<p>[QUOTE="OldGoldGuy, post: 2052493, member: 72697"]I am insane. There. You have it. I said it. I keep saying I am done, and I keep replying. So anyone reading this has to now know everything else I am saying is crazy too. Whatever. With that said, I am answering you because I feel bad that you are investing time and definetly giving it a full effort attempt and I don't want it to be for nothing. So let me give some more, or call more attention to certain details of my visits. This was not done at the service desk where there are 5 or 6 workers selling stamps, or processing your priority mail package. This all occurred at the package pickup window. The one by itself. There is no cash register even there. Maybe my offices are setup differently which is reasonable. Maybe this post office is bigger and has a nice, separate dedicated package pickup area others dont. But this desk, terminal, computer, area, whatever, is just a computer, a phone, and a chair, and an opening behind it into the sorting room which you can see into, and is HUGE, like a warehouse. And this computer st the package pickup window is 100% connected to the Internet because I have looked up dimensions of a cars bumper with the worker there before, who I have become friendly with, and who has spun the computer monitor around to ask me to point out which one it was.</p><p><br /></p><p> Also, my post office, as in, my assigned office (where this happened) is also a, and forgive me for not knowing the correct term as I have been told the burden of proof is on me, regional/area/territory hub. You can rent a post box there, you can mail your mail and pay for packages there, change of address there, but it is bigger in the back than the one at the end of town.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, there are definetly some differences that apparently matter.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here was how this happened, as detailed as possible. I walked in, walked past the counter where everyone waiting to mail packages was standing in line. I walked up to the window/hole in the wall, which is about 8 feet wide, and 4 feet tall, starting about 3 feet from the ground. Good sized opening. The computer is to my right, on the other side of the wall, I can see it, just not what's on the monitor because it is facing diagonally away unless they turn it 30-45°. Which they did. And here was how. As I said, I had my tracking number on a post it note. I greeted the gentlemen, and said I had a package there, would he mind retrieving it, while handing the post it and drivers license to him. He asked for my missed delivery slip. I explained that the item had not gone out for delivery yet, but that I had time before a meeting I was on my way to, to pick it up rather than possibly missing the mailman who usually delivered around 1030am. The online tracking (the one that shows up in your "My Purchase" area on ebay, said It had finished sorting. The next line on the online tracking after "finished sorting" is always "out for delivery". Those 2 are always 1-2 hrs apart when I look online. So I knew I had a nice window of time to catch it before it went out. So he keys in in, and says it isn't there yet. I said, not possible brother, look, and showed him my phone. He looks, says "that's weird". Oh, on a side note, I was not even on ebay, I was on the USPS site, set to desktop mode so that it would look the same to him as a computer and not some booszhy mobile version. I asked how could the external tracking version the public utilizes be more quickly updated than their internal one. He said it wasnt. So I asked how mine could say it made it to the physical office I am standing in at 3 am, and someone or some scanner sorted at 810am? It was 945am. He clicks around back there for a bit, and I am clearly panicy. It was a 4 figure coin. He then says "an eBay purchase?" I said "um, yes sir, it is, does that matter?" He said no, I said "wait, how did you know that?" And he said "they used PayPal shipping". I was kind of shocked there. I asked how much they paid just out of curiosity. He said "here, look, a lot less than the $25 he charged you, it's here, I gotta grab it from his hopper ("his" being my delivery guy) and that's when he spun the monitor towards me, and I was staring at what looked identical to a finished auction listing. Picture at the top left, little pictures under the big one. Winning bid. S&H. Usernames. item description. The Whole Page Man.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, rickmp, rlm, 19lyds, take it for what it's worth. It is bothering me way more than it should that you think I am trying to trick you, or was confused at what I saw, etc. What's your problems? Is this what Vegas Vic is talking about right now in my face? I am not in the clique so you just bust spheres for no reason?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
