I question the integrity of any company who deletes legitimate criticism.

Any business is going have happy customers and unhappy customers but it's good practice to allow others to see that in real life, you can't please everyone. Companies who remove critical comments, yelp reviews, etc., seem to be hiding something and would make me wonder what else they're preventing me from seeing.

I've been doing my research today and they had more bad experiences and complaints than good. All about the same thing. They don't pay sellers. Some sellers sent in their items, it shows as delivered and SH claimed they never received it and won't pay either. Many sellers have been waiting a month or more. Their are buyers that for example ordered a 7.5 shoe and were sent a 7 but Shop Hers says oh that shoe fits like a 7.5 so we won't accept a return...

That Jaclyn Shandfeld is taking selfies on the beach and posting successful business woman articles while people are complaining. I will be much more careful about doing business online from this point on. These people are ruthless with other peoples money....

I just had a buyer provide their PO box for delivery, the item shows as available for pick up at the PO.
Just got a message from the buyer that USPS does NOT deliver to PO Boxes. What? I have sent items to PO boxes plenty of times. Is this a new rule or is the buyer playing a game? She asked me to forward the package to her home address (which I am not going to do).

I've had a PO box for years and they certainly DO deliver to them. if the item is small enough to fit in the box, they scan as delivered and put it into the box. If the package is too large for the box, they put a yellow slip in the box letting the renter know to come to the counter to retrieve their item.

Yep that ^^^

It's exactly like a mail box only more secure.. At least it's supposed to be more secure..
I live rural, VERY rural & they never drive down the driveway to deliver packages, they always leave the yellow slip. I actually prefer this- it's more safe IMHO.



Perhaps the buyer was thinking of UPS?? Trying to give the benefit of doubt here..

She has since messaged me saying she was confused, which I don't understand because I said USPS and there's also the tracking number so I'm still not sure what's going on.
Thanks for the reply ladies.

I had someone message me today offering $25 for a $50 item I'm selling. Is this standard to offer 50%? I replied with $45. Should've just ignored this person because her reply was "I just bought the same item NEW for the same price." Then why are you bothering me?! I don't understand this reply. Also, I listed my item as gently used even though there is no sign of wear because I like to be conservative. Beyond annoying.

Is the buyer in Manhattan by any chance? I've had two PO boxes in different locations and they don't accept items that are bigger then the box itself. They don't allow "hold for pick up" like fedex and such. They would only hold items if you missed the delivery to your home and are left with a doortag.

Wow, how can they have different rules for different post offices? How is the sender supposed to know this?

Yes, they are looking for a bargain. I just message them back and tell them I'm sorry my price is firm.

No, not in Manhattan. The tracking shows that it's available for pick up at the buyers PO Box.
That policy of the PO not excepting packages that are bigger than the PO Box is ridiculous because obviously if they're holding it for people who missed delivery at home what's the difference?

I asked a worker there the same thing! He said there are so many businesses in the past the abuse the PO boxes and have tons of packages shipped to there - the chances of someone missing a large quantity of delivers is unlikely. I guess it makes sense as it is Nyc after all and in general the post offices i use are quite small.

I don't believe that's even legal.. Many people have PO boxes and no actual physical address.I know several long haul truck drivers that live in their truck- they have PO boxes and that's it.. The USPS is Federal thus the same rules for all 50 states, if a PO is refusing packages, they need to be reported. Further, businesses ARE allowed to have PO boxes! The USPS can NOT put a limit on items you are allowed to receive.
If it's shipped via the USPS they must accept & hold it.

Now if you're talking about the USPS accepting packages from UPS or Fedex, DHL and other alternate shipping services, they can refuse. Many businesses refuse to ship to PO boxes but a post office cannot refuse a USPS shipped package that's addressed to a PO box.

What post offices do you use in NYC do you use? If you go to bigger branches in NYC they do accept packages with your PO box.... no questions. The one in my neighboorhood (UWS) also doesn't accept packages if it doesn't fit in your box but you have the option to simply get a bigger PO box or I believe you can pay extra for the service. I will say the post offices in NYC run quite differently then anywhere else i've seen.
