Shipping has gotten nuts this year. Almost everyone I know has had issues with most of the major services this year. A big problem is fedex is signing for packages themselves and leaving on the porch. I have seen several doorbell cameras videos from friends showing them doing this.

Yea. I don't think there was actually an attempt at a 'scam', but I've had a lot of dealings with UPS prior to the pandemic, but once the pandemic started they just went downhill. I've talked to some customer service 'off the record' and been told that they will misclassify items and list things as delivered when they weren't just because they are too backlogged. Which seems ridiculous. Just tell someone that. I actually had 2 situations similar to this where packages were listed as delivered, never delivered and then actually delivered about a week later.

This happened to me with a $6000 medical supplies package. They said someone called to change the address, which no one did, but wouldn’t tell me what address. Ended up having to file an insurance claim, which I won, to get my (health insurance’s) money back. A few weeks later my neighbor tells me they got a weird package, and it ended up being mine. They had given it back to UPS and it was long gone. If they would have told me the address, I could have gotten it from my neighbor and they could have saved the $6000 insurance payout.

Also sad is that there absolutely are people that will video snipe orders. There’s tons of mail workers that are into tech and are also theives. It being a felony deters a lot of theft though, especially with how tracking works now. This sounds like a “simplest explanation is the right one” though. It was never going to be there in one day; a week is about on par for intercontinental orders even when expedited. Someone messed up from the get go, then logged it as delivered just to be done with it, then lied to you about the whole “someone called” thing, and snowballed from there. This happens to me every other day, being in a newly built neighborhood and I’ve gotten used to it, knowing the system. But I’d definitely be overthinking if it was and order like that.

I had a issue about 3 months ago with UPS where a valuable order containing coins from the US Mint had mysteriously gone missing after it scanned at my local sorting facility before it would normally reach to me at my home. Never had it recovered or found, ended up just getting a refund from the Mint. If I had to guess, some employee at the facility saw the shipper and snatched it for themselves. I know they can lookup this information because when I spoke to the manager they can see in their system who the shipper is despite the shipping label only saying "Processing Facility". Very shady....

Post office delivered a completely flat and empty box covered in little stickers to let me know they delivered a completely flat and empty box. Needless to say the box was insured, the contents weren't and in their mind nothing could be done about it. Like what? What's the point of insured shipping if that only covers the box? And why deliver just the box and act like you did a good job? This was a few years ago so people cant even talk about how crazy things are with the virus and whatnot. It's also not the only time I've had issues with the post office.

I could see that being the case, but them getting an actual new address from who knows where is still what I haven't figured out, and why they stuck to the story twice before changing it up near the end of it

Dunno if any commentators mentioned it but some companies who don't want to be blamed for late shipping will lie and hope you believe it just so you don't complain. Like I ordered something from best buy and at first was told it was delivered to the mailbox, then at my door, then still in transit, then finally that the package was actually damaged during shipping and being shipped back to best buy (that is after an investigation was started). I have always had problems with UPS. I also used to work for the Post Office and witnessed my supervisor do the same thing telling someone they are looking for their package when she was actually at her desk doing nothing.

The fact UPS is really this incompetent

Omg this exact thing happened to me when i ordered 800 dollars worth of pc components ik 800 is not the best system but its what i could afford, they said it was delivered to a different address and the mail person went to go get it back apparently she knew where she left it definitely tried to keep my order for her self… thank god someone with some kind of community is actually discussing this with other so they are alarmed… HOPE YOU HAVE A NICE WEEDING.

I have had a similar thing happen to me in Australia. Parcel sent from US to my PO box via UPS, product was redirected to a home address (not mine), chased up with UPS here in Oz and US, sender as well. UPS said that they had "RETRIEVED" the parcel from the other address. Ended up being stuck at depot for 15 days, until they "FOUND IT". Got them to deliver to a friends shop, and opened it up in front of them, all OK. So yes it does happen and more often than you think.

I hate when shipping companies don't help out it's so frustrating!

