Box Stolen

I mulled a bunch of eclipse beers form someone 3 years ago, the last box i sent arrived, some one signed for it and stole it! being eclipse beers that was a pretty penny, majorly sucked

 

Have you called FedEx/UPS? Ask to speak to the manager of the local delivery hub. Often boxes will be delivered to places blocks away.... If you have not already, ask them to have the driver double check.

Sorry.... This situation always sucks... Good luck, Toby.

 

Yeah, definitely give them a call. I had a box that showed up on tracking as being delivered to me, yet it never was as I was home the whole time. I'm guessing the driver was just lazy and never actually delivered it. I ended up getting the box the next day.

 

Something similar happened to me. UPS had delivered it the same numbered house 2 blocks over. They brought it over the next day. Don't lose hope...

 

This is why I have my stuff shipped to my workplace.

Pretty sad situation. Sorry to hear it.

 

My preference is for the trader to ship boxes to me via FedEx. At no charge, they hold on to my packages at my local FedEx Office about 1/2 mile away. No anxiety about boxes being stolen, etc. It's hard to screw up a delivery to their own shop.

 

Sounds like you don't suspect the neighbors. Maybe send another package via FedEx to yourself and set up a camera, catch the mofo in the act, then you can have future bottleshares together and make them bring better beers than yourself or more beers to serve as penance for this.

In all seriousness, yea it's probably the neighbors.

 

Next option: The day your trash/recycling guys come, do a little ride along and keep an eye out for empties. Unless they are beer hoarders.

 

As others said it is more likely it never got delivered to your house than it being stolen.

 

FedEx, UPS, and esp. USPS have been known to deliver packages blocks away at the same address number. If you really trust your neighbors, then my guess is that's the likely explanation.

 

Why in the world would you open the box at work.

 

This happened to me. First time I had a box shipped to my work one of the bottles leaked and it was soaked in Parabola. Thankfully, I'm the one in charge but there's always that chance of others not being too fond having alcohol shipped to a workplace, especially if it's a dry campus

 

How do you arrange that? I was told that it had to be shipped to me first, and then you could redirect it to a FedEx location once it's in transit; in other words, you just can't have it sent to the FedEx place right off of the bat. I never tried to do that, but was wondering how it could be redirected and how the process is authorized.
