while the process plays out

The same has happened to me twice. Both times package showed it had arrived at the Earth City MO facility ( and maybe departed facility) then nothing for a couple months both times. I was patient. Items arrived fine.

Yes, the USPS is a Federal Agency (Quasi), so Congress is in charge of it.

Another old saying "I'm from the government and I am here to help". When you hear that you know you will be bottle-necked in red tape for the next 6 months.

I have no dog in this fight, but disagree that in all cases the seller assumes the risk of loss. Each case is different and must be negotiated prior to finishing the transaction. The seller could offer to insure the package only if the buyer pays the insurance cost. If the buyer turns this down then risk of loss must be borne by the buyer. I have dealt with Brian many times in the past and each time we have discussed this very issue and I have paid the insurance. BTW, Brian is a great counterparty and always a pleasure to deal with.

For me the only way the seller does not assume the loss is if the buyer requests it sent a cheaper way like in a PWE.

Jay I send payment TTM most of the time. If my payment doesn't show up would you still send me the cards even though my payment didn't show up?

I am sure we all agree Brian is a good guy.

Insurance protects the seller.

If the buyer does decline insurance then they should bear responsibility but PayPal does not see it that way. PayPal (If paid by G&S) will refund the buyer if package was lost.

No one is questioning Brian's integrity.
