I had a fedex parcel stolen from me on the 29th in nyc. I have not been successful in recovering items so far. Not really holding my breath but a police report is filed all the same. If you see someone trying to sell a lot that appears to be these items, please give me a heads up if you can. Thanks.-KeithAttachment 243109Attachment 243110
Oh no. I saw that lot on ebay. I check a couple times a week and will keep a look out. I would check nearby antique stores and make them aware also.
Any Pawn Shops Near I Would Also Check With Them,, Take Photo Of Items With Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Ty
Pawn shops especially have to record any information about the seller and when they were brought in.

Watch Craig's list as well.Quote:

That's my guess as well .. It's infuriating to me. Finding nice deals on anything is so hard these days, I get a great deal on some really nice pieces and I have to deal with a crook... Plus the guy was told to use a medium usps flat rate box and I paid the money for that specifically yet he ignored my directives... You would think if someone is being so specific there's a good reason for it..
Would it have been at any less risk of theft if the shipping had been done the way you requested?
Yes, fedex ground is notorious as it is but they don't like me from the starts as I reported them on numerous occasions for ringing every bell in the building to get in regardless of who it is. Real nice when you have a 90 year old and two 80+ ppl. Mostly though, it is their contract model for ground drivers which is encouraging this behavior. They see a box with a size/weight that implies value, or boxes with branding from vendor x y or z and they go for it. Go look on their facebook page or any other form of social media. It's a theft blitz. Usps at worst loses your stuff for a few weeks and lets it coast around america. They always end up finding it. I am somewhere between 2500 and 3000 packages in the last 3.5 yrs with them coming and going wo a loss. Fedex is 2/2 now with disappearances in the last year and change. The most blatant was in my ice hockey days when the christian factory was still in Minnesota. I ordered a bulk lot of carbon fiber sticks to get me through the season and they had the b@##s to deliver me an empty box with the foam. Nice guys...
Even if you request a signature, if a homeless guy is sleeping on the sidewalk in front of your place, it's a-ok to let him sign and take posession of your stuff... Not joking.. It's a very twisted company
In that case don't you have grounds to file a claim with ebay? You requested and paid for a specific manner of shipping. They accepted the payment but did not follow through so isn't the seller at fault?
Wasn't an ebay purchase. A claim is finally in, but at the same time I'd rather catch this person in the act if at all possible.
My most severe warning to anyone is if someone insists on fedex kill the deal... It's as bad as shipping goods to Italy, just kiss them goodbye
Had the strangest call from fedex last night. They are reimbursing me in full. They also wouldn't admit it outright to me but the person alluded to the fact they didn't believe the driver's tale. I guess other delivered packages on his route may not have been either as of late and eyebrows are raised? I hope so.... Astonishingly, she admitted theft by ground drivers has been a serious issue for them this year. Shippers beware
Glad To Hear Nice Ending To The Story!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ty
I am happy I am getting my money back but losing a very big chopper and a nice coticule hurts
Plus, I bet once he saw it wasn't electronics he probably tossed them...
Glad to hear you're getting your $ back in any case. I wonder if this incident wasn't the first in this driver's history ?
Well she alluded to the fact they didn't buy his story. I am guessing they investigated his recent hit/miss rate and may have seen something concerning.
As part of my business, I use FedEx almost exclusively for my shipping. They have always covered me when anything I shipped failed to get there, which has been surprisingly rare.
Mostly ground or express? This is a ground issue
Ground/Home Delivery. Of course, being booze, they might be taking more care with my packages. :beer2:
