Title: Anybody in Brownsville up for fraude ?
Post by: Wünderwolff on November 27, 2008, 18:50:17 pm
1,5 months ago or so I bought this nice Porsche steering wheel via the bay. Luckily I Jelle pay-palled the money to the US and then the waiting began. The guy sent me the tracking number, but as I didn't expect it the first month or so I didn't check  :-[  When I finally checked it became clear the parcel was in Belgium for already 2 weeks.

So I called the post office and they just plain told me they returned the parcel to sender. It appears they could not find my adress? Stupid-low-life-Taxi-Post-delivery Schmuck  >:( I tried intercepting the package before it left Belgium, but it had already left for Texas.

A quick check on USPS.com it became clear the parcel was back in Brownsville. And now is the tricky part, Belgian post had the bright idea to post the package to the sender, Brownsville, Texas. Just that. That was all that was written on the parcel. ::)

To make things worse the seller does not reply to my emails, the Belgian post helpdesk is manned with nitwits and usps can not help me as they have to wait for the seller first.

So anybody wants to impose a Paul Diaz from Brownsville and send me the wheel  :o 8)

I called usps brownsville today. At a first glance they don't seem to find the parcel there. So most probably they have already shipped the un-returnable package to Atlanta Georgia. The Dead Letter Office. Doesn't that sound prommissing  ??? But all in all they are most cooperative, more than the Belgian Post.