I had this happen with some customized car parts. It shipped via FedEx and spent a week going from California to Illinois and then disappeared. The guy I bought the parts from in the time got arrested on drug charges so I couldn't even contact him. No idea what happened to the parts. I also had USPS leave New York go to California and then come to the Midwest and visit, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Wisconsin, Nebraska before ending up in Illinois finally delivered 3 weeks after shipping on a "Priority" shipped box.

patiently waiting for the next LAN party video

Occam's Razor, the simplest answer is usually the right one. UPS made a mistake, probably several. The package probably was still in route from China. They likely confused your tacking updates with a different package. It's that simple. I've had it happen. During the pandemic it's been worse. They are so slammed, mistakes will be made. I've had inaccurate updates saying packages were delivered when they were still on the truck. I've had updates that it was delivered to my house, when it went to a neighbors house, that happened twice. I've had updates saying it would be delivered on a certain day when there was no way it could make it to my part of country in that time frame. Nothing nefarious, no scam, no thief, nothing intentional, just mistakes.

Danny, I had a similar issue with FedEx last year. I sent in my laptop to Dell Repair Depot to get fixed, we have pro support so the turn around was suppose to be 5 days. I didn't hear from them after 5 days so I contacted Dell to find out what happened and get the tracking number which they did, said is was done and shipped already. I checked the tracking and sure enough it was delivered a couple days ago at this point and to a different address and a signed for by someone I never heard of. I called FedEx and pretended to be the person that shipped it and told them of what happened so they can give me all the details and demand a investigation. They said they send this case to an investigation and gave me a case number and that they would call me back, they never did. I had to call every few days to check up on it and I had to do this multiple times, so weeks go by. I think the last time they told me that the driver did go to the address and recover the package. A few days later I received a pretty messed up box with my laptop. The whole process took over a month.

Did you buy this on amazon? They did the same thing to me and it was a inside job. Your diligence saved your ass.

This is a boxing method called FTID, where they try redirecting the package to another address during transit ( method involves tampering with the label ). Yes it's a scam done by some social engineers, but they usually target big companies with their merchandise return procedures (RMA). I wouldn't wanna think someone really targetting single customers, first that's despicable, second it's too hard and a waste of time, because normal people will always contact fedex/ authority. Companies on the other hand don't have much time to handle those hassles.

As a former employee of UPS I can tell you what they did was BS you because they misplaced the package and boxes where mixed up and ended up on the wrong truck so that BS week was them basically trying to find it.

Talk to Jeff from Craft Computing on how he does his shipping address. I have send packages to his PO Box in Oregon without issues like this.

All my UPS packages get rerouted to either a access point or a UPS Store. No risk of theft

Started working at a logistics company April of this year. Shipments are getting fucked up either inbound or outbound, international or domestic. The lack of warehouse employees, package handlers, all of them!

I deal with a lot of different couriers and one of the things I learn is that never use couriers to ship to P.O. Boxes or apartments/condos. Always use postal service like USPS for those as they will have access to those buildings. If you must use UPS, Fedex, DHL or other couriers for your PO Boxes, I suggest having them hold it at your local UPS store or warehouse and picking it up yourself to avoid any headaches like you had for this shipment.

The supposed phone call warranted the suspicion 100%. Given he is a KZreadr it is far more relevant. Its obnoxious that the chick is calling him dramatic. She is invalidating his actions when they were fair. Very immature.

UPS lied most likely or wrong tracking number put in. Delivery has been all over the place lately. I had my daughters Christmas present delivered 2 streets down once expensive thing it was to glad the neighbors were honest.

