Possible lost N800...
 

Hello all, i recently sold an N800 to a fellow ITT member , i shipped it almost 2 weeks ago and he still hasnt received it , im concerned it may have been lost or stolen in transit. i would ask everyone to keep an eye out for it on ebay and such , it is somwhat unique , it has a textured black powdercoated , not painted, faceplate. i shipped it in the original box which would have a fry's electronics price tag on the front. Also included was a 4 GB OCZ brand sd card (non SDHC). and of course the ac adapter as well as a generic car charger i threw in. anyone that comes across something that looks like it , please send me a pm or post on here. thank you.

How was it shipped?
Proof of signature?
Do you remeber the s/n?

Note - I've had DHL swear they delivered stuff to my house and it was signed for by the secretary at the desk - which there ain't!
I've also had FedEx lose a $100,000 package (work related) for two weeks.

it was shipped usps flat rate. im still in contact with the guy i sold it to through email.

I've had several things delivered to my house in error. If I hadn't brought them to the correct address, I'm sure the delivery company would swear that they had delivered the stuff, which they did -- just to the wrong house.

Hi there. I'm the guy who hasn't gotten it yet.

It's been 12 business days, though I'm in Louisiana, so I'm sure the hurricane affected it just a bit.

Hopefully not TOO much!

/me envisions N800 floating in the Gulf...

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

It's been 14 business days since he sent it out.

I'm getting a bit worried.
If USPS, in all their glory, sent it to the wrong house, is there anything that can be done? Such as find out where it might have been delivered to?

USPS.com shipping calculator says it should take 6 business days.

A friend of mine asks me everyday if it came in; it's almost became a bad joke.

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

When I bought my N800 from a ITT member, it took 17 days from the US to Canada via USPS :eek:. We were both getting fairly worried near the end, but it did finally arrive. I feel your pain.

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

Thanks :)
That helped.

Though it was shipped US to US.

I'll give the device two more weeks before I consider USPS to be incopetent.
Right now, they're on the "Not the brightest crayon in the box" status.


Edit: K. Got a friend. He worked at USPS in Canada for a while.
He says, if I don't recieve it by the 27th, I need to call up USPS be like "EI WHRZ MI CRAP."

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

whats the tracking number say?

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

As far as I know, there is no tracking number.
But, if by Monday (friend of mine got number and date confused), I don't have it...

USPS is getting a call.

I've been quite patient with them. To let their delivery take 3 times as long as the website says it would.

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

ouch, shipping with any service without a tracking number is just asking for trouble. I hope they find the package but if its really lost, I wouldn't count on a good samaritan turning a high price piece of electronics in.

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

I called USPS yesterday.
Was polite.
Asked if I had a tracking number or Shipping label.
I said no.
They told me to find that out and quickly hung up.

I called USPS today.
Was not polite in the least bit.

I got some things done.


I should find out something within 24 hours
If not, I've got this nice little person I can call. They gave me his number.


Isn't it amazing that you have to be loud and rude to get things done with customer service?

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

For anyone keeping score at home,

I haven't recieved it yet.

I've spent many hours battling USPS customer service, getting nowhere because of a lack of tracking number, shipping label, or insurance. And the fact that I'm not the sender.

And it's been 24 business days. That's four weeks in regular days. Also, four times as long as the shipping calculator said it'd get here.


I'm down $207, and still N800-less.

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

I bought a jacket online that took 28 business days to arrived, it was shipped from Utah to NY via USPS. Hopefully you will get it...

A PS3 was sent to my house via USPS and it never arrived, good thing that Sony resent it with a tracking number via UPS, I wonder how those packages can get lost if they have an address?

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

I moved from Vermont to Virginia in 1975. About 1984 I rec'd a Christmas card from my mother, sent in 1975. Post Office had lost it for a few days.

I think that they deal with a very large number of packages and if the shipper does not think that the package is worth tracking, it's loss is not that important.

I have made a policy of NOT buying stuff online if it costs more than a few $$ and will only be shipped USPS, it is too much of a crap shoot.

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

OTOH, if I buy something from the states, I prefer USPS: it's easier for it to slip under the radar at customs, and even it it doesn't you just pay the import tax and vat, not the exhorbitant fees that fedex/ups want you to pay.
Not that I buy much stuff there (it's difficult to find online shops delivering overseas, and if they do the shipping is via fedex/ups costing more than the item): I bought a roomba, the tablet and maybe another thing.
Never had a problem and never had to pay customs.

Re: Possible lost N800...
 

I have a horror story for every major delivery service. :D

But for me, USPS and FedEx have been the best.
