Hello guys! I had a slight drama come up this morning and am seeking advice. Apologies in advance for the long read!
So this morning I get an email from Moe stating that a delivery addressed to my mailbox was received damaged and empty, along with photos detailing the condition of the mailer (there is a clear opening cut through one side). Of course this particular package is for a high value card ($350)
but the US based seller seems very reputable. I contact the seller outlining the details and open an item not received case. His response indicates he is of the belief that COMC is responsible for the missing card. I then get notification that the seller has opened a case with the resolution centre and an ebay representative then emails me saying I will need to file a police incident report with the in order to pursue my refund request. Obviously this will prove difficult as I'm in Melbourne Australia and would not know who to contact in the States to file a report.
Furthermore, my understanding is that while the package was shipped with signature confirmation, the delivery was rejected at the COMC's end and no signature provided. However, photographic evidence was taken of the damaged and empty package which I have forwarded to the seller.
According to the items tracking information a successful delivery has not been completed and as such would it not the onus be on the sender and/or USPS to file an incident report with the local authorities in regards to this possible case of mail theft?
I'm awaiting further details from Moe & eBay but would greatly appreciate any advice especially from those of you who have had similar experiences with missing COMC mailbox submissions. Thanks!
