I guess someone thought they could just steal stuff working at FedEx/WalMart.

Just posting in case other folks see "Brownsville, Tennessee" in tracking info.

Now that online shopping is replacing brick-and-mortar stores, one can expect porch pirates to become a huge problem.

[Robert DeLong]

More likely just an error. Thank goodness for tracking capabilities.

I sell many things on EBay an have learned from my main shipper that people follow the delivery trucks in the morning and report pkg drop off adressses to a follow up car. You need to ship items to a secure adress or require signature.

Anything from kali gets checked out by employees

And they steal it

Put another package out on the porch filled with dog poo or a note saying they’ve been caught on video and will be reported to the cops.

People are turning more and more to online shopping and home delivery in order to avoid all the troubles in the public spaces.

But it’s like leaving food out on the porch. It attracts vermin.

more then likely, the label fell off, it does happen and FedEx is the best company to locate lost packages.

Contact FedEx, and tell them what is in the box, they have a database of lost packages and can locate and ship it to you.

The post office doesn’t give a f____

I ordered something from Amazon a few weeks before last Christmas and it disappeared in a Burbank, CA Fedex warehouse. I am about 25 miles from there. I looked at the tracking figuring any day now it will be delivered. Amazon notified me that it was lost and asked if I wanted to re-order. I did at no additional charge and the package arrived soon after.

I wonder who got it? I have ordered multiple items and on 2 occasions a low cost item was not included yet said delivered at Amazon. I think Amazon/Fedex/UPS and USPS have a shrinkage problem.

At least I do not have any package thieves in my apartment building..... yet.

Is Brownsville on the bad side of the state tracks?

[generally]

I had the same problem with USPS.

Package sent west. Tracking puts it at non-existent zip code in NYC, which is apparently what they assign it to when it’s lost or stolen.

My opinion: Theft by USPS personnel.

[sergeantdave]

I’ve found that WalMart ships goods free, like an iron for clothing, as opposed to Amazon that charges $25.

WalMart is confronting Amazon and beating them. Jeff Bozos the Commie sucks sewer water.

Recently purchased a pair of Brooks walking shoes.

They never arrived, despite the tracking info which said that they did. Clearly it was the Driver, as I was home at the delivery time and waiting for the package to arrive. The tracking said it was delivered when I know for certain that it absolutely was not.

Brooks did well and resent the order, which showed up just a few days following, but now I am reluctant to reorder.

This Internet convenience ain’t all that wonderful, but at least that company took care of me personally.

99% of my online ordering goes through Walmart now. All items sent to the closest store to be picked up at my convenience.
Too many problems with UPS and USPS.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Look for a late model red pickup truck with a white bed cap. You will be able to spot the one because of the USPS Inspector pickup following it!

[who_would_fardels_bear]

This happened to my brother. Fortunately they sent it to a location not where he expected, but near enough he was able to get there before the thief that rerouted the package got there.

So this very well might not be a mistake, but an intentional attempt to steal your stuff.

If you have a FEDEX tracking number, track it via their website.

Many times FEDEX and UPS will off-load the final delivery to the USPS. Those hand-offs always take an extra day or two for my deliveries.

[Manuel OKelley]

Ive been using amazon since 2002 and think my prime membership goes back to the beginning of prime

The few times something has gone missing or been damaged its been quickly replaced at no charge

I guess it helps that basically everyone on my street is in the tech industry and works from home...not much happens around here that doesnt get noticed by lots of people
