It's Christmas time, and bitches out here be getting desperate. They see a small box in a bag, and think it might be something neat, like an iPad, iPhone, Apple Watch, or even jewelry. It's small and light, so it must be one of those.

Jokes on them - it was a PCIe 4.0 m.2 for his PS5. Not exactly sexy, or anything worth stealing if you don't know what it is. Hope it was worth cutting open the bag with a box cutter, damaging the box, then trying to hide your crime by using packing tape on the bag. He got a $40 credit out of it, and I hope Amazon does a forensic investigation into what happened.

"How do you know was the delivery driver? It could have been anyone!"

I don't think anybody but the delivery driver would have tried to steal it, saw that it wasn't anything worth stealing, then actually delivered it to the house it was supposed to be delivered to.

this. though i hope amazon goes through with the investigation. they could do it to someone else.
it's not worth stealing something to lose job.

I just did my first flex delivery and accidentally tore one of the bags a little bit

but not enough that you could get the box open/out or anything

Unless you have cameras outside your residence, there is really no way of confirming who did it.

True, but I believe it happened en route. I was home all day, and didn't hear a car pull up, a driver get out, or the package being delivered. My walls aren't thick enough to hide traffic noise or car doors closing right outside my driveway. So, I'm thinking they were very cautious and quiet about delivering it so they could get away without alerting us. It was very apparent there was someone home.

Their turn over rate is like 200% so I'm not sure they're sweating losing a driver.

As some who has been heavily involved In online retail and ex amazon. They won't do jack for a low value item. It usually has to be repeated theft and high value items.

I even saw them not bother to investigate a stolen ps5. Lots of scummy drivers, customers and even syndicates.

I think it's 50/50 on the driver. Could have even been someone in the warehouse.

everyone dreaded delivery day to see if the ps5 was at the door or not.
same apply's to other high value goods ie graphic's cards. shoes and xbox sex systems.

I'm glad I live in an area where I've never had to worry about that. Probably at least a dozen times where I've left a package out overnight because I forgot to grab it after seeing a delivery notification.

I've started being far more anxious with my delivery notifications when the $400 graphics card I ordered got delivered to the neighbour's house instead of mine. It was supposed to be signed for. It wasn't. It was a Friday, and the FedEx driver just wanted to fuck off for the weekend.

I ordered a SATA cable to get data off a HDD from a computer that died and the fucking packaging was sliced open with a box cutter when I got it >_> It's like someone saw it was some random cable and abandoned stealing it

Hope someone had a nice Christmas with that $7 package

Amazon just shipped us a replacement package and we got it a couple of days later.

Shit gets crazy around this time of year. Having worked at a both UPS and Amazon in the past, during the holiday season both places hire so many extra seasonal bodies because the workload is insane and you better believe in that mix are a bunch of bad apples who steal packages.

At UPS once we busted up a ring of thieves who were working with a handful of drivers. They would put a mark on the packages to let the drivers know which ones to dump and they were selling the items online and splitting the money. All sorts of shit like that happens this time of year in that industry.

if someone steals your package just ask for another one. as long as you ordered from a business and not an individual seller, it's a victimless crime

I mean, no? Petty theft isn't victimless, especially when it costs the purchaser a few days of inconvenience to receive their replacement, and it being incumbent on them to prove that the package was altered, broken, or just didn't show up at all.

Makes me glad that my neighbourhood is relatively inaccessible, and my house is near a very high traffic area. Makes stealing things more trouble than it's worth.
