Today, I learned that last week, the UPS man gave my package to my neighbor for safekeeping. It was over five-hundred dollars' worth of merchandise. My neighbor left for Canada on Saturday. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, the mailman delivered my new phone to my neighbour's house. This was okay, because he left a note in my mailbox informing me so. Now my crazy neighbour won't give me the package because, "*I* signed for it!" FML
Today, I received an email from a shipping company telling me they had dropped off a package of expensive electronics at the front door. Too bad someone stole it before I made it to the door. FML
Today, I got a notification that a package had been delivered. I opened my door and saw it on at doorstep. I was expecting one, so I grabbed and opened it, then realized it wasn’t mine, but my neighbor’s. I had to awkwardly re-tape it, then sneak over and leave the disturbing contents of the box on their porch before they noticed. FML
Today, a phone I bought online turned up while I was at work. The delivery guy left a note saying he'd left the package with my neighbor at #10. When I went and knocked on the door and asked for the package, my neighbor said "Nope, nothing delivered here." and quickly shut the door in my face. FML
Today, I got a notification that my package had been delivered. I searched my porch, checked with my neighbors, and even contacted customer support. It was sitting in my car's trunk because I'd picked it up from a parcel locker yesterday. FML
Today, I received a text saying that a package had just been delivered to the house. By the time I reached the front door, it had been stolen. FML
Today, a couple of packages were stolen from our apartment doorstep shortly after being delivered. A little while later, the thief brought the torn packaging back and left them at the bottom of our stairs. FML
Today, I was home alone tanning in my backyard which is fairly secluded. I took my top off and laid there for awhile before I looked over and saw the UPS guy standing at my gate with a package because nobody answered the door. I looked horrified and he said not to worry, he'd seen better. FML
Today, while I was home sick from work, my neighbor got packages delivered. Our apartments have had a lot of thefts lately so, being neighborly, I brought her stuff inside to wait. When she came home, I gave them right to her. Instead of thanking me, she told the office that I was the thief all along. FML
Today, I witnessed a postal worker with an important parcel stopping before knocking on my door, shrugging, getting back in his van, and driving away. I couldn't get the door open quickly enough before he left. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe they're the type of people who leave spare keys? Or you could call them and ask if they had someone house sit who could let you in?

Well hopefully they will give it back OP; assuming they're coming back.

Why would the UPS man do that in the first place? The neighbor could have been an ex-convict or thief. I hope you can trust your neighbor.

It took you a week to figure that out, OP? I figured most people keep a pretty close eye on their tracking status, especially for merchandise worth that much money.

I track anything coming through UPS regardless of money because it is freaking UPS. They are know for screw ups.

Since when is UPS known for screw ups? I have never had a problem and I've shipped hundreds of things. FedEx, on the other hand...

I've had problems with UPS before, and I've known a good amount of people with problems as well. UPS really didnt improve at my old place until the UPS Store popped up.

The UPS guy pegged it right when it came to safe keeping, and now it is safe from even you.

Your merchandise is being sold right now on the Canadian black market - aka Kijiji haha

Don't be fooled by the sketchy name. Kijiji is great- it's even better than ebay!

The man in da brown uni did not do his job. If the person receiving the package was not there to sign for it, the driver should have left a 'Delivery Attempt' notice on your door. OP should hold UPS liable if they don't get their package from the neighbors.....

Call the UPS company, are they allowed to do that?
