NEED ADVICE: Suspicious tracking. Details in text.

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.

It happens sometimes (at least with Royal Mail) where they claim to have delivered when no one's home but there's been no slip left for whatever reason.

In the case of CD's, can any Americans tell me if you have to go to the Post Office to pick it up because there's no option for re-delivery?

Personally I would go and get it and sign if needed as I think the risks are overstated with signing but then I don't live in the US with crazy drug laws and CD's. If you're unwilling to sign for it, which given you have to collect it, may be a possibility. Then it's probably best to let it go. It's kinda weird to arrange a redelivery and then when it get there, refuse to take it. If you wasn't expecting anything, you wouldn't organise the redelivery. Same applies if you pick it up from the Post Office.

Dude, if you dont have the slip, you can't go fetch it anyway. Call your local USPS office (not 1-800-ASK-USPS, google it, most post-office employees are helpful) and ask what the fuck. You CANT go pick it up without the slip even if it's legit. What are you gonna do, go up to the window and be like "yo I saw on this website that I got a package, but I can't tell you any more information, gimme my package". What package? They have hundreds of them back there.

I've picked up plenty of packages and it's been fine, but without a slip you generally CANT pick up the package even if you go to the post office/postal annex/where-ever so I don't think this is even an issue. Call them and figure out what's up, whether they're trapping you or they lost your slip or whatever.

Go pick up your package.

This occurs quite often.

This is not how CD's happen.

Be careful, the feds allot 1 SWAT team per gram of smack ordered on the internet, since that's much more important than taking down local drug dealers that move 50k of H and meth a month.

if you go to pickup at the post office and it feels like its taking forever, run.

this is completely different but a good friend of mine got busted for prescription fraud. they just egged him on making him think it was taking a while, there were peopel ahead of him in line etc... soon as the narcs arrived they gave him the jar of pills and he was mad psyched till he walked out that door and got tackled.

It is common to receive notices like these once in a while. I too was hesitant to pick it up from the postal office so I went ahead and marked where it says something about instructions to leave package and signed the slip, then I left the slip back in my box, the mailman took it back and redelivered. Also you can schedule a redelivery online, did you even read the whole slip? They make it easy for ya! but you might have to wait a day or two.

Don't use your personal IP to request that package, or check the tracking. It shows you knew it was coming and had knowledge of it, and they'll use that against you if it was caught. You might have fucked yourself.
