I was expecting a couple of parcels from Amazon yesterday, and tracking showed they arrived at my front door at 1009 local. They were nowhere to be seen when I arrived home. My wife never saw them, my neighbors never saw them, they were not in the bushes, on the back porch, nowhere. I talked to the local postal supervisor, and he said GPS showed the carrier was sitting at the end of my driveway when they were scanned. While I have not been so keen on the service delivery of this particular carrier, I can't imagine scanning the parcels and not walking the 80 feet to my door, and the carrier could even drive up to my garage and reduce that walk to 20 feet. I spoke to the same supervisor this morning, and he seemed very uncomfortable talking to me. He said he showed the carrier our house on Google Street View, and she supposedly claimed she remembered our house and exactly where she placed the parcels. I just got the vibe that the guy on the phone wasn't being straight with me. He did offer that parcel theft has never been a known issue in our community, although I guess that could be changing.
The total value wasn't high, and Amazon has already issued me a refund, but that's not the only issue. My wife and I and several other people on our street have ordered online a lot. No one's ever had a problem until now. There's no way to know if we are now being targeted, if this was a one-off - or if the parcels were actually delivered. There are no security cameras that will tell us. It was probably a waste of time, but I filed mail theft complaints for both items with USPS. I'm usually a pretty good at picking up voice inflections and body language, and my conversation with the USPS guy this morning just seemed . . . off. I'll just have to keep a close eye on this situation.
