    A company sent me very valuable PC hardware to make videos on, but the package ended up being mysteriously re-routed to an unknown address. This video is my side of the story, sharing what went on with this entire ordeal. My goal was to document what happened as best I could and ensure that I could not be pinned as a suspect trying to commit fraud.

    Just wanted to clarify because the comment has come up a lot, Melissa is definitely not being "mean" or "rude" to me lol. This is just how we communicate with each other; we are sarcastic, sassy, and give each other a hard time constantly. It's playful, if it were seriously an issue we wouldn't have made it 7 years, bought a home together, or have a wedding coming up. Thanks for attending my TED Talk.

    Shipping has gotten nuts this year. Almost everyone I know has had issues with most of the major services this year. A big problem is fedex is signing for packages themselves and leaving on the porch. I have seen several doorbell cameras videos from friends showing them doing this.

      Yea. I don't think there was actually an attempt at a 'scam', but I've had a lot of dealings with UPS prior to the pandemic, but once the pandemic started they just went downhill. I've talked to some customer service 'off the record' and been told that they will misclassify items and list things as delivered when they weren't just because they are too backlogged. Which seems ridiculous. Just tell someone that. I actually had 2 situations similar to this where packages were listed as delivered, never delivered and then actually delivered about a week later.

    • @madness_rising

      This happened to me with a $6000 medical supplies package. They said someone called to change the address, which no one did, but wouldn’t tell me what address. Ended up having to file an insurance claim, which I won, to get my (health insurance’s) money back. A few weeks later my neighbor tells me they got a weird package, and it ended up being mine. They had given it back to UPS and it was long gone. If they would have told me the address, I could have gotten it from my neighbor and they could have saved the $6000 insurance payout.

    I had a issue about 3 months ago with UPS where a valuable order containing coins from the US Mint had mysteriously gone missing after it scanned at my local sorting facility before it would normally reach to me at my home. Never had it recovered or found, ended up just getting a refund from the Mint. If I had to guess, some employee at the facility saw the shipper and snatched it for themselves. I know they can lookup this information because when I spoke to the manager they can see in their system who the shipper is despite the shipping label only saying "Processing Facility". Very shady....

    Danny, I had a similar issue with FedEx last year. I sent in my laptop to Dell Repair Depot to get fixed, we have pro support so the turn around was suppose to be 5 days. I didn't hear from them after 5 days so I contacted Dell to find out what happened and get the tracking number which they did, said is was done and shipped already. I checked the tracking and sure enough it was delivered a couple days ago at this point and to a different address and a signed for by someone I never heard of. I called FedEx and pretended to be the person that shipped it and told them of what happened so they can give me all the details and demand a investigation. They said they send this case to an investigation and gave me a case number and that they would call me back, they never did. I had to call every few days to check up on it and I had to do this multiple times, so weeks go by. I think the last time they told me that the driver did go to the address and recover the package. A few days later I received a pretty messed up box with my laptop. The whole process took over a month.

I called fed ex told them it was wrong house and gave them my phone number and directions for the driver. Yesterday they left a slip on my neighbors door again 🤷🏼‍♂️. Called again suppose to be here today it is soooooo frustrating. I was thinking the same thing, delivery driver knows and wants the gpu 😂. The place I purchased from called me today and said if it don’t come I need to go to the fedex facility and pick it up. They were on the phone with some manager. So if it don’t come I’m going to get it today same thing I will open it while I’m there just in case. Also the company refunded me 100$ for the inconvenience 🤷🏼‍♂️🤑.

    Dunno if any commentators mentioned it but some companies who don't want to be blamed for late shipping will lie and hope you believe it just so you don't complain. Like I ordered something from best buy and at first was told it was delivered to the mailbox, then at my door, then still in transit, then finally that the package was actually damaged during shipping and being shipped back to best buy (that is after an investigation was started). I have always had problems with UPS. I also used to work for the Post Office and witnessed my supervisor do the same thing telling someone they are looking for their package when she was actually at her desk doing nothing.

    I deal with a lot of different couriers and one of the things I learn is that never use couriers to ship to P.O. Boxes or apartments/condos. Always use postal service like USPS for those as they will have access to those buildings. If you must use UPS, Fedex, DHL or other couriers for your PO Boxes, I suggest having them hold it at your local UPS store or warehouse and picking it up yourself to avoid any headaches like you had for this shipment.

    There's actually a major scam place operating somewhere in Russia that's called like polar express or some shit. I was selling a lot of giftcards that I got from friends, family, etc on ebay and someone from the US purchased it somewhere in like Seattle. I shipped it out with USPS tracking and everything, a couple days later and I get a message from the buyer that he did not receive the package even though USPS says it was delivered. I spent like 10 hours that day calling people and figuring out where the hell the package is until I came across a Yandex.ru page linked to the buyer (His workplace) and it was some place called Polarexpress.co or something like that. I got my Russian friend that I know to come over to my place and we called them up, he pretended to be the guy who bought the items and was basically asking about where the package is and they proved that the package with MY tracking number was in their warehouse in Seattle (The shipping address). The strange part is that why would a Russian company own a warehouse in Seattle, I later found out they are a package stealing/scam company. Basically I tipped them off to the FBI with the audio recording, Ebay returned my money but the package has been missing ever since. I'm sure they are still operating to this day stealing giftcards, but that was by far the most nerve racking experience i've ever had with a package.

