What do you do with this postal situation?

[mintacular]

Package says delivered to my address but it never was.... Who is in the right/wrong or who is responsible the buyer or seller? I am the buyer in this sitiuation. I'm assuming the carrier left it at the wrong house but not sure....Would you file something with eBay/paypal? Never had this happen to me. Thanks in advance....

Go to the post office first and see the geolocation of where the package was marked delivered. Some postmen seems to mark packages delivered "accidentally" and then the package shows up the following business day when they realize it's still in the truck.
Could also be package thiefs or misdelivered to a neighbor.

If it's eBay, as long as it shows delivered, the seller is off the hook. If you open a case anyways, they may also decide to refund you out of the kindness of their heart.

If this is happening to you too often, get a PO Box.

Did seller send it to the correct address?

I second going to the postoffice and asking for geolocation info. I had USPS drop off a package down the street, at an address that differed by from mine by only one number. At the post office, they pulled up the delivery info on a map and I could see exactly where it was delivered. The writting on the package was really bad, so I can kind of get the mistake by the delivery person and the people who had the package.

okay, yes it said delivered to my actual correct address

Sometimes give it a day or 2. In fact, I am dealing with stuff not delivered.
On a positive note, its not stuck in a tree via drone method.
last time I was told there were 2 drivers and the weekend driver had it, go figure.

Call your local post office, they likely can straighten it out, as mentioned all scans now have an exact GPS reading as I understand it. This happened to me not long ago and they were able to track down that they had delivered the package down the street, and retrieved it. Not sure why the neighbor didn't just bring it by but whatever. I've also received tracked packages intended for other people and unless they're across town, which has happened, I'll just drop them off myself.
