What's Going On Here?

Post by cody6268 »

The knife from this order showed up last week. But, I got an email a day or two ago showing I was to receive a second package from that order with a second tracking number--what's going on? I've received ship notifications as much as a month AFTER I received an order, but a second package is quite odd. Hopefully, this isn't a seller slip-up and I receive an item intended for someone else.

eBay says the second package was to arrive November 13; but the USPS says the label was just printed last night.

Someone at the seller got the paperwork screwed around and didn't note that this order had already been shipped. Just a guess. Call 'em and talk about it before it gets anymore out of hand. Just a suggestion.

As you have the knife you paid for you have no need to be concerned. This situation will sort itself out in a few days.

Looks like the seller is having some logistics problems with outgoing
out. If you get another package, you will have to decide what to do with it.

Looks like the seller does a large volume.

I would wait and see what happens. They probably decided that you are such a good customer that they would send you another knife for free. Yup, I'm sure that was it. ::ds::

I've had that happen a few times.
Although I think they just needed room in their place of business. ::ds:: ::handshake::

You didn't get the email ? Free knife Tuesday... had a pkg. lost by USPS. No communications, then was told it was gone forever, so sorry. At that point i had received the pkg. a week before. I thought I was confused.

It's actually in transit right now. Currently, it's at the USPS facility in Kansas City. Still wondering what happens.

I've had the same thing happen to me on eBay a few times myself.. double even one time 6 duplicate orders..that time it was K-9 Advantix II flea and tick drops..I ordered one six pack and they sent me six 6 packs (over a weeks time)..I messaged the seller (very high volume) as I didn't want to get billed for six and they messaged back to just keep them, would be a loss for them to pay return shipping..( I never opened them for a few weeks thinking they sent me six individual packs, not six 6 packs.. Grainger is good for that at my mill, they'll send a back ordered tube of super glue in a box big enough for a microwave sometimes! I think the warehouse people just do that to mess with customers, waste of packing materials if you ask me...)

Turns out, it was someone else's package. It's out for delivery in Des Moines right now, so obviously not mine.
