USPS Says Delivered, but No Package—eBay Package Delays Explained
It’s not uncommon for packages to get delayed, lost, or stuck in transit. Some of the common reasons eBay packages get delayed are:
- You provided the wrong address
- A courier attempted to make a delivery, but you weren’t there to receive the package
- You changed the initial address after it was accepted and confirmed by the system
- You failed to provide the required documentation, so customs caused a delay
- The access to your property requires a courier to have an access code that you failed to provide when placing the order
- The items you ordered were restricted/prohibited
- Weather or traffic conditions stopped the courier from making the delivery
- You gave incorrect info when placing the order
- A technical issue occurred
Although it’s not a pleasant experience, there is good news! You can track your package and locate it with our help or choose a different route and file a missing package claim or request a refund. Whatever you decide, we’ll present you with the easiest method to do so!
