SeeMoreGlass Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Alright, so I ordered the RSD releases from No Sleep,(special covers 1/50) they shipped and everything but never showed up on my doorstep,apparently though according to the tracking number they were delivered to my house. This is impossible because I was home all day and would have heard the door open (cause she places them between the screen door and the front door) like I always do. So I emailed the post office and recieved this E-mail Thank you for contacting us concerning the delivery of your parcel on 5/4/2011. I checked with the carrier who delivered your route on Wednesday, 5/4/2011. She stated she left the parcel between your screen door and your front door. This is where she always leaves your parcels. If you can not locate the parcel, unfortunately the Postal Service is not responsible for the replacement of the article. You can file a police report for the stolen item(s). Once you get a copy of the police report, you can go online and file a report with the Postal Inspection Office. You will need the police report number. I also contacted Chris from No Sleep, but there really isn't much he can do about it since he did everything he was supposed to. I realize now I am just shit out of luck, but seriously...where the fuck are my records?!?!?!?!? Has anyone else ever experienced something like this?

popquizkid Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I mailed back a broken GPS watch through USPS. Then a few weeks later I got the package returned to me opened saying that the contents were missing and that I could "file a complaint with the post office to see if they ever find it." My only consolation is that the watch was broken which was why I was sending it back to the company and I also called Garmin and told them not to repair a watch with that serial number. Short version is that the USPS are a bunch of crooks and you should try to get insurance/delivery confirmation on anything you care about. This has never happened to me with records but I wouldn't put anything past the USPS. I feel your pain, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genuma Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Happened to me with a video game years ago. No clue if it was the mailman, or in a more likely instance my neighbors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeMoreGlass Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 sorry to hear that man, that's terrible. yeah man, I am super bummed right now, especially because these records really aren't replaceable because of their rarity Ive seen people flipping these on ebay too, going for like 50 bucks each...it sucks because I actually just wanted them to listen to...

suchashorttime Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 just a longshot, but check the shipping address you have entered on no sleep. if there is no error, do a google map search for addresses identical to yours. i know there are 3 houses with my address in like a 5 square mile radius, and even though we're all technically in different towns, the occasional package / letter get delivered to the wrong address. also ask some neighbors if they accidentally received them. i'm bummed for you and want you to find them! good luck!

Thanks for the suggestions man, I already double checked the shipping address and stuff, but will definetly talk to my neighbors about it...

atarirec Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 i can totally relate... i live in a townhouse and the mailboxes are centrally located. when a large parcel can't fit in the standard personal mailbox they generally put a key in your mailbox for the larger mailboxes. in short, i've received other people's keys and their packages... and i've had many, many parcels never delivered. i've found my records (parcels) on top of other people's mailboxes and visa versa. thankfully, i have honest neighbors. depending how you paid, you may be able to get the funds back. whether it's with Paypal (as long as it's within 45 days of transaction date) or your financial institution (within 60-90 days of trans date), advise them that you "paid for such and such item on this date, i never received the item, i contacted the merchant on such and such date... i am unable to resolve with the merchant". they'll process a chargeback with the merchant and the merchant has about 55 days or so to represent the chargeback. no representation... you get your money back. if they do represent, the merchant will provide documentation stating "per USPS's delivery confirmation, it was delivered on said date." you'll have a time frame to submit a rebuttal letter, in which you advise them you never received the item. however, it does vary between financial institutions, whether they charge off the amount after the merchant receives your rebuttal and doesn't accept the transaction... file a dispute and hold your ground.

srcvinyl Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I see this happen maybe once every 2,000 orders! USPS tells us it was shipped to the customer. Customer says they never received it. We of course believe the customer. You file a dispute, they come back and say because its shipped there is nothing they can do. Also, check out this tracking number!

Guest Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 We get mail for a house a few streets over with the same numeric address, and a completely different street name. I'm usually nice and drop it off to them when I have time. Something similar could be happening to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Sorry to hear this. I had mail and packages going missing when I lived in Brooklyn and they did nothing until a check book I was sent went missing and wound up with checks being written to a postal employee with my signature forged. Even with all that evidence it was like pulling teeth to get a postal inspector to give two shits. My bank thankfully pushed the fraud and refunded me my money since they caught the transactions quick enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxxg Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Wow, that fucking sucks so bad. I'd drop good money on both of those since I was out at stores when those were sold. I especially want the B&C....I hope you get refunded or get your records somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariawithoneeye Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 when I purchased Rx Bandits- The Resignation from Nerdalert that happened to me. The tracking # said delivered but they usually put the vinyl in between the screen and door and nothing. The USPS doesn't give a flying fuck so I ended up talking to Nerdalert and they replaced it for me because they were nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum7 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 There was awhile where UPS was delivering my stuff to random houses on my block. Not with similar numbers mind you, just random houses. Correct address was on the packages and everything. One was a lawnmower, huge box, luckily the people down the street were honest and left us a note that they had gotten it by mistake. Another one I watched the UPS guy stop and drop it off. I walked down to the house he was at, looked at the address on the package and sure enough it was the one my wife was waiting for. I'd check with neighbors if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmyg Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Must be a bit different over here, but usually if you're not in they just leave a card and leave the package at the local Royal Mail for you to pick up later. Would suck for your stuff to go missing though, must be really pissed off. My old mailman was obviously too lazy to take stuff back to the Post Office, he used to just leave them on my patio under a table, in clear view of anybody who walked past the path next to my house. Luckily he stopped delivering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 my post lady would ring the doorbell when ever she would leave something between the screen door and the front door, to avoid anybody coming by and snatching the item from my doorstep. does yours not do this?

Really? Make the label give you money back when it was clearly the fault of USPS? Not cool. this is exactly what i was thinking. i've been lucky. i've only had one packaged not delivered, and it was due to a ebay seller who was shotty and my laziness to not file a claim in time. lucky it was only for $10. my usps guy at my apt was always awesome. he'd always just leave my records at my back door and if it was too hot, he'd leave a note and just leave them at the post office. he was super cool and we'd always talk about records because he knew what they were so he was always super careful with mine. always received my records in good shape. the one time i received a record broken, it was in a bubble mailer and he apologized for it being broken and that's how he received it. totally cool guy. gave him a $50 visa card on christmas one year because of his awesomeness. the new one i have i'm indifferent about. while i've never received anything broken or what not, i've never met the dude, so i don't know how he is.

What's your deal dude, this is over an order with a small record label, not fucking Amazon or some faceless company to whom $20 or so means nothing. Filing a dispute when something gets lost and you paid for media mail is a huge douche move in my opinion, it's not the label's fault at all. It doesn't hurt to think about other factors besides yourself and whether or not you lose out on a little money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjaicomo Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 When I lived in Gainesville, I had a ton of problems with my mail. Several things were misplaced. All but one (the Ben Fold's signed Way to Normal boxset) was lost for all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
