Dilemna - please help, what is fair?

I made a trade - it was about about a $30 value on both ends. both were mail at the same time about 3/25/24

Person A mailed non machineable (pictures at the post office of the envelope with the receipt), but nothing has showed up yet.

Person B mailed it bmwt and that did arrived 04/06/24

How do you compensate for what USPS has obvioulsy screwed up? Person A can return the cards, but then Person A is out the cards and double postage. It seems person A is out in the long run no matter the situation.

TOUGH ONE TO FIGURE OUT.

I'd suggest waiting a couple of weeks. I've had 2 packages in the last few months take almost 6 weeks to arrive. The usps really sucks lately. One was even sent bubble with tracking. Thing was mailed from Minnesota with a kansas destination and sat in Washington for some reason for almost 9 days with no movement. When you watch where a package goes via tracking, it's no wonder they get lost. There's no reason for the path they go. I sent one to @crazyderik and it literally showed up almost a year llater. It was insane.

I agree with waiting just a bit longer. I mailed 2 nonmachinable envelopes to CA. Was told postage was fine by my PO! They were returned for postage due ( I think 19 cents) after over a month after I mailed them.

Postage is SUPER slow these days....my advise would be just be patient

It would be better to way more time, I normally if cards never show up I send him something else .. I try to work Bigger deals to send With DC#.

I work at the post office and i can tell you things are jacked. They are trying to build a whole new network but while doing it things are getting delayed while logistics are being set up. Its going to take at least 2 years to get all the facilities in line if even that soon

I sold a card for $1.50 at the end of March and apparently it took 3 weeks to show up. It will most likely reappear.

I had a trade show up 1.5 years later in a usps bag with a “i’m sorry” note. Opened it up and it has been destroyed by belts, ran over, and marshall faulk and steve young autographs were destroyed

I Retired from the usps over 20 years ago and watched it go down hill more & more over the years. With help wanted signs outside on the grass. Now after home delivery its like Cheers, I have to return mail for my neighbors that got delivered in my box. I think all the new guys are named Cliffy. Hope you have good neighbors. This story is all true. Good luck
