tander Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Well I come home from my part time job knowing that my order from Tackle Warehouse is awaiting for me, no package. Check tracking number and it shows it was delivered on front porch. Looked everywhere so I called TW and they said look tomorrow when I could see good around the house (dark when I got home) and check with neighbors. Well I checked good with a light and checked with neighbors, no package. TW said that they would start a claim with UPS and see exactly where it went, I think it was stolen. I assume that it was insured and that they would send me another shipment but I don't know, never had this to happen. I got a rod coming tomorrow and you can bet that I will be home until it is delivered. 2 Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted December 6, 2019 Super User Posted December 6, 2019 We had/have a rash of porch Thieves during the holidays, and beyond. Ask your neighbors if they are at home during the day if they could keep an eye out for any deliveries you have, and if they could hold them for you..Hope you get this resolved..  2 Quote

tander Posted December 6, 2019 Author Posted December 6, 2019 Well I found my package and I found the thief, my daughter. My daughter came by the house while both me and my wife was gone. I suppose she thought someone might steal it on the porch and took the package home. I still don't know why she took it with her, she has keys to my house. She also forgot to call us and let us know that she has my order, KIDS!!!! I am just glad a real thief didn't take it. I am still staying home until my tomorrow order comes. 9 4 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted December 6, 2019 Global Moderator Posted December 6, 2019 I've got 2 rods that have been "in transit to their destination", since the 30th. Haven't moved since then for some reason. I have a feeling if/when they're found by the USPS, they'll be in perfect condition (end sarcasm). 2 1 Quote

cookieman Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 i have an order the same way. ordered another order from Bass Pro within minutes of each other and got the Bass Pro box 2 days ago by FEDEx. Got to love USPO pony express Quote
ike8120 Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 I track all my packages whether it be FedX,UPS or USPS. The other night UPS delivered a package to me ,but tracking said it was 2 packages, confronted the driver, he said I need to track it, I told him tracking stated it was delivered 10 minutes ago. Asked if I checked the neighbors, I said no , he did and the package was there. Also driver spent more time on his cell phone then paying attention to the delivery. Â 1 Quote

Took longer than expected, but all rods reached destination in good shape. 1 Quote
kayaking_kev Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 Anyone else have packages from FedEx that are scheduled for delivery on a Saturday, but the package never shows up until Monday. The last two times that I've had orders from them on Saturdays, I stayed home all day waiting for it and then come Saturday night after no package arrives, the delivery date changes to Monday. Both times the tracking said it left on the truck for delivery Saturday morning at 5:30 am. I just know the next time I have one scheduled on a Saturday and don't stay home, it will actually get delivered and a porch pirate will ****** it.  And, another thing, they seemed to have stopped ringing the doorbell and just set my packages on the porch and leave. I live on the corner of a busy road, someone could easily ****** a package. Quote
JediAmoeba Posted December 6, 2019 Posted December 6, 2019 It is possible the rod is at your local post office. This always happens to me on rods and other large packages- I have to pick them up at the post office because they often cant deliver them. It never shows up on the delivery screen until a few days later for some reason that I need to go pick it up - but I learned my lesson after the first one. The USPS isn't equipped like fedex or ups to deliver packages.   Quote

Also a plus is our delivery drivers always set our packages down softly instead of trying their best LeBron impersonation.  And if a package is destroyed you have evidence it was broken before taking delivery.  The cameras really come in handy during election season when those annoying folks show up at your door with pamphlets. Quote

Super User NYWayfarer Posted December 7, 2019 Super User Posted December 7, 2019 I like ordering items that get delivered by UPS. My son’s friend’s father is our local UPS delivery driver.
