UPS delivered IPAD to wrong address!

[sbtrfly74]

Ive had a few other problems with Fed/ex and my mailman.

A few years ago a Fed/Ex truck went over a bridge right before xmas. I had ordered my husband a bass guitar and was taking way too long to get delivered, weeks. I think I got it right before xmas and it was warped like it had been sitting in a wet storage area for a really long time and the shipper sent me out another one.

The company I bought the guitar from was suppose to send me a box to ship the bad one back and they never bothered.

My mailman use to throw boxes 30 feet on the side of the driveway and we have a 400ft driveway thats a big hill with a really sharp curve. Or she would put one of the orange notes in my mailbox that said "sorry I missed you" even when Im home". We found one box under a foot of snow. I would call the post office and finally was told my mailman told them there was no place to turn around in my driveway... Ive had full length tractor trailers in my driveway. I got a new mailman

UPS should have been able to put a tracer on the shipment since the receiver didn't get the package even though it was delivered. The tracer process takes up to 8 business days to complete, but if after the process is complete they still dont find the shipment they should escalated it to an UPS claim. If the company that sold it is really concerned about their money that is what they willl have to do with UPS. I have to do it all the time for the company I work at...I had to file one the other day for a shipment left laying on the door step that no one signed off on.

I could see how it could have been delivered to the wrong address and signed for. I have to sign for packages all the time at work. Often the delivery guy comes in and hands me the package, I take it and leave the area for a moment, then go back over and sign it. I just had 6 PCs delivered and signed for them. I grabbed each PC, moved them into a side room where the elevator is, and after taking each of the 6 into that room went back and signed for them. If they weren't for me I could easily look at the address label and get the name and then sign it. If I only looked briefly I might spell it wrong because I only vaguely remembered it.

I have no idea if that is what happened but it is how someone could sign the name of a complete stranger when given an incorrect package. Now, the UPS guy would know where he delivered them and there is GPS on every truck so it could be verified so if I did just steal someone else's PCs they'd know.

In our area no one has to sign for UPS anymore. Guess if the sender requested it though, they would have to get a signature. I would definitely think you would have to with an expensive item.

I can't imagine the sender not requesting an inquiry with a forged signature.

Did you pay for the second iPad?

I did, yes. Because I got a refund for the first one since I never got it.

Do you sign your name? Or the name of the person it was sent to? I sign for things all the time too, I sign my name regardless of the addressee because I personally am acknowledging that I received the package.

We get stuff all the time at my retail place, and if I am up front, and there isn't a manager near-by, the driver just tells me to sign for it. I guess since its a company its a bit different. Kind of hard to steal things since they check us out!
