I have no words for the mishap with Fed-Ex today!

Aloha,

I know what your going through, I bought my house a couple of years ago and not knowing the neighbor's or neighborhood I installed a security camera system from costco (nightowl) well I bought a AAA slayer and after waiting a looong time for the gun I finally got a confirmation shipping number, I was tracking it and the day it was out for delivery I was so excited, then the text came through "delivered" I called my wife to see and she said nothing was delivered, puzzled I left work and came home, yikes!!! nothing, I checked with all of my neighbors, nothing. I went back home and checked the security camera footage, the FedEx truck drove right past my house. Being that it was a Friday and past 6pm when I called the FedEx office I only got the voicemail. I had to wait until Monday, that was the longest weekend ever. Monday came and I called the FedEx office, they said it shows that the package was delivered on Friday at 3:10 pm, I told the girl on the phone that I didn't receive it, they kept saying that it was delivered and I would have to file with the police for a stolen package, I told the girl that the driver didn't even stop at my house, he just drove by. Well after I kept insisting that the package was not delivered and I have video showing the driver didn't stop, her tone of voice changed, I told her I will drive down to the FedEx office and show them the video, I drove down to the office, showed the manager the video. The manager said he will speak to the driver that was on that route Friday, he said it wasn't the normal delivery driver. Well after 2 days I received a call from the manager saying that they have my package, I went down to the FedEx office and picked up my package, the box looked like it was re-taped, I opened the box in front of the manager to check for damages or missing parts but it was all there and no damage, I asked the manager what happened and all he could say is that the driver that supposed to have delivered the box is no longer with FedEx, I am so glad to have gotten the security camera system. 

To the OP, I hope you get your package you paid for, WE work hard for what we buy. Sorry for the long story but reading your post brought up the memory of that bad experience I went through.

Aloha, 

Keone

It seems minor but it's actually fairly traumatic, because it is your OWN character and honesty that is being called into question -- and there is no immediately apparent way you can remedy the assault on it. I don't blame you for feeling not so good about it. I've been put in the same situation so many times.

Can afford a thousand dollars compressor but cant afford a $50 camera? Lol. Get a camera from ebay. They are cheap af. From $20 to $50 would get you a decent camera to record 24/7. I always record when I know my package being delivered so if they claim it was delivered I can go back and check the camera. Also if anyone stole it I can go back and check who stole it.

There is a problem as of late. No signature required for signature required packages due to Covid19 and social distancing rules.

There have been instances of dishonest UPS delivery drivers not delivering packages that were scanned as being delivered and there were those retaped boxes with items missing from orders in the past.

USPS lost packages that couldn't be tracked even when tracked up to a certain stop then no other movement after update saying out for delivery but never delivered.

No issues with Fed Ex.

To be quite honest, I never considered it. A person can spend a lifetime thinking, but they can’t think of everything.

We thought of getting a camera afterwards, naturally. 

We have been quarantining deliveries and mail for three days. My son’s birthday is coming up soon. There are 5-6 boxes, three are large, on the front porch. They have been there and remain there since Thursday. I would think if the compressor did make its way to my door, and IF stolen, the other packages would be gone too.

On top of that, I work from home. My wife has been working from home since April. My son is home, and the dog comes barking when someone comes to the door. Our front porch is creaky and sounds transmit to the house louder than one would expect. I am 99.9% confident that Fed Ex never stopped by.

Here to hoping it shows today in one piece.

Unless of course, the Zombie Apocalypse starts tonight and you need your compressor.

For the ZA, I have a baseball bat ready and waiting at each door of the house. 😉

@kaeokini , My assistant has that issue with USPS regularly. We put HD cams all over her house as a Christmas present it has saved her many times. She continually sends video of USPS never stopping, yet they say they attempted delivery. I love my cams. Glad you got your toy recovered.

@30harry , An acquaintance from USPS says that many drivers scan the parcels as they load them on the truck. They're not supposed to do that, but you can't fire them unless they steal and they know it.

I just picked up a couple of these because a friend has a renter not paying the rent and having meth parties in the apartment with her convict boyfriend. I figure the Sheriff can use the information and I don't need a warrant to get it. There is a long hallway that people have to walk down to get in and out. They are the best quality video I have ever seen in a device like this at any price point. Motion detection triggered as well if you configure it. You can turn on and off the IR filters and with a little ambient heat you have something that is also NV capable. Very impressed. I wish we built them in the USA.
