USPS says "delivered" but no package

[Laubage]

I did a trade with someone on AR-15.com for an ACOG and he shipped it via USPS Priority Mail. The delivery confirmation number says "delivered" but it isn't sitting outside my house right now. I checked some of my neighbor's doorsteps, and didn't find anything either.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it because I wasn't home and will it get delivered again? I hope it's not lost/stolen...

Dude, look around in the yard. The $$%&^ did the same thing to me a couple days ago with a FedEx Smart Post (oxymoron and do NOT do this). They just threw the box next to my fence in the grass, took a perimeter search to find it. There is a table for packages about 5 feet away.

USPS sux.

Had a package that was supposed to be delivered yesterday (address was 100% correct).... went thru sorting facility in tulsa yesterday morning....then for some reason went to stillwater for delivery..... I don't live anywhere near STW.......so then it finally comes this evening...

USPS suuucks!

Just did a full perimeter search... Even checked inside the dumpsters. There isn't anything out there. Well, I hope it will F-ing turn up. That's a hell of a lot of money to be out of.

I'm assuming USPS takes no liability if in fact they did lose a $1000+ package?

I just asked the seller. I'll find out when he replies I guess.

dont trust usps's online statuses, it may mean they delivered it to the local po hub. Give it a day before you get concerned.

agreed.

I've had the same thing happen a few times. But it usually got delivered in the next day or so.

I've had he USPS do that to me before, you can call and file a report over the phone. Within 3 days of doing that I had my package. Good luck!!
