Package arrives with wrong items? But wait....
I ordered knives on ebay. Package arrives with watch parts/faces.
Ok. No biggee...contact the seller, she says NO, I didn't send
you the wrong items......I've never seen those watch parts before
What do you all make of that?

Re: Package arrives with wrong items? But wait....
That’s a bit odd.
Is the seller using some sort of third party packaging/shipping service?

Does the package have your address on it? Could it have been shipped to someone else from a different seller and somehow landed in your mailbox?

Re: Package arrives with wrong items? But wait....
I'd find out what meds she is on and try to get some!! I don't sell a lot on ebay, but I did once send wrong packages to wrong people and paid return postage so I could get them to the proper buyers. Once put wrong item in box too, but buyer actually like the wrong item and kept it and gave me good feedback. Regarding mistakes, and old friend of mine would always say "that's why they put erasers on pencils" every time he screwed up. I guess you may have to have ebay give her a nudge to get your proper item.

Re: Package arrives with wrong items? But wait....
The big question is who did she send the knives to and can she get them back.

You will need a knot knife to solve the other half and you have not got your knives yet.

Re: Package arrives with wrong items? But wait....
Scott does it look like the package was re-taped? Is it possible that someone may have swiped your knives and replaced them with random watch parts? I know, that's a little far-fetched, but nowadays you never know. Really strange.

About bet she sent your knives to the person who got the package sent to you.

Indeed it does. I asked her if she taped it, of course she didn't reply. I always tape mine because it is so easy to pull down a side flapea42 wrote:Scott does it look like the package was re-taped?

Re: Package arrives with wrong items? But wait....
If she’s telling the truth and is not confused about what that should be..........
Then, you’ve been robbed and most likely by a postal employee.......
Unless, of course, two flat rate boxes fell apart simultaneously and spilled their contents at the feet of an exemplary postal service employee,who endeavored to reinsert the contents, but simply got it wrong.
Could happen.....

Re: Package arrives with wrong items? But wait....
Scott, by any chance did the return address broadcast what was inside the package? That's something that I'm always paranoid about even though I've never had anything stolen that way.
When I get a package that has "John Doe's Knife Shop" on the return address I'm always glad that I actually received the knives.

Yep that does look mighty suspicious. I had the same thing happen to me several years ago, only all I got was an empty box! I tape the heck out of the boxes I mail out too. I think it's definitely a deterrent.

Re: Package arrives with wrong items? But wait....
If a Priority box gets 'squished' the ends can look mangled. I always tape the ends. But even without tape it takes a bit of time to get your fingers in and remove contents and then stuff something in there. Postal employees have told me there is video monitoring 'everywhere' and that they only get to handle a parcel for a few seconds max. A thief would more likely replace stolen item with nothing or with something easy and fast to stuff in, not a bunch of watch parts.
With both early dementia and chronic alcoholism you get episodes in which you make no memory. Different from 'forgetting' because the memory never got established. Both these conditions are common.
My bet is she did pack what you received.

Re: Package arrives with wrong items? But wait....
Roland that is a Very intriguing Sherlock Holmes type of deduction there! I never would have considered it, but anything's possible. The box end does look like it's been torn open right near the tab though, seems a bit suspicious. The watch parts do seem odd though. Scott have you tried contacting Ebay about a refund? I think they'd likely OK it under the circumstances.kootenay joe wrote:If a Priority box gets 'squished' the ends can look mangled. I always tape the ends.
