Nervous
 
Hi guys,

I bought Izze a Kwigy bo bag from a fellow YT member... and the USPS doesn't know where it is! It was shipped priority mail and I guess she didn't insure it... and I can be out of major $$. I wish I used paypal :(
I don't know what I'm going to do...

I hope that I can get either the bag or my money back! This is not fair! I paid $9.50 for shipping (which the postal service said it cost way less to ship and it would have only cost $.45 to insure it).

USPS says that I'm out of luck if they don't find it!

Ohhh I'm so sad :( I need this money or bag. I don't have that much to spare. Izze really needed a bag.

And the seller is on vacation... :( I want to cry.

I am sorry your having a problem. How long ago did they send it out?

Last friday. I hope that the other member gets online soon.
I don't see why I should have to pay for something that I didn't get. I would have insured it! I mean I paid $9.50---I assumed it would be insured.
What should I do? I don't know what to do... and I can't tell my mom because she'll get mad that I bought online... because of these issues. And this is from an individual not a company---so I'm at her mercy.

SamiNFurbabies 11-28-2008 04:40 PM
Does anybody have any advice? Am I overreacting? Has your priority mail ever been this late? What do I do??? Please help :(

Sometimes the post office misplaces a package for a few days. That happened to me, I went back to the post office everyday looking for my package. I got such a major run around. Eventually they found my package like two weeks later and none of them could explain where my package was. And the thing was I wasn't the only one there everyday, there were many other people looking for their packages too.

Keep calling them or going in and give the seller time to get back on here and you can pm her/him and work out something.

Worst case you can file a complaint with the PayPal resolution center. If you used a credit card, with PayPal, you can also file a dispute with the credit card company.

How do you know it was shipped last Friday? Maybe it was actually shipped later.

Thanks... so it is possible they will find it? Should i go there every day? Did that help you?
Finals are coming up and i could use that time to study...but I want to make sure that I get my bag! I am sooo mad. I don't know why we should have to insure it...it's their JOB to make sure that packages are delivered safely and promptly.

I paid with money order because i didn't know how to use paypal and i felt iffy about giving my cc# to a company...now i'm using paypal and I could kick myself.
UPS confirmed that it was sent out on the 21st...so that's not what is in question... UPS lost it and the seller didn't insure it and I don't know what to do!
I guess that all I can do is wait for the seller and hope that they do the right thing... I mean---she can file a claim for sure (I'm not sure if i can).

Sorry, I misread your post about PayPal.

SamiNFurbabies 11-28-2008 05:11 PM
It's ok Bill. Thanks though.
Are you getting a puppy ?

My wife gave me the okay. So, I've got two choices that I'm seriously considering.

How did you convince her? When are you thinking of getting one? Boy or girl?

LilDaysha 11-28-2008 05:18 PM
I would first call them and ask to speak to the postmaster or supervisor and explain the situation. Have them call you back with info and if you don't hear back from them call them again. Just be very persistant, even when they wouldn't find my package that day they would call me back to let me know they will continue to look for it the next day. I don't think going everyday will make a difference, I just went cause the post office was very close to me.

thanks. I will call daily. They should not be annoyed, considering that they lost my package.

I didn't. As you know, she knew I wanted one. She went on a trip, and left me home alone without any turkey dinner. She called, said she was very sorry, and it was okay for me to get a pup.

I'm looking at boys. Trying to decide which one by Monday (my deadline). Pups I'm considering will have to be shipped by air. I'm hoping to have him before the holidays.

Goodluck with that. I found 2 boys on here that I like very much---I could tell you which ones, if you want to know.
I'm going to try to convince my mom to let me get one of them... but she wants a little maltese girl in March and I want a little yorkie boy now!
My mom left me high and dry for thanksgiving...I just called her and told her how nice your wife is and if she could do the same and she laughed at me... :rolleyes:

That's a beginning :).

Yes, PM me about the 2 boys you like.

Any news? I was hoping you'd get it today.

I don't have it BUT the post office does. They called me first thing in the morning and said that they don't have it...then I got an email that said they did...then I called and they said that they didn't...it may have been sent to delivery already...and I got some bows and my sack that I ordered, but no bag...so i called and they found it. It came in this morning, I guess...and the package is beat up pretty bad. They said that the seller didn't package it well at all...so I have to hope that there's no damage. But I'll get in monday...which is good. Thanks for asking :)

How about you? Did you choose a pup? Did you get my PM?

bildio 11-29-2008 02:57 PM
I'm glad to hear the post office has your package.

Yes, I got your PM. Cute pups.

I've narrowed from 2 choices down to 1. I'll decide on Monday whether I get him or not. I want to choose carefully since he will be my last Yorkie :winky: .

Chrissy,

I know your home state :D But i won't reveal it here :). Sometimes when I send things home (and you know where I am), it can take up to five days for them to receive it. Keep in mind that Thursday was a Holiday, and mail volume is already picking up, I received my first Christmas card today! I bet the package shows up Monday.

Yes, I would recommend anyone to pay by pay pal, especially when it is a member of a forum and not a "store". That way, there is a record of what you purchased, and you have recourse if you don't receive it. I have had people (NOT Yt'ers) claim not to receive their package, but I ship everything out with a tracking number and it all can be traced.

The thing is, I got several other items that were mailed later at states farther away from me. I got yours faster!
Also, she didn't insure it... and she wasn't a store...so I'd be out of my money.
Reasons why I was nervous. I still am. I don't know what condition it is in. The mail lady said it was packaged poorly--I'm hoping that it is still in good condition.
The mail lady in my city was so nice and went out of her way to look out for it...spoke personally to my mailman. I was impressed.
But I've found this year that 1st class is getting here faster than priority mail...why is that?

I agree. It is much safer to buy with Paypal. They almost always side with
the buyer if an item isn't received even if it is lost in the mail.

I've only had a couple of orders really lost in the five years I have been making bows and it was always the buyer's fault - wrong address on Paypal, etc. I still always replaced the bows. I think any reputable vendor would. The problem with buying a garage sale type item on a forum is that the person is not a vendor and likely only has one of the item. Unless the seller has calculated insurance into the shipping cost and tells you so, insurance is usually the responsibility of the purchaser.

I hope your carrier arrives in good condition.

thanks. I'm not going to buy such an expensive item from an individual. I will buy items over $20 from a reputable business.

What kinds of bags do you have for your Lady Marj? You certainly pamper her :D

Yup, the old gal is pampered, isn't she? :D

I never really got into the bag thing. I have a couple of inexpensive ones that I haven't used in years. I have a pink Happy Tails stroller that Miss Lady and I love.

Do you like it? How long have you had it?
Molly loves her strollers...she's too heavy for mommy's shoulder :D
I am looking into getting another stroller---although I'm not sure if it's worth spending on it in the winter. You know where I'm at...it gets snowy and icy....

I haven't had one package lost---YET. But I did have a Priority Mail box containing over $50 in bows arrive to the persons home state open and EMPTY--and it was returned to me. It was the most puzzling thing that has ever happened, but it indicated on pay pal that the box was not delivered. I re-made the bows, because its just one of those situations where no one is to blame--it really appeared as is the mail workers smashed the box and the bad inside containing the bows slipped out---or maybe some evil person tampered with it. The buyer was a YT member and she was sooo understanding, and even purchased more, so it all turned out.

I really don't know. I have mailed a couple of things in a first class but boxed to a YT'er in MARYLAND and I promise she gets them within 2 days. But I have mailed things to a neighboring state, and the tracking status was never updated and it took as long as 4 days. I really don't think priority is any faster, but it is just a lot more expensive :rolleyes:
