An eBay Package Lost by USPS Can Be Tracked Down
A USPS lost package does not have to be a cause for distress. You might have to be patient as the shipment could be late, especially if it is coming from a foreign country like China.
Another action you could take before contacting USPS or filing a claim is to look for the package. If the shipping status indicates that the package has been delivered, you should start with the following:
- Inspect your mailbox and the area around your home since couriers can leave a parcel somewhere safe, including your:
- Side or back door
- Garage area
- Backyard
- Porch
- Visit your neighbors to check whether your package was delivered to them. This can happen if you:
- Were not at home
- Entered an incomplete address
If your package does not turn up, you should file a claim with USPS.