I have the same issue with fed ex right now. Gpu was suppose to be here Tuesday, said they tried to drop it but they went to my neighbors and left a slip saying they tried to drop it. I called fed ex told them it was wrong house and gave them my phone number and directions for the driver. Yesterday they left a slip on my neighbors door again 🤷🏼‍♂️. Called again suppose to be here today it is soooooo frustrating. I was thinking the same thing, delivery driver knows and wants the gpu 😂. The place I purchased from called me today and said if it don’t come I need to go to the fedex facility and pick it up. They were on the phone with some manager. So if it don’t come I’m going to get it today same thing I will open it while I’m there just in case. Also the company refunded me 100$ for the inconvenience 🤷🏼‍♂️🤑.

Simple answer... Ups Driver ripped off the package.. Had it done.. They used to rip off hundreds of Dell Computers when they were Dells shippers.. In one case they took them from the first load into the truck and pulled off and dropped off them and then went on their way..

Good vid man, glad u got your package!!!....I recently had to RMA my Powercoler Red Devil 6700xt that I purchased on launch day back in March. After about 10 days they received my card, they sent me email with tracking and my address as delivery (because FedEx don't deliver to PO box either). So the day has come that my card is supposed to be delivered.... But it doesn't come and tracking info says it was delivered at 2pm??!!??! I've been watching out all day for my package it was never delivered. So I had to contact Powercolor because FedEx told me that the delivery address did not match my residential address where it was supposed to be delivered. And FedEx couldn't give me the other address due to privacy concern. So I call power color and they say oh no it's delivered, to this address you provided... Which wasn't the address I provided, it was a completely different address. Then somebody else came on the line, some higher up manager or something and he gave me the whole scoop of the story. Powercolor changed the delivery address last minute to go to a FedEx pickup/delivery store because they didn't want my card just to be sitting on my doorstep in case if I wasn't home and or to make it less like a scam on my end. So I had to go to FedEx store provide my ID and tracking number and I finally got my card!! But it sure was a headache cuz I sure thought I was out of the $800 I paid for this. But thanks again for a great vid glad you got your package and everything worked out!

There's actually a major scam place operating somewhere in Russia that's called like polar express or some shit. I was selling a lot of giftcards that I got from friends, family, etc on ebay and someone from the US purchased it somewhere in like Seattle. I shipped it out with USPS tracking and everything, a couple days later and I get a message from the buyer that he did not receive the package even though USPS says it was delivered. I spent like 10 hours that day calling people and figuring out where the hell the package is until I came across a Yandex.ru page linked to the buyer (His workplace) and it was some place called Polarexpress.co or something like that. I got my Russian friend that I know to come over to my place and we called them up, he pretended to be the guy who bought the items and was basically asking about where the package is and they proved that the package with MY tracking number was in their warehouse in Seattle (The shipping address). The strange part is that why would a Russian company own a warehouse in Seattle, I later found out they are a package stealing/scam company. Basically I tipped them off to the FBI with the audio recording, Ebay returned my money but the package has been missing ever since. I'm sure they are still operating to this day stealing giftcards, but that was by far the most nerve racking experience i've ever had with a package.

I hate to be the "Devil's Advocate" here but hear me out. As you said earlier in the video, this was just a freak accident. Your package was never delivered to a second address and the likelihood that the second address being an error is very likely. in the past year the mail system has struggled, regardless of the service. I live in Chicago and I cannot begin to tell you how many times USPS, UPS and FED-EX have missed opportunities like these. I do think that you over reacted, however, it is understandable and very frustrating. Glad you got the package.

good vid. nothing worse than waiting for a package that doesnt turn up. i had a pair of air max trainers and tracksuit signed for by someone and had to file a claim.at least it wasnt a graphics card, it was bad enough waiting for my 3060ti all day till it finally came at 9pm

Recently a pickup from walmart showed as picked up, never received a pickup confirmation. Waited 15min for them to find it(felt like forever). Currently having a similar issue to you with FedEx the update says no one was home and was returned to sender, I WAS HOME ALL DAY did not see or hear a truck and I have a loud ass chihuahua that let's me know when someone is here. 😤

Been going on alot on Mercari. The app is flooded with screenshot pictures at low prices and send fake tracking numbers.

