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.

You don't always have to sign for things.

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.

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

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

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..

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....

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!

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.
