Title: incorrect address (?) and no response from buyer.
Post by: mrroboto187 on July 09, 2011, 11:31 pm
Hello,

Someone placed an order for one of my listings a couple days ago and sent me a street address that began with a zero (for example: 032 Meadowlake Drive). I have NEVER seen an address that started with a zero. I messaged the buyer but it's been a couple days and I haven't received a response.

I was wondering, should I just ship the product? I'd hate for the buyer to log back in after 4 days (I would of course be forced to ship it before the 'late in' column ran out) and be pissed because he has to wait an extra 4 days to receive my product.

What do I do!?

Thanks

Type the address into google maps and see if it really exists.  I also have never heard of a address beginning with "0" but other countries may very well be different.

I wonder if it was O32, u know, the letter 'O' rather than 0 'zero' ...  just guessing, but that seems more likely...u know how some of these apts--and cheap hotels--have letters and numbers mixed...

No it's definitely a zero. I guess I'm gonna ship it out tomorrow. I don't want that shit going back to the return address though. Kind of pissed. If he hasn't logged in in 3 days to check anything it makes me think he's not going to log in to finalize the funds which makes me apprehensive to send because it's really not worth that much to me (and I hate waiting 20 days for payment).

Yeah: the more I think about this one, the more you have my sympathy.  The fact that he hasn't answered pm's is the real problem here, as I think you're doing the right thing in not shipping until you hear from him, at same time, u don't want to hold up funds...need some way to lift escrow if buyer doesn't respond...bad position to be in...I check pm's daily for just this reason...communication is vital, and a weird address, and all you're trying to do is complete sail correctly...hopefully he'll answer you...

He replied. Everything's good! I told him to maybe add a note to every placed order saying that is in fact his address (especially if he won't log in frequently to check PMs).

Hopefully he will give you good feedback for being thorough.

Yeah, you did good, and you posted here, too, so he can see you were really just trying to go the xtra mile...these forums really help, especially when pm's go unanswered.
