<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7812528, member: 100459"]I am very fortunate. I have never had a problem with my purchases from ebay. Now the Post Office is a different matter. My house is on Wayne Avenue. The next street over is Watauga Avenue. The residents of the house on Watauga Avenue gets my packages and sometimes I get theirs. When this occurs, we just pussyfoot over to each other's house and put them in a designated location. Recently, they had to move. When the new owners moved in, I told them about the problems we had with the Postal Carrier (for those of you that are 65 and over, that's the Mailman.) Evidently, the new owners did not like the system that had been set. They said that they would just write on the envelope "Not at this address." It's a valid process, but not good for neighborhood relationships. When I started getting their mail at my home and did "What's good for the goose is good for the gander". After a couple times of this, my neighbor came over and was livid. He yelled at me at the top of his lungs and told me if I did it again, he would report me to the police for theft. About that time I busted out laughing. I couldn't believe this jerk. Once he called down, I told him about the process I had with the previous owner. He asked who told me that they wouldn't bring misdirected mail to my house. I told him it was his wife. (By the way, he is about 5'6" and couldn't weigh more than 120 pounds wet. I'm 6'2" and weigh 208 pounds.) Anyway, he apologized and told me he would correct his wife. I still get their packages and leave nice notes to accompany the package. They have been very good to take any packages of mine over to my house. All's well that ends well? 6 months later they got a divorce and I had to go to the new owners of Watauga Avenue.</p><p>As for the misdirected mail and packages, I've talked to the Manager of our Post Office and reported it to him several times, but to no avail.
