This is kind of an odd situation. I live in Canada... normally have my US ebay purchases shipped to a friend in Montana that I visit occasionally (avoids the nuisance of cross border shipping). I have friends from my city that spend the winter in Mesa, Arizona. I was scheduled to go visit them the last 10 days of March 2020. I made a purchase on ebay, had it shipped to my friends in Mesa. The item was shipped USPS and arrived March 16 at the small post office at my friends' trailer park. With the virus scare, my friends decided to bolt for home and left to return to Canada early morning of March 16. I was able to reach the trailer park post office by phone on April 2nd, and the lady I spoke to confirmed the package was there. I asked her to forward it to my Montana address...and she said she would do that. Now...12 days later the package has not arrived in Montana. I did not get a new tracking number when the package was (supposedly) forwarded. The old tracking number continues to show 'delivered Mesa Post Office March 16'. GIven the virus issues, and Easter weekend I can wait a bit longer and see if it shows up. My question for PayPal.... if this package doesnt show up in next 10-15 days.... do I have coverage when I paid with PayPal? It's only a $21 item so it 's not a big financial risk. Anyone experience something like this?
