Stealing other people's deliveries update, not stolen!

[Arthur Dent]

I've only had a delivery disappear once. I originally thought it had been stolen, but I think what actually happened was that UPS temporarily lost the package between the seats or something. About a month after it was supposedly delivered, the package showed up on my doorstep, by which time I'd already requested a replacement.

I guess this is the cost of having no real delivery validation. There was no issue getting a replacement shipped at no cost, but someone is eating the cost. The rate of loss must be small enough that it's better for business to take a loss than to lose sales by forcing someone to be present to take delivery.

jc,

I just turned on the siren visor and have it on my dash in the car. I'm on my way to fix this jerk.

We live on the main road through town and I have this fear all the time. It would be easy to see a package and park behind our house to steal it. I've tried to get the ups guy to put them in our back yard, privacy fence, but its an extra 10 steps so they haven't been accomidating. This is one reason I like the USPS doing the final deliveries in FedEx packages. I get a note in my mail box and my package is at the post office.

My UPS guy puts the box in front of my door and then throws my welcome mat over it. I'm not sure that helps any, other than obscuring the light brown box color from someone driving by. It's still pretty obvious something is there.

Same here. I feel like it makes it more conspicuous.

Mr. Planet actually taped up a box full of litter and cat [expletive] and left it on our porch last night.

and?

No takers yet. How long do you think it will take?

I appreciate the sympathetic comments. (And also the jokes! Go get em FB!)

We are pretty sure they were stolen. E-delivery confirmation was that day, and they haven't arrived since.

Amazon did replace them, though I feel bad for them having to eat the cost. Its not their fault that someone was a douchenozzle.

EDIT: Yes! douchenozzle made it past the [expletive] filter! woo!

Turns out UPS marked it "delivered" 4 days early. Both the original and replacement arrived today (weird). Amazon was nice enough to cover the cost to ship the replacement item back.
