Proper action for a stolen package from a Buy/Sell/Trade transaction

On several occasions, I've received notifications that USPS deliveries were made to me, often very late in the day, when that for sure wasn't the case, but with the items actually being delivered the next day. I assume carriers are just scanning multiple items they plan on delivering but don't want to actually spend the time scanning upon each delivery. Glad the items have all arrived, so far, in such cases but of course, until I do get them, I worry that they've been mis-delivered or stolen. Very frustrating.

Seconded - I’ve had the exact same experience, also multiple times (in the last six weeks). The false “delivered” scans are always recorded as being about 5 minutes before the official close of the day they had been scanned as out for delivery, but I get the alerts at around 4 am, so I assume it has something to do with gaming the scanning system to avoid a negative mark on a delivery record or something.

Patience is a virtue.

Due to be delivered today!!! Did the seller already refund??? Glad to see your item has been relocated.

I am glad this story will (hopefully) have a good ending.

Update... I awoke today to great news...the package is “out for delivery”. The seller never did refund my payment. Thanks to all for your comments and input. Wishing everyone a happy and healthy New Year!

When you get you’re package I expect you to not apologize to the sender for this fairly dramatic presentation.

I expect you to bash him for not responding to you fast enough or at all.... during a global pandemic with the USPS short staffed experiencing extra volume during the holidays.
