I had 2 Parcels from USA last 2 months delivered by Uni Uni .
They left parcels in front , then send me Iformation by EMail with pictures of my property & home adress delivery person took to confirm he/she delivered items.
I didn't have Tracking # since Item is sent .The seller choosed GSP with ESUS Tracking .
I was able just to see some information when items are trasported from location OR hubs .
On the delivery date I didn't have not UniUni OR Ebay OR Asendia Tracking , none .
They left parcels at my porch.
I never heard about UniUni before .
I had 3 other parcels from USA shipped at the same date , went different destination and delivered by CP .
The sellers also used GSP.
From Toronto they used UniUni,
from Montreal CP .
I'm buying weekly from USA , this was only time I heard about UniUni .

uni uni straight up left a camera lens i purchased right out on my front door, which is right on one of the busiest pedestrian streets in toronto.
it was stolen.
the seller said "sorry for your loss"
ebay basically said "it's not our problem"
uniuni said the same, but their site says "items that cannot be left in a secure place will be brought back to the warehouse and rescheduled"
i went through so much back and forth with them and had to quote their own website so many times before any kind of acknowledgement was made.
now i'm waiting for "14 business days" for the seller to be credited, at which point, it will be 100% at their discretion as to whether or not they refund me the money.
i'm counting it as an outright loss and really can't use ebay again given that nobody would take responsibility for this.

FlexDelivery.
EBay would consider your doorstep as insecure . What steps have you taken to secure it. For example, you could post a Notice on your door saying" No Safe Drop" and asking that your receive a Notice.
You could also ask the seller to charge you for Signature Confirmation, which would have the same effect, more expensively but more successfully.

I don't like playing the "blame the victim" game, but it's my understanding that it's the responsibility of the buyer to ensure they have a safe way to receive delivered items. How do other carriers handle items they can't deliver to you personally, @une_66?
That said, if the Uni Uni website states what you say it states, the delivery agent contracted by Uni Uni needs to live up to that claim.

This part confuses me. Was this item forwarded through eBay International Shipping? If so, the seller's responsibility for the shipment ended once your package was accepted at the forwarding hub in Illinois and it's eBay that's on the hook after that. The seller has no part in this, although their funds may be put on a temporary hold while this gets sorted out because the automated part of the system that handles non-delivery claims doesn't see eIS shipments as being distinct from direct shipments.

Keep in mind that not all US sellers use the eBay International Shipping service to forward their items out of the country. Some US sellers still ship directly to the buyer via the US Postal Service/Canada Post or carriers such as UPS and FedEx. Also, some buyers use established third party forwarding services to handle getting their items to Canada (or wherever) if the seller can't or won't ship outside of the US or use an alternative international shipping method.
The possibly good news is that US sellers will soon be able to give their buyers the choice between eBay International Shipping and another shipping service of their choice, so hang tight for that.

Unfortunately, FlexDelivery would not likely have worked with this shipment as FlexDelivery is a glorified post office box-based system and eIS does not ship to PO boxes. I doubt carriers such as FedEx or Uni Uni do, either.

If this were an eIS shipment, all Signature Confirmation would do is ensure that the item gets signed for when it reaches the Illinois forwarding hub. Whether the item gets a signature at the buyer's door would be up to eIS to decide.
