Package Theft

[vinyl-raven.livejournal.com]

So my inlaws sent me me birthday package and the post office says it was delivered on the 7th. No one in my apartment building has see it. So it was probably stolen off our pourch, I know this happens a lot. Yet through out the 3 yrs I've live here this had never happened before.. I live on a end of a side street in teele square.
I am talking to the post office tomorrow just to see if it is there.

Anyways, just get packages insured and with a signature required.

I agree on signature requirements not necessarily helping. Last December I ordered a TV that was shipped via FedEx Ground; they left it on the porch of the house next to ours and the driver forged my signature.

Fortunately I had signed up for e-mail alerts, and I got one saying that the package had been delivered and signed for....I went outside and looked around, and saw the box next door. The label had our proper address and all, and our neighbors said no one ever rang their bell.

It was fairly close to the holidays, which probably had something to do with it, but there was clearly a lot of sloppiness on the driver's part. Anyway, I think the shipping-to-work option is probably the best bet. A PITA, but there it is.
