My son's housemate in Shawnee, OK ordered a laptop. FedEx delivery, signature required. FedEx delivered it to the wrong house and accepted a signature from the party at the wrong house. Fortunately, the delivery address was recorded in some fashion (the package was correctly addressed, incorrectly delivered). My son accompanied his housemate to the "wrong" address and found them in possession of the FedEx package. They surrendered it without a fuss. $1300 laptop. My son was less fortunate. He returned a package unopened via a 3rd party FedEx agent. He failed to get a FedEx receipt and FedEx doesn't acknowledge receipt. The 3rd party shipper claims no records. He is now on the hook for a $600 Apple iPad.

And this is exactly what Is wrong with the concept. The hardships it creates can actually land folks in jail because they “went to get it back” from the wrong address next door.

Who in their right mind would just accept this concept as a normal business model?
