It is interesting that you mention this, because I had a similar issue with my Amazon mClassic order. I ordered it and the first one never arrived. A replacement was sent and I got it the second time.
How long ago did you order? If this isn't just bad luck but an issue with Marseille's warehouse then wow they really need to do something about this. I wonder if Marseille is just making so much profit they don't even care. However, I think ebay or amazon could ban Marseille if it gets bad enough, not sure.
New update from USPS on my package: the zip code was wrong. What was supposed to be a nine was labeled as a zero, and then someone used a pen to hand draw a nine over the zero. This is laughably bad. I mean what kind of workplace would allow this to happen?
My order was back in May. No issues with the replacement package that shipped out the following week, but my initial shipment apparently fell into a black hole.
It's strange because Marseille does fulfillment from amazon's warehouse, so unless they were doing direct shipping for your order and later changed to amazon's warehouse, that could just be an issue with amazon and not Marseille's warehouse.
I have a summary of what I think probably happened to my original order. The original order was allegedly ignored because of a software bug that caused a failure of my ebay order to transfer to the Marseille warehouse. Then, when someone went to make a replacement shipment for me, the first label had the wrong zip code so they printed a second one, which is why I have two separate shipments in my delivery digest but only one with shipping activity. The worker handling the labels meant to use the second label with the correct zip code, but accidentally used the first one and discarded the correct one. Or, both labels had the wrong zip code and the worker just said screw it and drew a nine on the second one because he didn't want to keep making new labels. The reason I say that is because when I try to change delivery instructions on USPS, I get the same error message: "the ZIP Code in your Customer Profile does not match the original destination ZIP Code of your package."
It could also be Marseille is purposely using the wrong zip code to keep people from changing delivery and claiming they never received the package. In that case, they don't know USPS systems can send a package to a distribution center solely based on the first two numbers of the zip code, ignoring the actual street address.
Edit: A couple days ago a USPS rep directly told me on the phone that only the sender can intercept and that my intercept request won't go through. Then the manager at my local post office said the package would just be delivered to my address once it comes back to them and not be intercepted. Then, my original intercept request went through anyway and I was charged $14.65. That first USPS rep lied to my face and I could've prevented this by making extra sure the package wouldn't be intercepted when I had the manager on the line. So for anyone reading, yes, the recipient CAN intercept packages successfully. This makes it twice for me.
Edit 2: Well, the mClassic finally arrived at my door. Initial tests show ok. It doesn't handle 960p correctly and the sharpening is too much for me, so de-sharpening somewhere else in the chain will be something I look to try out. The upscaling quality is quite good and the lag is indeed near zero. More testing to do though. As of now I think it could be a good option depending on your needs, but it does have unnecessary flaws that if fixed would really make it a stand out upscaling option.
