Hey, I recently bought a bike from a private seller, and they shipped it to me via DHL. I received a tracking code, and last Tuesday, I saw on the website that the package would be delivered. However, later I got a notification that the courier couldn't deliver the package. No one contacted me, and there was no delivery notice left. Then, about 2/3 hours after the failed delivery notification, I saw that I could pick it up at a DHL branch. However, the branch is almost 500km away from my address (very close to the sender). Has anyone experienced a similar issue? I don't want to lose money on the bike…

Bike via DHL?
Not impossible, but this is a common scam.
Fake tracking that shows something is being delivered.
How truthworthy was the seller? Extremely good price? High quality product?
That doesn’t sounds logic … if you getting a notification that you package could not be delivered, (what basically means they where at your front door but couldn’t deliver because no-one was at home) why the heck should they bring it back to a place 500km away from you? Could it be that the sender took the wrong address???
