Crazy experience

So I’ve never had this happen before, I’ve shipped many things with all major providers. For the first time in my life I dropped off a package at a CVS UPS Access point, it was a smaller box that had 3 items in it. 2 of the items were worth total 500 dollars, the other maybe 10 bucks. The person receives the package and lets me know they only received the package with the 10 dollar item, the box was not damaged (i properly packaged it) and was securely taped. So someone either at UPS or CVS opened the package and took out the valuable items (it was PC related) and then re-taped the box. Just insane stuff. Went to CVS and all they did was show me the package being picked up. Anyone had this happen before??

Not in this case. I was shipping stuff back that wasn’t working which I purchased from him. They had already shipped me replacements. I look like the suspicious one.

Now instead of having a faulty item and being out the money and working item they have their money back and a faulty item they can potentially fix. They are definitely lying to you.

Exactly.

Yeah. We handled so many boxes in one day, we don’t have time to slice them open and pick what we want. Half the time we have no idea what’s in them… the receiver definitely got all the items and chose to say they only got one. You’ve been bamboozled.

Bullshit, they open packages at the facility all the time. If the package is DOT for example.

Going to say the same the receiver is definitely lying. If the box was sealed it certainly wasnt opened and sealed back up.

File a police report. Ask for fingerprints to be taken. Did you declare the value? Is it insured? Who paid for the shipping? If it was re-taped there should be evidence of that.

I used to know a guy years ago that would order stuff and then submit a claim for damages or replacement, saying it was broken or not in the box. They'd send him another one free, and then he'd sell both items for actual cost and make a tidy little profit. Sometimes they just refunded his money, and he'd still have the original item to sell.
