Yep.. I had this happen..
Whateve, since it's their mistake (as long as it is) they will redeliver with no charge.
ETA Jinx- I posted right when you did.. lol
I have had that happen before and the mailman had punched in the wrong code. It should have been the code for no one was available to sign for the package. Did the buyer receive a card in her mailbox maybe? Also if it hadn't said out for delivery yet code still could have just been punched in wrong. Please let us know how it turns out. Fingers crossed for you
this just popped up in my shop, I'm not sure if I want to opt in because I will have to increase prices for most of my stock. maybe 5% but I'm not sure if it will be featured much. Most of my items are NWT or like new, I don't have a rush to sell them cheaply.
Especially I don't buy the part about "x3 times faster". my prices are beyond reasonable.
what do you guys think, would you opt in?

No, they just crossed out the "undeliverable - RTS" stamp and resent it.
What did you decide? I had exactly the same thoughts about the "invitation". Even for 5%, for items $3,000+ that is $150+ off, and like you I already have my items priced at my lowest and they are lower than the others of the same type listed on Tradesy. I wish I knew what they meant when they say they will "feature" our items during the sale. I am guessing all that it means is that when someone clicks on the "sale on xyz" link in their email or on the website, our items will be among the hundreds or thousands of others that opt into all sales (all of the professional sellers with huge inventory). I bet our items would get lost in the pages of others on sale at that time.
Several times my items have been on a Tradesy sponsored sale but I've never sold one during that time. For this reason alone, I wouldn't opt in. Most of the items in my shop aren't in categories that Tradesy features much. The other day I got an email featuring vintage and when I clicked on it, the brand of which I have several vintage items wasn't even included.
I called my post office today. The rep was able to read the address from the tracking number and it was correct. He told me that once the tracking says "out for delivery" the carrier is required to deliver the package that day no matter how late it is. The scan for "undeliverable as addressed" happened at 6:30 PM. Possibly the carrier wanted to go home. My rep told me there is a good chance it will be delivered today. I hope so! I was really worried I had done something wrong on the label to make it unreadable or that they wouldn't be able to read the return address either and the package would remain in limbo forever.I have had that happen before and the mailman had punched in the wrong code.

ETA: I heard back from my buyer. She said she was told it was a substitute driver who wasn't supposed to use that code and it will be delivered today. I wonder if the driver has any idea of how much trouble he caused?

Thanks for the update.
I'm glad it's getting sorted out-
Bad, BAD postal carrier though! It happens.. My son delivers for FedEx and found a dozen EXPRESS packages a new employee left in his truck on a Saturday so they were delayed for 2 days! There's bad apples in every job..
Fingers crossed for you..
Good news! Just delivered. Whenever someone does something they aren't supposed to at USPS, it is always blamed on a substitute driver.
Great points! I also recall my items were never featured or were not even found in search if you access the event from promo email. those were sitewide brand sales, I have awesome pictures , why my items were not even visible then? now they offer to cut a chunk of my profits for the same poor featuring? no. thanks.
Yay, happy ending! USPS gets a little bit crafty sometimes scanning "business is closed", "address un-deliverable" etc.

Oh wow. They probably signed up for text alerts and now are alarmed that they are getting your messages as texts. Ummmm. Maybe they sent messages to several sellers and think all of the responses/texts are coming from you. That doesn't explain why they are so confused and upset about it though! Some people are so clueless that I wonder how they can get through a single day alive.
