I'm so sorry- what a mess..:sad:
I do have to say that there are a few USPS locations that are indeed open on Sunday.
We have one about an hour & a half from here- It's the HUB at the Airport.
I rarely use it- only in emergencies but they are open on Sundays. They used to be open 24 hours, 7 days a week but they changed that a few years ago.

I hope you get this worked out and that you get your bag! I will say that newbie sellers can sometimes have a lot of issues but some of my VERY BEST deals have come from new sellers. Fingers Crossed for you.

I don't normally like to buy from first time sellers, but this was a Speedy 35 that was in amazing condition for under $400 bucks. How could I resist!!! :nuts:

That's good to know about Sundays and USPS though!! :-) Now I know that is an option for me if I needed to ship faster.

Thanks for the support! :biggrin:

I had only good experience on Tradesy as a buyer. I didn't buy a lot, but all my 4-5 orders were good. I bought several pairs of brand new shoes and they were in such condition. I bought a used bag, seller was out for some time but eventually it arrived in good condition and it was fairly priced for that condition. If I compare Tradesy with other platforms it's easy to shop and should be easy to do returns.
My pet peeve with eBay and RealReal are SNAD (80% of my orders from RealReal arrive in far worse condition than described and I return them). same is true on eBay, also what's with the multiple sellers who don't have items, who are out of the country and don't ship anything after taking my money etc.
I just placed my first order on Poshmark, I can't compare my experience with them yet. but site looks quite messy and it's too time consuming (following, commenting).
I found great things on Vestiaire Collective but once you have SNAD with them it's a nightmare to get refund (I had to file claim and deal with custom fees).
Yoogi's closet mostly good but also I got badly damaged bag from them that was supposed to be in excellent condition (hole in the corner covered with nail polish, anybody?) LOL
So far Tradesy and Fashionphile are the best IMO.

Bummer about Vestiaire Collective, although that doesn't surprise me. There are a couple things I would love to get from there because they sell items that I cannot find on Tradesy or even eBay.

I wish I could buy on Tradesy because I always get so many coupons from them, but so far nothing has struck my fancy (yet). So far I've mostly stuck with buying through Facebook groups or eBay. :biggrin:

Another weird thing!! I go to her "closet" and look at items sold and the item I bought does not show up. It doesn't display a picture and doesn't display the price it sold for. When I go to click on it, it takes me to Tradesy's home page. Her other items that sold don't do that.

as for Sunday shipping there are drop boxes, the package can be not scanned until it arrives to sorting facility.
on a side note the item in her closet sold for $0.00 would make me a little uncomfortable.

Tell me about it!! I'm waiting a couple more days till I call Tradesy. If I get the item tomorrow, I will let the seller know and Tradesy so she can get her money.

BUT...something just tells me I need to record myself opening the package. What if she didn't send anything? Has that ever happened?? My mind is going in all directions right now.

Was it a newly listed item? I can see the the main photo when I look, but not when clicking on the actual sale. With the recent changes in their website I've noticed strange things with the photos not always showing up properly for a while after listing. Or listings not appearing in my full closet for a while.

Bummer, I didn't know Tradesy can do it now. When I was trying to list some of my items at vestiairecollective.com, it was a nightmare. They take 30+% of the price, that's already horrible. But when I put the price that I think was appropriate, they started negotiating, sending lowering price offers, and you can bargain 2 or 3 times, they can offer to set a bit higher price, but still will not let you leave the price you wanted to from the beginning. I wrote them a letter showing links to some worn shoes that costed more then mine NWT. They answered that it's kinda not a question for discussion and their experts know better what prices fit their site. so they make you sell cheap (especially considering their %) or decline your listings.

I just tried yoogis closet to list a speedy b 30 in de. It's been used only 3x with a samorga organizer and purchased this year. The lock and keys are still wrapped! Never been taken out of the dust bag. Comes with original everything and they offered me $700!!! I almost died!!! I know I can't get full retail but damn. That's just crazy!

Yea, it was a newly listed item. Maybe it is a glitch on their part. But it kinda worries me!

That's what I see too.
I see the photo when I search for LV satchels SOLD listings but there are no photos when I click the actual listing..

Well firstly to my knowledge all USPS locations nationwide are closed on Sundays. So the only way she could have possibly mailed the bag would be to put it in a drop box.

To be fair I've put items in drop boxes and sometimes it doesn't even "scan" until it reaches a sort facility. I've also have items that i've mailed across the country and they weren't scanned until they reached the sort facility it the receivers state...... which was literally 4 days after I dropped it off in my case. I would wait until tomorrow end of day before being concerned. She may have a lazy post office like mine that doesn't scan.

There are also mailing facilities that accept USPS items on Sunday and holidays but do not ship out until USPS is open again (I do this all of the time for my shipping because Sunday is one of the only convenient days for me to ship).
