Hi folks. Have any of you ever encountered a shipping problem when using USPS Priority? I remember shipping via first class for years before getting into the world of pool and never seemed to have a problem. Now all of a sudden with a fairly large trade on the line, a package has gone AWOL and from the tracking number appears to have just left the post office... only that scan was days ago and the package itself was supposed to arrive on this previous Saturday.
I called the customer service line and they sent up a query to the post offices that were to be handling it. The destination post office manager called me back saying they haven't received it and that there was very little they could do, so they suggested I call the office I delivered the package to in the first place. I called over there this morning and the guy seemed nice enough but said it was odd that another scan was never made. He said it looks like it ended up in a container used for shipping hundreds of other items and that it looked like the other items in the container arrived eventually. He said he's looking into it and should get back to me within the next day or two... He said there was a fairly good chance that the package would be found and either returned to me or carried on its way to its destination.
While he sounded reassuring, I can't help but think "oh crap... this is my first big trade and what if something happened to my end that was sent?" Everything was wrapped up in bubble-wrap like fort knox so I don't know what could have happened. Has anyone else had trouble like this?
