Warning About UPS Theft

Black Cat Back · ‎03-21-2010

I ordered some items from HSN last month and 2 of the packages never got to me. I also ordered something from another vendor and it was missing also.

I got a call from UPS security telling me that the packages (along with 70 others from other people) were stolen from the facility in my city. HSN refunded me thank goodness. However, UPS tells me that they hire a lot of people this time of year, and they don't do a lot of checks on their background.

The odd thing is, one package came to me from the other vendor (not HSN) and it was not in its company box. It was reboxed and a label was put on from UPS as the return address. My contact at UPS said they probably didn't want the items so they repackaged them. Unreal. They go to the trouble of doing that?

I am most worried about the packing slip being in the packages with my name, address and customer information. HSN assured me that my method of payment is not listed.

I have the police investigation number from UPS.

This is a warning for all of you. This isn't just going on in my state. Please track your packages and if you notice something amiss, call UPS and the vendor.

Just upsets me so that you cannot trust anyone anywhere these days.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS OCCURED AT THE UPS FACILITY. SOMEONE THEY HIRED DID THIS ON THE JOB.

I think it was last year when some started boxing up poop in the packages so when they were stolen they got what they deserved. LOL!!!

I'm notified when a package is delivered so I get it off the porch.

I check the tracking daily. This was done at the UPS facility. It wasn't done by someone stealing my delivered package.

We had the same thing happen to us with an order for TP that happened at the beginning of the shortage. It was shipped and then vanished off the face of the earth! It had to be an employee that worked for UPS.

If we could just get the delivery people to ring the doorbell. I even have a sign asking them to ring right where they put the packages but most don't bother. I had 4 packages delived yesterday that sat out until well after dark when I checked tracking and saw they'd been delivered. Earlier in the day, it was not mentioned on tracking that they were out for delivery.

@Kachina624 completely agreet! Especially the Amazon delivery people. The regular UPS delivery person actually does ring the doorbell. But I watch the tracking like a hawk. I've lived in my house 16 years and this is the first year that I've ever had anything stolen and it was a box of dog food.

Same thing has happened to me! Delivery by Post Office, but did not know until I looked outside and there were two packages. Since then, I have asked her to ring the doorbell if she drops some at the door. But, before she will do that...she stuffs as much as she can in my mailbox!!
How I wish I had my past Postman back!! He would always bring packages to the door and ring the bell!

@Nightowlz

OP is saying this happened at the UPS facility before it got to her house - not stolen from her porch.

@Kachina624

I can only address Amazon. Wrote out exactly where and how I want all our packages delivered. If you purchase from them you can tell Customer Service, or do it online, to ring the doorbell each time they deliver a package.

It is very rare, when the many different people delivering for them, do not follow my instructions to the "T".
