The message caught me completely by surprise. “Have not received. Tracking shows still in Florida.”
I sold a used Diaper Genie with a few extra supplies on eBay. I had packed it up and shipped it out on a Thursday with the promise of delivery to the buyer in South Carolina by Monday.
When I checked the tracking number, sure enough, the package had been sitting in Jacksonville for a week. How could that be?
I used a third party shipper, so I went to their website to see if I could get more information. Sure enough, I found this gem of a notification.
How does that happen? How does merchandise just disappear from a box in a truck? Was this an inside job? But then, why would anyone steal a used diaper bucket?
Here’s what I think happened. I think someone tossed the box a little too aggressively, it hit the ground and broke open, spilling the contents. No one wanted to repack it, so they just threw it in the trash and reported it missing. Problem solved. Let insurance handle it.
I will be able to file a claim and get my money back. I just have to send a bunch of info to my shipper.
The Diaper Genie had been sitting in the back of a closet for over a year. No one in my family wanted it, so I asked and got twenty bucks for it. When I went to pack it up, I discovered it still had some used diapers in it! Yes, I wrapped them up and threw them away. But if I knew someone was going to steal it, I would have left them in there!
Waite for it...
