Final Update The vendor has sloppy fucking handwriting, making USPS think they needed a signature. Upon using the web to request redelivery, they left it in my box. I am writing up a review on the vendor, his shit has gone downhill big time.
UPDATE I got a strange 'receipt' slip from the post office indicating they attempted to deliver within the guaranteed time frame. However, the receipt clearly shows that no signature was required, and USPS.com states that the package was not delivered due to no one being there to provide a signature.
My plan is to use USPS.com to request redelivery. I will not sign for it during redelivery. If they don't leave it, I'll wait until day 5 and go get, there's no way the cops are going to stake out the post office for a week, right?
I'm not sure what to do. About a week ago I ordered a gram of H from a vendor on EVO, with whom I've had 2 good previous transactions. This time it took him over a week to mail the package, and he sent me tracking info yesterday, which reads:
We attempted to deliver your item at 11:47 am on September 22, 2014 in <MY TOWN> and a notice was left because an authorized recipient was not available. You may arrange redelivery by visiting http://www.usps.com/redelivery or calling 800-ASK-USPS, or may pick up the item at the Post Office indicated on the notice. If this item is unclaimed after 5 days then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.
Please note that no notice was left (that I saw, anyway) I have never had to sign for this guys stuff before. I feel as though my options are to fill out the web form and say "no one will be home, please leave package". Or, to ignore this package entirely, let it go back to his PO box and dispute the sale.
I categorically refuse to sign for a package live, that is how CD's happen.
What should I do?
Another idea, postage. We just had another thread in which the reciever had to pay an additional .17 in postage as the vendor wasn't aware that postage had gone up. Message him and ask if that is the case.
