The seller gave me a hard time when I said I never got it. They pointed to the UPS tracking saying it was delivered. They as good as accused me of lying. I suspect UPS delivered it to the wrong house since we get other peoples mail all the time. Even though every house is prominently numbered. I never did get the items but I did get a refund after MUCH complaining and threats.

I argued directly with my local UPS folks and it was determined that the driver delivered the package to a building in the same location, one block S of my residence.
They had no delivery signature, just the driver's electronic delivery entry. In my negotiation process, I was able to ask the driver what the building looked like where
he said he delivered the package, and that's when the above was discovered.
