What would you do if items from Ebay had beenlost?

I ordered three vintage Nos tubes from Ebay dealer.

it is supposed to be delivered today through USPS.

I had followed three packages through USPS tracking.

About 5 PM today, I got the email that all three packages got delivered at 4.11 pm left at front door or porch of my house.

But I could not find anything around my house.

My community comprised of 25 houses seated at 2 acres each on the cul de sac.

Thus it is very unlikely that stranger pick up the packages in less than an hour.


Thus I sent a following email to my neighbors but no positive response yet.


What would you do if you were me?

I had never lost a package delivered to my house last 5 years.



thanks in advance

Thomas


Hello neighbors
I was expecting three small packages through USPS.
Then I got the email that those were delivered on my front door at 4 PM today
But I could not find them on my front doors.
Sometimes they mis deliver to my neighbors.
If you happen to see three small packages delivered to Thomas Kong on your front door or porch, then please let me know it.
thanks
Thomas

This happened for me with a Krell preamp in December. You think, 'oh I paid by Paypal, I'm covered'- bulls**t.
UPS said they dropped it (didn't get the signature they were supposed to) and that's all Paypal needed. With nothing else, they found for the seller, who had insurance. So, F me and my $1400 in this case. Good thing the credit card company ultimately handled it, but lowlives following the UPS, Amazon or mail truck around are a big reality.

I solved this 12 years ago. All packages from USPS, FedEx, UPS have standing orders, plus a sign, plus hiRes cameras, to deliver in my box on my porch. It is a steel box, painted in Wife-Approved paint, bolted to my concrete porch. Lid stays open until a package is put in it. On closing, it locks. It requires a key to open it, lock is not exposed. It’s 4 ft x 2.5 ft by 2 ft high. The delivery folks love it! I’ve had them take pics of it. I’ve never had anything disappear. Plus, I have camera proof of non-delivery!

Wolfie, great idea, a friend and I talked about getting that same set up.

I'm in a townhouse, so P.O. Box, Fed-Ex & UPS hub locations are my alternate.

You can buy cheap WiFi cameras on Amazon for $50. Get the ones that take a 64GB card. That will get you several days of recording. Never had to send the video to someone, but when you tell couriers, vendors that you have security cameras that clearly show no delivery, then you get a much much difference reception.
