Have an issue with a package that has been sitting at my local USPS distribution center
since last Friday 1/22/22. Is it possible to contact them to get it moving?
Here is the worst of it, the eBay seller contacted me to say they screwed up, they sent my
package with three (3) coins instead of just the one that I won
Hopefully the seller will be patient, I think he is a SSDC member

Sorry but from my experience the short answer is no. I've had several such experiences. You or seller can file for lost package on the usps site, but I'm not sure it does any good as they rely on tracking electronically like you do. If its any consolation, I have packages actually be moving, and our usps simply had failed to update tracking, so stay positive.

I dont think so. Seller can also track that you have not received it. Hopefully it is not in Denver .
I have had 2 packages misplaced there only to reappear about a Month later.

Just got an update from USPS stating that my package will be delivered tomorrow 1/28/22
They must have found it

Well the package came today but I now have to send it back to the seller, it's
the one that has 3 coins in it.
The devil in me wants to open the safe-T-mailers to see what's inside but I better not
I'm even going to pay the postage

I would ask the seller. That way you could get your coin and send the rest back.

You're a standup guy Mike.
But I already knew this thru previous purchases with me.
Glad to hear you got your coin.
