USPS Undeliverable as addressed, but address is correct??

[BeenBurned]

The reason I know it has no return address is due to the fact that I got the package from an informal ((however, reliable)) seller on twitter, who most often will keep their address a secret. So either of the two may be possible. As for my previous statement, I meant that it had been processed all the way to my post office before it was said to be undeliverable to my address. This is the first time any of this sort has happened to me, so I'm unsure of what steps to take to make sure my package is alright ;;

If the seller doesn't want her home address known, she should do what some others have done -- get a p.o. box and use that as the return address.

In this case, her "need" for privacy will come back to bite. If you don't get this item with tracking showing delivery, you'll win INR. Had she used her return address, she would have gotten the package back and could take it to her post office, tell them that the address is correct and they'd reship. (I've had that happen in the past. Sometimes the machines will misread an address or zip code.)

If you call the post office and give them the tracking number, they can probably read the address on the package and tell you if there is a return address. I've been told my local post office that they take pictures of packages at each step of the scanning process to aid in damage claims. If the package is lost, you can open a search request with USPS: https://www.usps.com/help/missing-mail.htm
It asks questions about what was in the package and gives you the opportunity to upload photos of the contents, so even if the label was destroyed, there is a chance you could still get it. You are also expected to provide the sender's address. I'm not exactly sure if the receiver has the same rights in filing a search request as the sender. I've only done it as a sender.
