What would you do ?

If I were you I would try to reach a Postal Inspector. They will be interested in fraud with a registered package.

If you believe you've been targeted by a scam involving the U.S. Mail, you can get help by contacting your nearest Postal Inspection Service office in one of three ways: Call 1-877-876-2455.

Will do thank you.

I haven't been in this situation as the seller but I have been in a similar situation as a buyer and can share how that seller handled things.

I purchased a very inexpensive ($180) item from a major auction house that I had previously spent over 10K with over the years. The item never made it to me but showed up as "delivered" in the postal system. However, this item did not carry any kind of signature confirmation and there was no way to prove delivery other than a person marked it as delivered.

The AH refused to refund me because "it was delivered" and when I asked them why THEY didn't purchase signature confirmation, they said it was because the item wasn't high value enough and effectively made it MY problem.

I will never purchase anything from them again.

However, in this situation a person DID sign for the item, acknowledges they received it, the postal service acknowledges there were no issues with the package at any point, so I don't think you have any obligation or that there is anything necessarily to "right" about what happened, especially since this person isn't even sure there is a problem by refusing to look in the box.

This happened to me a few years back on eBay, I think on like a $150 card. I used to get stuff delivered at my mailroom at work, never had a problem in years until this one, probably on hundreds of packages that went off without a hitch. It got scanned “delivered”, but when I went to pick it up, the mailroom guys didn’t have it. Between the carrier and mailroom guys, I’m about 90% sure someone saw an opportunity guessing what it was and just pocketed my item. There was no sig confirmation, but a postal person tried to get me a GPS location on the scan, which I was eventually told sorry - the loading dock concrete there means they couldn’t get a GPS location. Uh huh. Never had stuff mailed to work again after that.

To my surprise, even though it showed delivered, eBay DID stand up for me and refunded me anyway. I’m guessing they would not do that repetitively, but it was nice to just be taken care of that way after I opened a case, with really not many questions asked.
