Long story short. Ordered something express recently and vendor told me package went out on 11/18 and was delivered 11/20.
He provided the tracking number and it indeed backs this up. Problem is, tracking only provides the zip where delivered, and I have never not received a package. Sure, some were late but never marked delivered by USPS and not in hand. This includes numerous express packages, including some after this order. I live in a very large complex that has a office that excepts all packages and they do not remember any express coming in the 20th.
When I asked the vendor about contacting the post office he replied. No, they did their job, looks like you're out of luck which seems like an odd response.
Do you think it was a empty package sent somewhere else in my zip? Should I call USPS about it? Or am I just out of luck?
Call the post office about it with the tracking number if you're not worried.
