UPS delivered to wrong address
 
So I come home tonight and there is a box on my front step, huh, I didn't order anything. It is addressed to a name I don't recognize, with my address on it. I've only lived here since June... It came from Converse, I will call UPS in the morning, what do you think the odds of them picking it up are?

Pretty good or drop it off at a local UPS store.

Geronimo '74 02-14-2011 10:18 PM

Who signed for it?

slodave 02-14-2011 10:21 PM

You don't always have to sign for things.

porsche4life 02-14-2011 10:22 PM

Nobody apparently, Nobody would have been home...


Dave, there aren't UPS Stores around here.... The local UPS hub is where we drop packages, it is open really weird hours, and way out of my way.... I'll call, and tell them I have left it on my step, if they don't come soon, I guess I got a free pair of shoes....

You get deliveries from UPS at Radio Shack? You can always give it to the driver.

Geronimo '74 02-14-2011 10:25 PM

What size are they? :)

Not signing for delivery?? WTF is up with that??

porsche4life 02-14-2011 10:27 PM

Idk g, I didn't open them... Yet....

slodave 02-14-2011 10:28 PM

Freedom! :D Or more revenue. You're choice. Things that are not worth that much are often sent without requiring a signature.

porsche4life 02-14-2011 10:28 PM

Given my current luck, they will be one size too big, or one size too small...

slodave 02-14-2011 10:29 PM

You have to make several real attempts to give it back before you can claim it. UPS does know where it was delivered to...

Call me cynical, but this sounds like an example of credit-card theft.

The person whose name is on the package probably had their credit card/ info stolen by some kid, and then the kid went online to order the shoes, and had the shoes shipped to YOUR address, hoping to pick them up before you got home.

It happens all the time..

porsche4life 02-14-2011 10:32 PM

I've gotten mail with this name on it once before, since it was mail, it was easy to return to sender...

You forget, this is OK, the local hoodlums aren't smart enough for that.... ;)

aap1966 02-14-2011 10:33 PM

Hey, they're mine! I wondered where they had got to!
Just forward them to me when you get achance..............;)

porsche4life 02-14-2011 10:34 PM

No problem, just paypal me the shipping costs...

Don't ship them via UPS. :D

aap1966 02-14-2011 10:36 PM

C.o.d ok??

porsche4life 02-14-2011 10:36 PM

Who says I was going to send them at all? Lets keep the fraud chain going... ;)

aap1966 02-14-2011 10:40 PM

I have a dieing uncle in Nigeria who collects Converse. Send me the shoes and your bank account details and I'll send you US$10,000,000. Do it today and you get a Russian bride thrown in!

slodave 02-14-2011 10:42 PM

When I was going for my CCNA, my instructor fell for the Russian bride thing. We tried to be happy for him, but knew what the outcome would be. He was out a few thousand and shattered.
