Trade That Probably Went Wrong

[miguel77w]

Ok I agreed to a trade with a member at highdef we both exchanged our mailing address I sent out my blu ray trade with my DC# to his address. He sent his blu ray trade to my address with his DC#.

After a few days I checked the confirmation # and it said that the blu ray was delivered on 1/29/09. It is now 2/2/09 and still have not received it.

I contacted the trader and told him if he shipped it to the right address and he said yes.

Now i need your help of what can be done because this has never happened to me trough all the times that i have traded at bluray.com and highdefdigest.com

I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Did the DC number to your address state the correct city and state on the USPS website? If so maybe someone stole your mail.

Whenever possible, I buy postage through Paypal. The DCN is then attached to the addresses of the sender and recipient. I know it doesn't help now, but it may for later trades. You can insist on shipping methods for trades. It's also less expensive than mailing from the post office.

contact the mods over there, thats why they have itrader, maybe the user gave you a bogus d/c #, What zip code does it show it was delivered to? Is that your Zip code?

[Beta Man]

contact the post office.... they'll tell you where it was delivered if you give them the DC#

Yeah i checked usps and it does have the right zip code and city name. i don't think nobody stole my mail because there is always someone in the house and it is picked up as soon as it arrives.

So all the mail from the delivery date was picked up when it arrived?

Could also be a case of being delivered to the wrong place. I ended up getting a PO Box as the mail person isn't very reliable. I somewhat frequently get other peoples mail and as far as dropping things at the front door...I've actually watched him throw a package over the fence "toward" the front door. Just a couple days ago, had a package delivered two doors down and at least that neighbor brought it over. I generally plop the mail back at the post office unless a bill...I'd give some benefit of doubt unless you've read about this particular person not following thru on other trades. It is obviously an honor deal as there is nothing else you really can do and, if it doesn't show up, at least it was a Blu and not something more expensive.

Yeah im going to go to my local post office to see what they tell me. But you are right at least it was only a blu and not anything more expensive. I am also going to talk to my post officer to see what she tells me.

So I went to my local post office and told them about my incident. They said that they were going to run an investigation and call me back. Until now i have not heard from them. So I guess the trade did go wrong.