However, I was out of town for a week recently, and the usps mailman crumpled all of my mail in my box, including my son’s birth certificate. I guess it’s hard to stack flat pieces of paper in a box.

    Electronic tracking system error. The fact it showed out for delivery from China the very next day should have been the first clue. Between the handling and flight time then going through customs (government work my man) there was no possible way it would be there. I’ve had it happen several times, annoying but it happens

    I had my Radeon RX 5600xt stolen ... main reason was because XFX did not package it ... it was a bare XFX box with the lables slapped on it, the driver stole it, and poilce recovered it a few days later and XFX even refunded some of my money for the GPU being stolen. they also apologized for not packaging it correctly. annnnd i had my Corsair Dominator stolen too. Never got it back so reached out to corsair told them the story and they sent me out a new kit of dominator platinum. but ive had more than PC parts weirdly and suddenly go missing.

    Yooo dedass I ordered a $260 keyboard that got shipped through UPS and THIS EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME i was so heated. In the end I ended up having to go on bs ups easter hunt and had to travel 30 miles to the ups facility it was “supposedly” at after many calls and raging. It was not there and then they told me it was at another center which was in a totally different city and finally got a hold of my keyboard a week after It was supposed to arrive at my house. Bottom line UPS is a huge smelly piece of Sh*t. :) UPS telling me they didn’t know where my package was caused major pain.

    It's pretty common for a driver to take a package that they know they're going to have an issue with delivering (or that they want to try to keep) and scan it that way while leaving it at the warehouse and the investigation will go like this exactly.

    Simple answer... Ups Driver ripped off the package.. Had it done.. They used to rip off hundreds of Dell Computers when they were Dells shippers.. In one case they took them from the first load into the truck and pulled off and dropped off them and then went on their way..

My number was on the package and the establishment called me thank goodness for that. With all this fuss one piece of styrofoam was broken and the bottom edge of my case was bent. I rebent it a little and with the glass side panel on it isn't noticeable at all.

    Fun fact.
    Machines read the address of every single package and envelope that is sent through the mail, if it cannot be read they will sent to a "bad handwriting specialist". If both of those steps don't work they get shipped to Atlanta and held for an amount of time depending on the type of item.

    I had an issue once with UPS that was kind of similar in some ways to this or similar at least to the original scenario of what might have happened. I had purchased a parts lot from a guy. Basically a gaming PC kit. It wasn't put together but it was all the components. I had the tracking information. It was marked as delivered. It wasn't. Much like you because I did buy the shipping the seller did they made me have him contact them. So he does. UPS delivered my package aparently by mistake to an office building. The recovered it the next day. It was destroyed. I don't know if UPS destroyed it, or if the people in the office destroyed it but it was opened. And resealed but resealed with just strips of scotch tape. Like an office would be likely to have. When I opened it the PC case was all dented in, the motherboards CPU slot protector had been removed (I found it in the box) and the pins were smashed. The whole thing was basically a wash. UPS didn't want to accept responsibilty despite it clearly being their fault for delivering the package to an incorrect street address. Fortunately I had asked for insurance. So the seller had to file a claim. Also fortunately he was a good guy and he sent me my money back. Technically speaking he could have kept the money and I'd have had no recourse. The way shipping insurance works is pretty wonky when it's a business transaction.

    @dennissmith1435 3 роки тому

    Occam's Razor, the simplest answer is usually the right one. UPS made a mistake, probably several. The package probably was still in route from China. They likely confused your tacking updates with a different package. It's that simple. I've had it happen. During the pandemic it's been worse. They are so slammed, mistakes will be made. I've had inaccurate updates saying packages were delivered when they were still on the truck. I've had updates that it was delivered to my house, when it went to a neighbors house, that happened twice. I've had updates saying it would be delivered on a certain day when there was no way it could make it to my part of country in that time frame. Nothing nefarious, no scam, no thief, nothing intentional, just mistakes.

Really not a huge problem because UPS or DHL would have reimbursed Galax and they would have resent the items. Your Better half must be the grounded one?

    Basically I oredered a pc case in late december. It was supposed (by what said in the website) to get to me in a couple days (uk to portugal). Since it was taking more than 2 weeks and I wanted to finish my build I just bought something else and tried to cancel the order. The store said they couldnt cancel because it was shipped already but I could send it back (just by telling the shipping company to take it back to the sender) and they would proceed to cancel it.
    One month after I made the order, it finally arrived and I told the courier to take it back and they did.
    Now its 7 months later and the shipping company says they dont have the package because it was returned, and the store says it hasnt recieved anything back. Both parties say they cant do anything and Im just here without my case or my money :-/
