I recently had a package ordered from Amazon stolen by the UPS driver with no way of proving he stole it.

So you don't know he stole it.

I've worked for UPS before. Around this time of year, this is what happens: people know others are ordering expensive Christmas gifts (smartphones, consoles, tablets, etc.), They also know that UPS is basically the largest delivery service ever and that they're delivering the majority of these packages, Apple and Amazon use UPS (although Apple requires a signature). What people do is tail the UPS truck, wait for them to get a distance away and run up and steal the package that was left behind. Not the driver's fault. This happens often. Drivers and driver helpers are told to keep an eye out for this sort of thing when out delivering. Call UPS and Amazon's customer service departments and let them know your package was confirmed for delivery but you never actually received it and now it cannot be found.

Of course, the driver could have stolen it, as it does happen, especially this time of year. It is amazing how many UPS drivers get arrested every November/December for stealing packages

EDIT: So you've called both, don't stop calling until it's sorted out.

The UPS man just knew, you know. He just knew that your package, which did not require signature verification, had the Good Shit inside. Thus he endangered his job, the financial security of his family, and his reputation, to steal your package.

a UPS driver stole my Dell 2407WFP back in the day. i ordered tons of shit before and nothing ever went missing. somehow, they know. i don't *know* that he stole it, but i do know that he no longer worked there and i got a new delivery driver after that event.

Must have been a pretty sexy package.

It's Christmas time. There are people who follow us delivery guys and will pick up large packages right after dropped off. Your UPS guy makes too much money to steal a soundbar.

It isn't always about the money or the item with thieves. How do people in this thread not get that?

indeed, if it was about money, why would people who had money steal minor shit?

Or he delivered it to the wrong address and went back for it. This happened to me with a UPS driver in my area.

I saw the truck arrive and knew my package was in there. I noticed they entered my building but didn't deliver me my shit before they left it. I checked the tracking status and it said delivered. I'm like lol oh really. Truck's still outside, so I go out to confirm my suspicion that it was obviously delivered to the wrong address. Bitch is like nope, I was just in there. I tell her I know she was cuz I saw her and that's how I know it wasn't delivered. She's still in denial at this point. I tell her I'm gonna have to write a complaint about whoever was responsible for delivering my shit and head back upstairs to call UPS.

Just as I'm about to call, I hear the door. It's her and the other driver. Instead of admitting her mistake, she's just there in silence. Bitch didn't even say sorry. I don't even look at her before I finally do, giving her my "Yeah I told you, bitch" smile and wink.

Wanna be a piece of shit and lie? You go home feeling maaaaad dumb.

After I bought my Vita, I ordered Persona 4 Golden and a 8 GB memory card on Amazon. Package was marked delivered a few days later, but my mail box was empty and the apartment office was adamant they didn't get anything. They told me to talk to UPS. I talked to UPS, they were adamant it was delivered and I needed to talk to the apartment office. It sucked, I kept going to the office then calling UPS, several times each because they kept blaming each other. Finally gave up and contacted Amazon and they refunded my money. Then, 2 weeks later, the package randomly was delivered. I guess I ended up getting it for free but it was a shitty situation for a while.


I do have one question for the OP (and I may be missing something because he deleted the info in the OP), how do you know the soundbar delivered the next day was the second on Amazon sent and not the first one finally getting to you? Maybe you'll get the second one in a day or two?

What? I'm one of them (I prefer being called Black)

Secondly thanks for the last few post. Ill continue to follow up with this... Some of the first few post had me questioning myself, but I'm the one that didn't get my package the first time and the original package still went unaccounted for...


I originally just wanted info about IP cameras and home surveillance but this thread took a turn in a completely different direction.

I'm just trying to find out what happened to the original order, but more than that the topic at hand is I don't really know so I can't prove anything. Do you guys work for UPS? You guys seem to be focusing on the wrong issue here. (My bias apparently)

UPS employees are usually biased against the company.

 

[Coins]

Right.... Because the size of his paycheck really means anything. You sir reek of bias, as if my assumption was a personal attack on you. If they are following you why don't you guys take plates and file a report? Won't it reflect on you if packages on your route go missing?

I'm not offended at all. My job is to deliver a package to your door. If it goes missing after I leave it has no effect on me as I can't control the actions of other people. Just letting you know that every year this scam happens.

Saw the thread before op bailed out, but didn't really it fully. Sec cameras are more than fine. I've got a 4 set package from ADT. Coverage of entry points to this house. Luckily nothing bad has happened *knock on wood* but theyre good for check ins from work or out with a mobile device.