I love it when they (UPS and FedEx) say it's "out for delivery", but it never comes up until the next day. Also I had a package shipped from California to Jacksonville all I need to do is come a bit south to me, but UPS messed up and sent it all the way to Miami so it came a day late.

Hey Danny same type of thing happened to me I ordered a strix hellos tower it showed up unwrapped so everyone knew what it was then I ordered some fans they left a message saying that nobody was home but I was they showed up a week later and the box was opened and the seal broken I think they thought it was a gpu so they tried to steal it

Ur not alone in not trusting any of the delivery company's here in the US. especially ups and the usps absolutely terrible.

This is old, but I think what happened was that maybe they shipped one thinking that it was yours and it wasn’t yours that shipped so they thought “oh it delivered” but in reality it was the other dudes package that delivered.

I had my Radeon RX 5600xt stolen ... main reason was because XFX did not package it ... it was a bare XFX box with the lables slapped on it, the driver stole it, and poilce recovered it a few days later and XFX even refunded some of my money for the GPU being stolen. they also apologized for not packaging it correctly. annnnd i had my Corsair Dominator stolen too. Never got it back so reached out to corsair told them the story and they sent me out a new kit of dominator platinum. but ive had more than PC parts weirdly and suddenly go missing.

I am so glad everything worked out. Just as a sanity check, I would have done the same exact thing in your situation. That seemed really suspicious. That is a really valuable package not just for its contents but also due to the fact that it was part of your business working with a brand. I would have been very paranoid about that whole situation.

Fun fact. Machines read the address of every single package and envelope that is sent through the mail, if it cannot be read they will sent to a "bad handwriting specialist". If both of those steps don't work they get shipped to Atlanta and held for an amount of time depending on the type of item.

They probably tried to steal it. Have a friend who ordered a ps5 and on the way the address suddenly change to a different location. So he called ups saying wtf why did it change and they said it his address was wrong so they changed it (one number was off) didn’t even let him know it changed. However the address they put was different completely different number, town, and road. Also the wrong address he put was going to go to his neighbors house.

I'd be dramatic too if someone stole or tried to take like $2000+ worth of stuff lol I'd be freaking out

You are NOT being dramatic. I would do the SAME thing you did. This is your reputation we're talking about here. Don't let people call you dramatic when you're definitely not being that way.

I had an issue once with UPS that was kind of similar in some ways to this or similar at least to the original scenario of what might have happened. I had purchased a parts lot from a guy. Basically a gaming PC kit. It wasn't put together but it was all the components. I had the tracking information. It was marked as delivered. It wasn't. Much like you because I did buy the shipping the seller did they made me have him contact them. So he does. UPS delivered my package aparently by mistake to an office building. The recovered it the next day. It was destroyed. I don't know if UPS destroyed it, or if the people in the office destroyed it but it was opened. And resealed but resealed with just strips of scotch tape. Like an office would be likely to have. When I opened it the PC case was all dented in, the motherboards CPU slot protector had been removed (I found it in the box) and the pins were smashed. The whole thing was basically a wash. UPS didn't want to accept responsibilty despite it clearly being their fault for delivering the package to an incorrect street address. Fortunately I had asked for insurance. So the seller had to file a claim. Also fortunately he was a good guy and he sent me my money back. Technically speaking he could have kept the money and I'd have had no recourse. The way shipping insurance works is pretty wonky when it's a business transaction.

Glad it worked out. I feel ya man. I picked up my 3080 yesterday after being on a waiting list since October. I hesitated even getting out of my car to help my wife get her bike out of the back and it was only 2 feet away - people be crazy and GPU are gold these days!

I've always had issues with UPS. I even worked there, it's not a good company to work for. Also GALAX is a pretty well known company, at least in Brazil. You see their cards more commonly in computer stores than you do like Gigabyte, or Asus.

The weirdest part to me is that it made it from Hong Kong to Lynnwood in 1 day. That’s almost better than overnight parts from Japan in the car world. 🙃

DHL is a beast when it comes to overnight Shipping. I ordered a lens recently from eBay coming from Japan. It shipped DHL on Wednesday @ 9am and I received it by Thursday @ 5pm.

