USPS has lost my package what are my legal rights, what can I do about it?

Question

USPS has done this to me numerous times in the past. I placed an order on eBay with a seller that I know to be reputable and who notified me when my order shipped. No they did not provide me with a tracking number. What are my legal rights and what can I do about this situation? The value of the merchandise is trivial but I spent my hard earned money on it none the less. This angers me very much if the USPS was a private company they couldn't get away with this bull****.

Answer 1

First they have to retrace every thing, once that is done get a confirmation of it and report it to the company that you ordered from, most will replace it or UPS has to replace it.

Answer 2

This is why I ALWAYS get insurance for ebay stuff.

Answer 3

did you insure it? Seems to me, with the experience you describe, you would have learned your lesson by now.

Answer 4

get insurance

Answer 5

I never have that problem because I insist on a Tracking number. You can file a report with the Post Office but Good luck with that.

Answer 6

Sorry, you are *OL
