Glad it had a happy ending. But I still wouldn't give him a gift.

Stuff happens... I received an HSN package that was my next door neighbors one time year ago..... I opened it thinking it was something that I had ordered and was expecting about the same time. I saw that it was not mine... it was a Suzanne Somers jewelry item. I took it next door and apologized for opening the box.... the neighbor and I both order quite a bit sometimes and even the poor UPS guy can make a mistake with all the hussle and bussle!

I don't know what it is....but this year I have had such bad luck with deliveries from UPS and Fed EX......they seem so sloppy where they drop off my packages...fortunately my neighbors bring "lost" items back to me....and I have had to do the same for them....

One time I asked the UPS man why he dropped my package next door.....he said "I did not"...."let me see the package".....geez....it happened to be sitting in the living room so I showed him....and he said..."oh, yes I did...sorry...".....

You are very fortunate. I've got a few pricey things being delivered over the coming weeks and will ship them to work. It being a prison, so if an employee steals them, I'll have it on camera. They are usually great when telling employee's their packages have arrived, plus I'll let them know that they are coming in on that day so they can call me and I take them to the car. The packages are going to be in the manufacturers box, so the person collecting them will see that they are a tv and printer.

here in Los Angeles, they added on the temporaries for holidays a few weeks ago. i think a lot of the errors can come from the inexperienced - not the regulars. but their delivering the day after Thanksgiving - in a departure from recent past years - tells me they don't want any mess ups like last year which punished earnings. a lot of it was due then to weather snarling things up - but affected their reputation as the ultimate deliverer.

I've had stuff delivered to my next door neighbor too. If I see it was delivered I just start checking around if I don't see it. This time of year especially I feel terrible for those poor people. The mailman and the ups guys. It's like triple their regular workload. I usually give them all homemade cookies as a gift.

PS: I'm glad it all worked out and you had a nice, honest neighbor that returned it. I'd bake her some cookies too lol

Glad it worked out. UPS will literally have a GPS location for the delivery so they can tell where it went missing. I found this out when two packages were stolen.

Faith in my neighbors (somewhat) restored. A lady drove up from 61, I live at 51, gave me the package, and said she returned home at 10:30 last night and thought it was too late, I thank you all for your input and support. I will know what to do in the future should this happen again.

YAY!!!!!!!

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

That is good to know blahblahv. Where I am UPS is wonderfully accurate. I find their competition not so much.

Isn't it wonderful to encounter honest people josey girl. I am glad for you.
