Sure looks like it's on the way. Maybe the sender accidentally cancelled it.  I'd wait for a response.

Yes, it sounds as if the sender didn't mark it mailed, and I think you are right that it is on it's way.  The Electronic Shipping info just means that the wrapper was printed, but the Louisville info means the USPS has it in their hot little hands.

The time and date of the cancellation fit with your scenario.

You can eventually mark it received from your transactions archive.

Good detective work!

ETA: Looks like we were typing at the same time, Karen!

This is what it looks like to me also. My husband and I I use DC on all our stuff. Just in case of all those situations out there, it is worth the extra money.

Oh and forgot that since it has

That means it was marked as sent by the sender. So it looks  like it might have been accidently cancelled. I would just wait for a response also. Don't answer the wishlist item if possible and you won't be moved to the bottom of the list. I'm not sure if you are movd to bottom or to the next position if you do respond to it saying you don't want it. I "think" you are moved to the next slot though.

No, if you respond you do not want it you get removed from the WL line and you have to re-add it, and then are at the end.

There is no way to be "skipped"--either you accept or it's removed from your WL.

If you run out of "wait time" for the next offer before you hear from the first sender, you could always request the second book, and if you end up with 2, repost one.  With a wishlist that long, it shouldn't take long to get rid of the extra one.

If you mark it that you do not want it it is removed from your wishlist and you have to add it again and you go to the end of the line.

By rights the sender if she accidently marked it "cancelled" was obligated to PM you and let you know so, if you accept the other book and you still receive that one I would question if you are obligated to give her a credit.

The sender can't cancel it once it's been marked mailed. "Electronic Shipping Info Received" means the barcode was printed and the P.O. was notified that it was printed, not that the book was marked mailed.

It is your choice, technically you would not have to give the sender that did not mark it mailed a credit. Personally, if I saw the book on the move I would probably let the current WL expire and hope for the best. If the first one never shows you can always explain the situation to R&R and see if they would put you back to #1. I wouldn't want to waste the postage of the second sender to get it to you and you to send it on if there is already one on the way.

If you cancel the 2nd WL offer and the 1st book doesn't show up you can probably get reinstated if you contact PBS. Explain that you cancelled the 2nd offer because it looked like you had one enroute to you already.  It sounds to me like you're going to get the 1st book though.  I agree that it looks like the person printed the DC and then forgot to mark it mailed.
