Disney would do nothing other than offer to ship new bands.
And that is the perfect response and I'm confused about what else they might have done.
if you can see both sets of MBs on your
MDE, I would make sure the "lost" ones are deactivated. The odds that someone would take that incorrect shipment and actually use them are slim, but you can't be too sure.
Not even slim. They have to be there, know what room you're in, have your finger scan, and your PIN in order to do anything but maybe get on DME. And even then that woukd need to be on the day you have DME set up.
Impossible.
Yes, USPS cannot (at least yet) give me an address where it was left because postmaster did confirm OUR address was on the package.
Stop asking them or expecting them to give it to you. That expectation is going to make you bananas. What's the plan there? Just go there and knock? It might ne a super nice person. It might be a horrible person. And there you are, knocking on their door.
The reason companies like
Amazon will immediately reship if possible is to speed things up and to protect you. A decent person will contact the company that shipped the item and the item will get back to the company so why not send another item out? A not-decent person won't, and the company doesn't want you knocking on that person's door.
(And in the circumstance of a not decent orderer, they don't want that angry person knocking on doors either!)
About a month ago something similar happened to me...just not with magic bands. The USPS tracking showed my package was delivered to the wrong house, so I called the company I had ordered from and they sent a replacement, BUT the kicker is, the next day the original shipment was delivered to me by USPS! When I rechecked the tracking after the original was delivered to me, instead of showing it was delivered the wrong address, it just said something like a delivery exception had occurred that day. Not sure if they were just covering up their delivery mistake or if the tracking just had an error...either way now I have two of what I ordered and turns out I don't even like it!
It means they were either at the post office and having some sort of problem OR they were accidentally delivered elsewhere and the recipient gave them back to their carrier and the problem was fixed. Simple.
A few months ago I had an Amazon package delivered to me via USPS that had my name and address slapped on top of the original recipient's info. It was intended for someone (who I have no connection to other than also being an Amazon customer) a few towns/zip codes away. I called amazon because I didn't want to be charged for the item, even though it was a USPS mistake. Neither Amazon nor the Post Office could explain what happened.
Errors in shipping happen. Amazon has been dealing with it since they got bigger than Bezos in his garage. One box accidentally gets two stickers because something glitches on the conveyor belt and there's a series of problems until it's figured out (likely when something big is slated for a tiny box). They called it a switcheroo in my day and they know exactly how to fix it (send you a new item of possible and shipping will be bumped up one level if possible).
Oh and it's impossible for you to be charged for an item accidentally delivered to you. Amazon charges at the start of the shipping process, which is before the item is put into a box. So the wrong item was put into a box after any charges happened. I find it interesting that all these years later this is still a concern when it can't happen.
when I contacted Amazon the best they could do is reship the package...
What would more than the best be? Sounds like the perfect solution to me.
We couldn't figure out why my package was now showing "delivered" but thankfully the postmaster found it (again) lying around the PO.
Since forever "delivered" can mean "delivered to the local
Post office". Not always, but it's part of what they sometimes do. That is why "where's my stuff?" threads always include "be patient, it'll likely show up in a business day or two".
So the fact that it was at the PO is exactly in line with that.
Not magic bands, but a bamboo dish rack I ordered on Amazon ended up delivered by USPS to a home in Oklahoma. I live in Massachusetts. ***? Amazon is refunding my CC, which I already contested with my CC company. Not impressed with USPS.
Likely the box had wrong info on it from an error on the conveyor belt.
I used to follow interesting tracking info from ups and usps when I was at Amazon. Whenever I did an interesting call or email about something that had gone awry I kept note of the tracking number. I would do a printout of it originally then later. It was fascinating.
My faves were the "my order isn't here!" problems in the height of summer or winter. Then come fall or spring and the foliage the carrier had tickets the box under would recede, and the snowfall in Minneapolis would thaw, and nature would reveal that the carrier had indeed put it next to the garage, and people would contact us again.
Then I met hubby and he thought t was cool that I'd tracked it all, and had a meeting with some shipping bigwigs, taking my stack of tracking info with him. I'd also written what the carrier was telling the customer and what our reps at the carrier were telling us, to compare to what happened. I can't say exactly what camemiut of that all, but imo shipoing got better. At the very least "delivered" by usps has gotten better explained since then!
(I think I should have had more typos to edit one at a time, lol!)
