Packet delivered to my bad neighbour

[derek879]

Bought an item with expected delivery 3 days ago. Not arrived yet ( i know its too early to make a reclamation)

Item has no tracking number so i don't know exactly where it is. Normally i do not have problems with deliveries but a few months ago we had squatters move in to the property next door and about 5 days ago i heard our then their doorbell (they are next to each other) ring. 

By the time i got to the door i heard the neighbours door close and i saw a fleeting glance of a delivery driver running back to his car...not van with logo.

Our squatter neighbours are total scumbags father & 2 minors they have glued our doorlocks, music banging away thru the day, & lots more , our once peaceful existance has gone.

Hopefully i am wrong and the item turns up next week but i have a strange feeling that the squatters have it.

i've not signed for anything but sometimes delivery companies just ask for id number, i have had 2 deliveries over the last month and verbally given my id and its possible the squatters heard my number and noted it down, would i have any recourse to ask for a refund from ebay/paypal?

Delivery estimates are exactly that - estimates. They aren't guarantees. Plus, deliveries are quite naturally suffering delays due to the pandemic, and are far worse in some areas than in others. So I think you're worrying unnecessarily. But if the package hasn't arrived by, say, a full week beyond the delivery estimate, just read Ebay's 30-day Money Back Guarantee to learn how to open an Item Not Received case. It's on every listing and in various other places across the site.
