Xaxaxe wrote:Disagree. If, in fact, a tracking number records "delivery made," then simple logic dictates that it should be the buyer who pursues any sort of claim. The seller has already done his part: the item was successfully handed off to the postal service, which then subsequently recorded a successful delivery. Further, the seller is not familiar with the buyer's neighborhood, local post office, layout of his house (i.e.: protected mailbox, or is it out by the road?), or any other details. It makes much more sense for the buyer to pursue a case locally.

Xaxaxe wrote:I'm not even saying I should win every dispute (and, for the record, I've had very few, thankfully). I just want someone in charge to say, "Yes, thank you for the tracking information. We see it, we acknowledge it, and we will certainly use it to help resolve this matter."

I know for personal experience that the USPS will not entertain any claim from the recipient. Any claim has to be made by the sender, with the original proof of shipping.
