I have a similar problem here as a buyer. Bought something from Melbourne (I'm from Adelaide). After a week, the item didn't turn up, so i wrote to the seller and check for the status. The seller then provided me the tracking number ##### and showed the item was delivered and received by ### (someone I don't even know and was from different location).

I asked for the postal receipt.....and the seller did scan me a copy....Problem is that, the tracking number sticker was attached to the receipt itself and not the actual lodgement receipt form which it supposed to be.....How can I tell that the seller has sent the parcel to the right person and address?

You really should open your own topic, because many people who already contributed to this one may not look in again.

Best is to open PP dispute and the seller will have to send valid proof that they posted parcel to you.  You can also take the tracking info to your local post office and ask them to look into it; they have access to more info than you get from the AP tracking site.

My problem is solved finally 🙂

Just remember, it is not uncommon for Australia Post to deliver an item to the wrong address and they do make mistakes. It has happened quite a few times to us, likely we have also experience a few very nice and honest people, who then popped the parcel to my customers and my satchels were correctly addressed.

Delivered to Morgan st in stead of Morris St etc

likely - luckily lol
