Ok ill try to make this story short and sweet. I recently ordered from a vendor in which ive never done business with before. First off I ordered last Wednesday night and PAID EXTRA FOR OVERNIGHT. Welp today is Friday of an entirely different week and im just now receiving my package. NO! it was not because of the holiday rush! The writing on the package was illegible and the not so smart postman delivered it to the wrong house because of this.
I messaged the vendor Tuesday stating that I still hadn't received my package.They replied
"I'm in the process of locating the tracking number, my courier has them"
2 days after sending me this message past by and I still had no package or tracking info. The drop I used is fairly new but has had several of other smooth deliveries to it.
Long story short I had to get someone to go to the post and pick up the package since it was sent to the wrong house because of the handwriting, luckily the house it was delivered to sent it back to the post office. (risky, I know)
Soooooo the interesting part begins. I was going to just finalize and chalk it up as a bad experience until the vendor replied saying "we dont make errors" when I told them what happened.
I was taken back since I wasnt even close to being confrontational. After a few back and forth messages they send me this
"Im looking at the carbon copy of the mailing slip. It is the exact name you gave me and the address is written as clear as any of the other packages we send out and never have an issue with."
Theres several things wrong with this messege. The main one being
"im looking at a carbon copy of the mailing slip."
EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER KNOWS YOU DONT FUCKING HAVE PEOPLES ADDRESSES AND NAMES LAYING AROUND WHEN YOUR CONDUCTING ILLEGAL BUSINESS. Especially being as HUGE of a vendor as they are.
The second part being ridiculous is "Also when there is an issue with delivery the tracking will reflect it as an "attempted delivery" which it doesn't. "
Obviously it wouldnt say attempted delivery WHEN IT WAS DELIVERED TO THE WRONG HOUSE BECAUSE OF ILLEGIBLE HANDWRITING.
"Why would it say attempted delivery when IT WAS DELIVERED TO THE WRONG HOUSE. P.s. your not supposed to keep addresses. I wasnt even messaging you to be confrontational. Just replying to you FINALLY sending the dcn after ive already had to call and basically get the location of my package myself"
"Your address and name match the one you sent perfectly. We are allowed to keep the address info until the order has been received for situations like this."
"So your telling me that if I were to ask SR support or the SR community if a vendor is allowed to keep a copy of my address on them( a paper copy at that), FOR ANY REASON, theyll agree? "
"sure, all the vendors i know keep a copy of the DCN or tracking #. Please initialize as you have received your order"
At this point obviously they realized they've fucked up and are trying to change
"im looking at a carbon copy of the mailing slip." ....to keeping the dcn.
We all know that's not the same thing.
I just kind of want the opinions of a couple of fellow seasoned members who have also been around for a long time. THERE IS NO REASON FOR A VENDOR TO HAVE ANY OF OUR ADDRESSES AND NAMES LAYING AROUND. DCN, yes. and even that is supposed to be destroyed after finalization.
Heres a screenshot of the messages.

You are.
The DCN slip always has the address on it. On an Express Mail shipment, it's a carbon copy. This is the documentation a vendor HAS to keep as proof in the event that an order goes to dispute resolution. Also, the Express Mail slip IS the address label (they glue it to the box). So what he's looking at is what the letter carrier was looking at.
Once you finalize, then he has to destroy that last record.
As far as I read, the vendor didn't do anything inappropriate.

Yes I know what you mean but the address DOES NOT have to be kept. The DCN number from the shipment can, yes, but the actual paper with my address on it does not have to be laying around. A dcn number can easily be kept without the carbon copy. If a vendor were to ever get busted am im supposed to be fine with my address and name being found because its a carbon copy? even though a DCN can easily be written down? I would have to slightly disagree, Yes the DCN protects from scammers, not my actual address on the shipment form. No ones address should be kept, overnight shipment or not. Im 100% sure vendors are not suppose to do this. The DCN notifies if a shipment has been delivered, not my information.
