    I would put another box out with a camera to see WHO is taking the bait

    Not really what you want to hear but I was waited for a UPS package and I live on the 11th floor of a 14 story complex.
    My door is down towards the end of the hallway. I actually heard a sliding sound of a box while sitting in my living room and within seconds I opened the door and my box was there but the delivery person was no where to be seen. UPS drivers actually crafted the physics?? of throwing or kicking a package down what ever distance needed to stop exactly at the door:eek:

    Ain't that the truth, I hauled a car body to a scrap yard in Vegas and had to wait in line, it was amazing all the new stuff piled on loads waiting to go in. We saw several new looking wheelbarrows a small concrete mixer to nae a few!

    This happened just this morning to me. Not as bad as your situation, but it pissed me off.

    I wish I had video of the day I had an ammo delivery of 500 rds of 50 cal. It was from Paragon (now out of business).
    I drove in to see shinny stuff all over my driveway. I parked and got out to find 2 of 5 boxes of ammo all over my driveway. I think the guy threw them out his truck. o_O

    I think my next order was from Aim and it was 5k of 8mm. :p
    It was stacked nice that time.

    Wow, real nice. Professional. (by the way, what kind of delivery service is that with a regular mid 2000s GMC truck?)

    That's what I said when I called the wife pissed about it Lucas! That was the first thing I noticed. It was one of those craptastic independent companies that sub out to any mouth breather with a driver's license (apparently anyway). Since Amazon started the employee delivery method, I've had more damaged/missing packages in a year than in the past 10.

    But back to the op, youve definitely got am uphill climb tracking down your heads. Good luck. (And these situations are part of the reason I have cameras. We've not had problems with theft, knock on wood. But bad delivery's, oh yeah. Our USPS mail carrier is the worst. I've made a point to stare at her through the bay window and point at the camera after she underhand lobbed a box from 15 feet one day.)

    I was home on a weekday, expecting a new router from AT&T, and saw the driver come halfway to the house, stop near my oak tree, and fling it out on the lawn. Another package at Christmas was in a blue ‘trash’ bag, flung under a tree near the driveway culvert by the road (a quarter mile or so from the house). Alternately, I met a driver near the mailbox and she couldn’t give it to me there because her geofence required she go down the driveway to tge house.
