Am I Out Of Luck ...

I recently bought this T206 off of eBay. The seller mailed the card using USPS tracking, but not insured. Here are the five most recent scans that show up on the USPS web site regarding the tracking number:

Needless to say, the card made it to the post office and was attempted to be delivered, but my work place (Business Closed) is closed on Saturday's. As a side note, I have all my cards shipped to my work place. It has been almost two weeks since the first (and only) delivery attempt, and the card has not been delivered. I have made about 6 trips to the post office to see if the card has showed up or any updated status, with no luck. For some reason they have a picture of the package, which they showed me, just not the actual package. The usual mail carrier has also checked with other business within the area to see if it was accidentally delivered there, with no luck on that.

I have contacted the seller of the card (through eBay) letting them know what was going, just in case the card ended up being sent back to them. Expressing to them that I am still wanting the card.

As a last resort, I plan on visiting the local "brick and mortar" card shop tomorrow (April 8) to see if maybe someone took the package and is trying to sell the card to them.

Guessing that since there was no insurance on the package, I can't file a claim for undelivered mail, even though the track number shows the package was never delivered, and that I'm out the cost of the card plus shipping.


Thanks,
