Thanks for any replies.

@newjersey Many times. USPS opens a case, but never does anything unless the item was insured.

Sorry you never received your bracelet. Hopefully you will get still get it. Our mailman delivers my packages to the wrong house sometimes. If I'm expecting a package that day & the mailman delivers my mail but not my package I call the post office that same afternoon. The post office calls him & he gets my pacakge from the wrong house & brings it to me. I doubt your mailman will be able to remember 6 days later where he delivered your package.

Once the mailman told me he left my package in his box at Wal-Mart & had to go get it. He was back within a matter of mins. with my package. He delivered it to the wrong house. He did not have time to go to Wal-Mart. I also doubt they have a box with packages in them at Wal-Mart.

Our mailman just needs to pull his head out & do his job. When he delivers the mail he gets off one house so everyone down the street gets their neighbors mail.

Just the other day I watched a substitute mailman delivering. Our boxes are on the house, not at the curb and he would deliver to two houses, walk back to the truck, move the truck up two houses, get out and deliver to two more until he had the whole block done.

It wasn't raining, cold and windy or sweltering hot...

@RespectLife I use my bank debit card at times when placing an online order and it has the same benefits as using a credit card.

@newjersey this has happened to me a few times. One was an order I placed with HSN, post office said it was delivered, it wasn't. I called HSN and they sent me another package. The second time it was with Philosophy. This time I believe the shipper was FedEx. I called Philosophy and they sent me out another one also. One time with an Evine order I placed. I saw the package was out for delivery and when my mail carrier came and didn't deliver it I went online and it said delivered. Well it was, but to my neighbor across the street. I called the post office who was able to contact the mail carrier on her cell phone, she remembered that she delivered my package to the wrong house. I had to go to my neighbor and tell her my package was delivered to her by mistake. She is elderly and hadn't even come down to get the mail yet. Lo and behold my package was sitting in her doorway.

This happened to me awhile back, I went to the post office and I spoke with postmaster who told me our regular postman was out that day and he would contact the postman assigned the route that day. I don't know what happened but by 5p both my packages were in my mailbox. Good luck but QVC is very good about replacing your lost package.

Hi @newjersey Thank you for letting me know. I hope you do find your package soon.

@spent2much I always use the online mail hold and it has always worked perfectly. Sorry to hear about a bad experience.

@newjersey Evine is very hard to deal with when a package is lost , they put the burden of proof on the customer as to whether the package was delivered or not. I don't know if that's who you are dealing with, but good luck.

I had a problem with an item that was insured, and they never did anything about that either. I filed a claim, and appealed as many times as they allow, and got nowhere.
