Seeds delivered - but not!

[olegren]

Anyone ever had this happen? I'm kind of freaking out.

Ordered some beans from Mephisto. Shipped promptly, out for delivery today. Got quite a bit of mail today, but sure enough... no beans. I immediately went to check the delivery status. Showed as out for delivery about ten minutes but then eventually changed to delivered.

I'm worried they stuck the parcel in someone else's mailbox - which sucks. I'm in an illegal state. Trying to think through damage control - any ideas? Either they gave it to the wrong person, or it got lost in the truck somewhere. Tracking actually says delivered in or at the mailbox though, so...

That has been my worst fear...

I have had it happen before they arrived. Doesnt mean they have actually been delivered.
Assholes like to click the delivered button so they can take a long lunch or whatever.

I wish that were the case. I got my mail for the day, though. Just not that particular piece.

Last seed purchase i made, coming certified with tracking, said it was delivered 4 days before it actually arrived. Dont panic

Thanks, man. Not much I can do but wait. They have been really sloppy with mail lately, but I think even if they did get the wrong box most of my neighbors would notice and put it back out rather than just tear in.

Maybe a neighbor will stop by and say hey man this was yours.......I wouldn't be worried

 

[smokadepep]

Did you check the mail to see if they were in there. I have gotten seeds in regular letter envelopes before

 

[fragileassassin]

Seeds are a grey area until you plant them, tampering with someone elses mail is a federal offense. I wouldnt worry.

Never had this happen before, but after a few more hours of stressing it I went back out to the mailbox. Lo and behold, there were like 3 packages out there - one of which were my beans. What a fucking relief lol. Thanks for the reassurances. Next time, I think I'll have them sent someplace else just because that scared the shit out of me.

Neighbor, hey I got your package! You thank God my tomato seeds are here. Going to be a great garden this year!!

Good tomatoes are hard to find.

Glad they showed up!
I have thought about getting a po box somewhere for them before.

"Delivered" may mean mail truck contents were received at a particular post office, but your item was not placed in your p.o. box yet.
Meaning "received" at location but not yet sorted and final distributed.

Glad you got your seeds.

this is clearly what happened. I’ve never noticed it before, but I probably haven’t been watching for an arrival so closely in quite a while. I was so freaked out I neglected to realize I had 2 other packages I could’ve checked that were showing the exact same status. Also weird that we had two different mail deliveries yesterday, but I’m in a very rural area.

just relieved. Thanks again.
