They apologized, said it was their mistake, and that they couldn't fix it. They said to contact the post office to make sure my address was updated. I DID, and then they shipped UPS! The company simply said it should be fine eeerrrrrr. Not fine :/ Plus, after I spoke with them and was told no changes could be made, the next day they sent an email saying an item had sold out... so they can take an item out but cannot correct their mistake on the address? </p> <p>@lamariniere: I am going to contact the company, they probably won't due anything but it really is their fault they sent it to the wrong address... it's like I knew something weird would happen, and tried to fix it.</p> <p>@catomd00: Good idea!</p> <p>@honeybear: the weird thing is... everything in my building is on camera. Everything. So what were they thinking? But if they didn't intend to keep it, why wouldn't they have taped it back up, at least? The entire top half of the box is gone. </p> <p>@Mrs. Champagne: Thanks! -It really pisses me off! :)</p> <p>@skipra: wow! Glad you called the cops. People are nuts. I wrote the manager, hopefully she'll do something!</p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393312 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 09:16:31 +0000 Littlebit7 2393312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something like this (only much worse) was on the news last night. A small shipment of guns ended up on some random dudes doorstep. Random dude decided to keep them. Ups tracked them down and he police got involved and charges were filed.<br /> I'd maybe first contact the shipper and explain what happened and see what they suggest. Id maybe proceed with caution if you decide to get the police involved. You got your items back AND those weirdos know where you live. Ugh. So weird. I've mistakenly opened packages for other people in our building. I always leave a sheepish post it and apologize later when I see them. There is another person upstairs who shares DHs first name </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393251 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 07:51:55 +0000 skipra 2393251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple years ago my neighbor took a box that was delivered off my porch. I opened the front door when I saw her on the porch and she was carrying across the street! I called the cops and they got it back but didn't do anything. Since you have it back I don't really know what they would do. Probably not much. :bummed:<br /> Eta since you are in a building I would definitely complain to the building manager! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393225 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 06:40:02 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2393225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my that's so odd! </p> <p>I don't know what I would do but I would be livid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393223 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 06:35:44 +0000 honeybear 2393223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would make me mad, too! But I guess unless anything is missing/ruined, I would probably call the company only, not the police. The other guys were really wrong, but maybe they had a change of heart (or just a fear of getting caught...), because they did eventually do the right thing and give your things back, even if a little late. </p> <p>I might also ask the manager to collect packages and then have residents pick them up/sign for them. I've lived in a bunch of places that do that, and think it's a good system. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393219 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 06:09:55 +0000 catomd00 2393219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would call the police it's illegal to open someone else's mail. Then I'd deal with the company since you'll have a police report to show them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393176 Fri, 18 Dec 2015 01:27:36 +0000 lamariniere 2393176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! Is anything missing? If so, take pics of everything (how disheveled the box is) and contact the company! Also, did the neighbors sign for the package? UPS or whoever should have a record of that signature. </p> <p>If everything is there, I'm not sure what you can do other than contact the building management and alert them about what happened. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393155 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 23:12:38 +0000 Greentea 2393155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if I should call the police or contact the company...</p> <p>@Miss Ariel: that sounds like an honest mistake you attempted to correct, totally different. In fact, the entire top of the box is missing!!!!!</p> <p>@autumnlove: I might try that. </p> <p>@anonysquire: I think so! </p> <p>Thanks a lot! So weirded out and upset frankly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393152 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 23:09:25 +0000 Miss Ariel 2393152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I once accidentally opened a neighbors package without realizing. I was expecting a book I ordered in the mail and assumed the package on our porch was it and didn't even look at the box. But once I saw what was inside I realized my mistake. I was so embarrassed and taped the box shut and put it on their porch making sure no one saw me. Although this situation sounds a little different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393150 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 23:04:43 +0000 autumnlove 2393150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That sucks. I would contact the company if it was their error and see what they can do to send replacements. Does your confirmation email show the correct shipping address? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393146 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 23:01:12 +0000 anonysquire 2393146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well isn't that breaking the law? Maybe I'm wrong. I'd probably call the police honestly. I've had so many packages stolen off of my porch it's ridiculous. I can't believe they didn't even try and lie haha. "Package? What package? Haven't seen anything!!" As she's wearing your new clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/package-theft-situation-sort-of#post-2393140 Thu, 17 Dec 2015 22:55:48 +0000 Greentea 2393140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something strange just happened, tell me what you would do!!!</p> <p>I ordered a large online order for Christmas. I updated my current address. The company made a mistake and delivered to my old address, in the same building.</p> <p>Tonight I realized my package tracking said delivered and my package was missing. </p> <p>DH went to the door of our old place (where it had been mistakenly delivered) and was ignored as he knocked. He then used the intercom outside to try to contact the occupants that way and was ignored. Knowing they had my package, DH went back to their door and knocked and knocked until they answered. </p> <p>They had not only opened my package, but they had taken out the individual items and looked through them. The package OBVIOUSLY has my name on it. They took the items out of the plastic bags (that are now missing). They finally turned over the package to DH with disheveled contents... did they try them on as well (WTF)?</p> <p>I just am not exactly sure what to do. This is so odd. Obviously they were trying to keep the package and contents or they would have delivered it to my door, taken it to the manager's office, not opened it, or answered the door and handed it over immediately.</p> <p>I emailed the manager, what are your thoughts? </p>
