    Default Latest USPS/Paypal Jimmies rustled.

    Had some specialty electronics that was a tough sell locally, so a few months ago made a sale on related forum.

    Of course as happens lately, for some fucking reason rather than going straight to the state Goes from here to CA to back to here, to Las Vegas where it should be. From there sits mysteriously as "available for claims representative" which is from googling I guess speak for can pick it up at the local post office. Buyer checked all 3 in his area. Notta. Postal inspector acts all cool, claims due to unique packaging he could identify it on some conveyer camera. Since then (2 months) nothing.... I also filed a package locate. Never heard anything, got more out of buyer harassing them locally.

    Figured I was good since the initial blurb in paypal says I'm cool as long as I have original receipt with tracking showing sent to paypal verified address...... but now since instead of proof of mailing, the * subtext is for a not received claim (the only kind like to be filed by a buyer) I actually need proof of delivery and since USPS won't update the tracking thing as basically being in limbo good game I'm told to go try to get the money from USPS. (LOL we know how well that works usually from previous threads).

    Fuck shipping services in general we all know. (I have a by 430pm package that hasn't arrived here at 6pm either to boot) But a double get fucked ya slimy bastard paypal. Blows that so many only want to use it these days when I think it's only beneficial to scammers. (Really don't think this guys scamming just saying)



    Only hope is I can somehow get a hold of someone to make the tracking show as lost or "delivered" to the city it's lost in and that's supposedly enough to the operator to count as delivered.

    Dude...how much did you have to drink when you typed that? I'm at your story. Not at you. I can sympathize.

    Best rant on the forum in a while now.

    Just gotta read really slow and use inference? Guess I'm bad at that talk in a way that requires a lot of inference. Conversely when people talk, I often get frustrated/impatient because it feels like they are using way too many words to explain something I understood the full idea on from the first 5 words...
    Vs my phone going crazy with wrong words or missspells, when I re-read this one I didn't see any problems other than a couple missing periods, but I guess its easier when you know the whole story.

    Me too. I understood. Mostly because I'm waiting 2 weeks for a part from Arizona. According to track it has left Kentucky twice, hit Mississippi twice, and updated to not going to delivered on time. I'm curious how they stay in business.
