Hotel address?

[mcrlmn]

Sold an item last night.

Address provided:

Bla Bla (Check in Nov 6)
265 Ptree St NE
Atlanta GA 30303-1294
United States

This location is actually a hotel:

Hyatt Regency

250 Peachtree St NE
Atlanta, Georgia, 30303-1294
United States

What is the (Check in Nov 6) business?

I've stayed at many hotels and always had a room number.

I've asked for clarification of the shipping address, but haven't received a response.

Will cancel tomorrow morning unless I receive it.

It's only a $5 item + $2 S&H, but if I were so willing to give up $7 I'd rather give it to the 'buggy lady' over at the mall.

Comments?

Tough for them, they are sending to a public location. They can use a different buying ID if that's a concern.

Real life: people with the same name can (and do) show up at a hotel on the same day. For example, if Frank W Smith and Frank W Smith arrive at a hotel where they both have reservations -- who gets the package? Does the hotel staff flip a coin to see which Frank W Smith wins?

On a positive note, it's a small purchase and the buyer has 353 feedback.

Indeed.  So much hand-wringing over seven bucks and fees.

Yet when I prowl through the Negative or Neutral Feedback that other Sellers have gotten, it seems like nine times of ten, it's over items valued at less than $10. I've always thought this to be strange but it seems to me that customers will get angrier over the perceived shoddiness of a $1 item that a $50 one.

"So much hand-wringing over seven bucks and fees"

It becomes a lot more of a headache, loss, etc if the buyer doesn't get their item on Nov 6.

I have found the thread informative, and enjoyed reading other member's opinions regarding shipping to hotels.

I've messaged this buyer twice since the purchase, but haven't received a response.

That is irritating because the buyer has been logged in making 8 purchases from 5 other buyers since the purchase from me.

CP mail pickup is in a couple of hours. If I haven't any clarification by then, I will cancel.

I had it once where the inn staff asked me about the content and price of the package, I was able to pull out the email with my order details to confirm it's mine.
