how some people manage to not drown in their own incompetence.
I ordered some replacement Lithium battery packs for a power drill and they disappeared while in the hands of Fedex Ground (some time after being shipped on 20 July). Fedex records claim the package was delivered and signed for by "MM". The only person I know with the initials "MM" lives 400+ miles away. I filed a claim with Fedex and it was denied.
I re-odered last week when the batteries were back in stock and selected "text notification" of shipping status. Got a text that the package had been picked up around noon on 17 August.
I checked the solar lights along the front walk around midnight on 17 August and there's a package on the porch with "lithium battery" warning labels. No idea when it arrived except that it was after noon because my better half had taken another delivery around then. I certainly didn't pay for 12 hour delivery from Pennsylvania so I checked the shipping label and it was dated 20 July. Also got a picture of it before I opened the package.
Did another package to this address from the same sender trigger some type of "Watch for a decoy and the cops?" response from someone in Fedex? I don't think I'm being overly suspicious about the problem being within Fedex when a supposedly "delivered" package turns up on my porch almost a month late.
Perhaps I should order some thermite with a remote control, set it off when it is supposedly delivered and then watch for smoke?
I have a "driveway alert" unit on order with two sensors, one of which will be mounted to the ceiling of the porch, looking down. It will have a unique alert tone so we'll know when someone has been on/near the porch. No more trusting them to knock or ring the bell or put things near the door and out of the rain (Amazon is bad about "just barely" getting things onto the porch but the photo notification of delivery does let me know a package is there). The other sensor will be watching the driveway, so we'll get two alerts on future "silent" package delivery.
I may yet have the security cameras doing "snapshot on motion" and "upload snapshot" using the large web space I now have. When the 400MB service was discontinued (plenty of room for saving books in progress) the step up was to 10GB so lots of space for still images. Be nice to have had that working today to ID who dropped the package off almost a month late.
