Today, I got denied a refund for my dream coffee machine. I've overdrafted my bank account to buy it on Offer Up for an excellent price, but USPS delivered the package to a wrong address. Someone got it for free. Offer Up won't refund me because it says "delivered" on the tracking page. FML

I'm sorry, you overdrafted your bank account for a COFFEE MACHINE? You know you can't live solely on coffee, right?

Did we learn to check the address twice and not to overdraft?

I've had stuff noted as delivered when they haven't been (and then turned up 3 hours later!?), so I can get behind that and I can imagine it being quite hard to prove you did not in fact receive it, but the fact that you took out overdraft for a coffee machine is a bit insane! I can imagine the thought process being something like saving money long term cause you won't have to buy it from coffee shops, but honestly, an overdraft? Unless it's a house or a car, if you can't buy it out, you can't afford it.

Why in the world would you overdraft for something as mundane as a coffee machine?!

I'm sorry but YDI 100%. No coffee machine is worth an overdraft.

Idiots like you are one of the reasons we had a financial crisis. Never overdraft for things you don't need.

You just have to call them up again, it’s better if you use chat as you’ll have a record, and tell them the item never came and you want a refund. If they say no then you just dispute it with your bank and wait it out.

# 1: you’re an idiot and you need to learn how to budget. It wasn’t a necessity (and this comes from a coffeeholic, lol), so the purchase could’ve waited. # 2: that’s what you get for not using eBay # 3: take the issue up with USPS.

OP, you do realize that the machine cost you way more than what you originally paid, right?

isn't it illegal for the people who got it to keep it, as it is your property?

Yes it technically is. But it’s also incredibly hard to prove they have it.

I had a package delivered to the wrong house once. It was my kid's Halloween costume so they were excited and we kept refreshing the tracking page. It changed to delivered and we had been home all day and it wasn't here. I called UPS and told them about it. They told us what house it was delivered to and me and my kid walked up the road about ten houses, and took it right off the porch. It was correctly so I called them pack to complain. Later that night the UPS delivery guy showed up at my door to look at the box's label. He claimed it was wrong in their scanner system. I suggest you get the police involved if they won't give you your coffee maker. This is theft.

I assure you the police don’t care. Don’t waste their time on this. Be an adult and call USPS. 🙄

I love all these people judging because the OP was over the top about a coffee machine. Who gives a ****? You've never had/wanted something others called "mundane" but you were excited over? Honestly. As you dump 200 on sports jerseys and 300 on a hair dryer. Get out. Let the OP have their passion

Of course but I would never in my life overdraft my account for something I don't need

Who's to say it happened by choice? Everyone has had that bill they forgot about hit at the worst time. The FML wasn't based on the overdraft; that's just icing in the cake. The problem is the fact that the company isn't doing something about a clear and costly problem.
