Hi All,
I recently picked up a couple single chips on eBay to replace damaged chips in my rack.
ive seen various threads on USPS issues, and I don’t want to beat a dead horse considering all the issues that we’re aware of but I am looking for some advice here.
I purchased the chips on Sun July 26. It was received at USPS and scanned in on Monday the 27th, and made its way to the next checkpoint on the 28th (scanned). However, the Aug 1 line shows “in transit, arriving late”.... which I’m not even sure qualifies as a scan per se. I attached a screenshot of the tracking.
No scans or updates have been logged since Aug 1 and I reached out to the seller via msg on Friday Aug 7 stating that I laid no blame with them on this but that I was worried a small item may have been lost considering the lack of scans. They asked me to wait a while as the L.A. area is having significant postal issues due to covid rules. I take this at face value as true considering their 100% feedback score. They claim that 90% of their shipments have had issues with some being delayed a month. I was also asked to give it some time, which I agreed to.
long story short, how would you all play this? How long would you wait without additional scans or progress updates before filing some sort of claim with eBay/PayPal etc. I’m not a confrontational person by nature, so I’m not looking for drama or a fight with the seller - my issue isn’t with them at all.
The order was $8 total, so it’s small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. I’d even let the issue go if it’s a hassle to file claims with PayPal/eBay (I’ve never had to do one). I just find the whole thing odd considering I’ve been doing a lot of buying and selling on here and eBay, with packages going all across the country without one issue in recent months.
Any advice would be welcomed - thanks!
