Scammers?

[TXAG]

Thanks all for the added insights on your business. I should clarify that I do know the package was delivered. Beyond that I have know idea why they want a refund nearly three weeks of it being delivered. I can only assume they never got the package... Maybe stolen from their mailbox? Who knows. I wish he would have contacted me... Kind of odd behavior if you ask me that's why I suspect some sort of scam.

Ah well. One bad one in the bunch. At least PayPal has my back.

One thing that really sucks about USPS is that they do sometimes delivery mail to the wrong address -- when there is delivery confirmation on the package and they deliver it to the wrong address, it still shows up as "delivered" because they scanned it as "delivered" even though it isn't where it's supposed to be.

PayPal will still find in your favor if that is the case though...but it's bad because you don't have any way to know if it was delivered to the wrong address or if the person really did get the package and is lying.

My blood pressure usually takes an uptick when this discussion, delivery to wrong address, comes up.

Several years ago I bought a high end video camera on Ebay, . . . paid with the church's credit card, . . . and expected delivery on I think a Friday.

Anyway, . . . delivery day came and went, . . . no package.

Later that weekend, . . . a black pickup and a bunch of unknown folks comes into my driveway. They asked for me by name, . . . and something about the tone just didn't set right.

When he said he had something for me, . . . and started looking on the other side of where he was sitting, . . . I was getting this "fight or flight" feeling coming up.

Lo and behold, . . . he had my box, . . . with the video camera, . . . UPS had simply sat it on the porch and left. Didn't ring the doorbell, . . . knock on the door, . . . nothing. Marked it as delivered, . . . and went on his merry way.

Half of me wanted to shout halleluia, . . . the other half wanted to wring a UPS driver's scrawny neck.

It all worked out, . . . but there certainly was potential for otherwise.

May God bless,

They've started doing that a lot more frequently lately, especially during busy seasons. My UPS guys will normally pound on the door real quick, just in case I didn't notice my dog going off. I had a FedEX delivery that got me heated once though. Brand new drum machine and the guy literally THROWS the box onto my porch and just leaves. I happened to be sitting there watching him do it so I was pretty irate about it.

Well. This probably will not help your blood pressure any, but I have it on good authority that UPS has been recruiting people in suburban areas for local parcel delivery...they basically set up a trailer in one of your neighbor's driveways, deliver the packages (locking them in the trailer) during the day, then the person is supposed to deliver them around their neighborhood in the evenings in their own personal vehicles. Really doesn't sound like a good situation, to me...
