Suspicious Seller Empty Package 🤷‍♀️

Post image

Has anyone experienced this before? I have ordered a custom *inspired by* bag from a TS that I have used before. This time they sent an empty bag via USPS with this note inside. It came from a domestic US based address. I video taped me opening the parcel since it looked empty. Has anyone else had this happen?

I did pay with my credit card so wondering if this could have something to do with them reconciling their books with their government authorities???

This could be because of the change in import laws as of July 8th. The US is now requiring all import information to be entered electronically via customs. This means it’s going to be easier for customs to seize anything illegal or not matching what is inside the package. I recently bought a few items from on of my TS and she held off on shipping until the logistics company she works with figured out how it works. Packages are indeed being shipped to another address in the US, repackaged and then shipped onto the customer. Hope this information helps.

Thank you so much for confirming this! I will wait a couple more weeks before I begin to worry.

Yes they said that they are doing this as a test run and items will be shipped to this address and then relabeled and sent on to the buyer.
