hey recently i sold something to a guy in canada and when i shipped it out (over a week ago) i didnt get a tracking number or anything since it was first class and i didnt keep the receipt (stupid of me

) and now the guy is complainigng to paypal about not getting the item.

i cannot provide a tracking number and i have no proof of it being shipped. im going to the post office to ask if they keep records but if not what do i do?

thanks

Aside from asking the PO if they keep records, there's not a whole heck of a lot you can do. The only thing I would suggest would be to ask him to wait one more week in case there are shipping delays due to the holidays. Good luck.

ill talk to the guy. he was an Ahole from the beginning though so im sure hes doing it on purpose.

Good luck dude. This sort of thing sucks. We have been having issues with some really slow postage at the moment. Hopefully it's just that.

Yeah, slow postage and it is an international package as such, so it could be held up in customs.

Customs is checking the crap out of everything... all of my packages are being opened by customs... so I ship it to my girlfriends name... and it comes faster... my name's not the traditional canadian name.... kinda stoopid.. but oh well.... always get a tracking man.... pay that extra dollar.... I always do... where's this guy Canada?..

Hehehe, send Aqwut around to his house one evening to spy on him....

Err well not much you can do - If you REALLY think he did get it you can technically send an empty box with tracking... Provided you do that Paypal technically will rule in your favour.

Not really very cool though.... Lesson - Always tracking even for a $5 item!

Sorry to hear that, FWIW I am still waiting for my lipo so perhaps its just a general postage delay.

oo well maybe it is just slow freakin postage

and i dont think you can get a tracking number on first class mail

or so the post office guy said.... idk

Ship another box to the address and get the receipt and send it to paypal.

t-maxxracer32 · 12.19.2007, 08:42 PM

i could do thati guess... problem is what happens if he gets the box? then i wasted money on the fake package and idk

it's gonna take more than a week to ship to canada from the US.. I get packages faster from hong kong than from Detroit.. which is only 40 minutes away... it's funny sometimes..