I agree with you mate, I think there was something sketchy going on. Someone marked it as delivered and stashed it aside in the warehouse and when they saw all the hassle it was raising they confidently said they found it.

I have a theory maybe they were trying to call you about the PO box thing but they called the wrong number and the person who picked up thought it might have been his package and gave his address.

"I don't want to name the company" proceeds to show the graphics card sent by the company in question 😂😂😂

Hey Cube, Danny did say that he probably would show the name of the company at 0:40 of the video, "if things worked out"; which they did.

@@Doggie64 I thought he'd make a separate video. Just by the sound of it 😂

don't just trust the system. It would have probably got lost if you didn't call them 20 times.

Electronic tracking system error. The fact it showed out for delivery from China the very next day should have been the first clue. Between the handling and flight time then going through customs (government work my man) there was no possible way it would be there. I’ve had it happen several times, annoying but it happens

He was indeed dramatic for a good reason.

It’s awesome that u were able to make it work out. I lost an item worth 2k with USPS because I was being dumb and waited longer than 60days. I should have been dramatic like u. Worst stressful 60 days of my life.

He sounds like he’s about to breakdown crying the entire video

I obviously already cried and edited all of those parts out

If this happened for me and it was 3080ti i would go nuts in the UPS.

Damn dude! I'm glad you got the package because that would have been an expensive loss on the companies part. I am also glad you had NOTHING to do with it. I look forward to the video on the GPU! I hope to get at your level someday.

I would watch whatever video you post brother, you are the best keep grinding and killing it

Ordered a cpu cooler a while back. First time shipped by ups, crushed all to hell and arrived late. I emailed and they sent me a replacement via usps. Arrived in 2 days and no damage. However, I was out of town for a week recently, and the usps mailman crumpled all of my mail in my box, including my son’s birth certificate. I guess it’s hard to stack flat pieces of paper in a box.

Ship happens. Someone called about a different package and UPS mistakenly applied that call to your package. Yes a pain, but UPS took care of it in the end.

oh man your pobox's are open till 6pm mine close at 3:30 and its a pain in the arse to get there most days since I work day shifts. normally if I cant get someone else to pick it up for me im stuck waiting till saturday and they close at 12:30pm on saturdays but luckily I don't work saturdays

What a weird story, luckely it has a good ending. You had me on edge the whole video though, lol. If ever need some advice or helping hand on cyber security (you earlier mentioned that you had the feeling someone might be watching your emails), let me know. Its my daily work. Cheers

It's pretty common for a driver to take a package that they know they're going to have an issue with delivering (or that they want to try to keep) and scan it that way while leaving it at the warehouse and the investigation will go like this exactly. I hope it doesn't happen again to you in the future.

It's not necessarily a pointless video.... It's a good set of suggestions on how to address such a strange situation with a level head in a skeptical way and most importantly the best way to confirm the package hasn't been tampered with.... I actually have had an issue with USPS delivering to the wrong mailbox in my building, which is a residential hotel, which led to the 40$ DVD going missing. Yet because the tracking says it was scanned at my house it's been a nightmare trying to get the package reimbursed because the investigation keeps dismissing my claims saying it was delivered stating it was scanned at my place so I must've gotten it or else it was my fault because my mailbox must be unsecure even though it's a locked box only I have a key to that's under camera. It's left me forced to have to do a paper copy of an insurance claim since doing the form online or calling them leads to the same results of being dismissed by investigation before getting to insurance, but I've not gotten around to it yet due to multiple reasons so I've not gotten it resolved and am out 40$ till it is.

Dude check your girl bro! "Are you done being dramatic?" Like is she for real?? She should try going through all that and see how it feels.

Especially with something as expensive as that! I'm sorry I just really didn't appreciate her sour and quite frankly nasty attitude at all!

Very similar to my issue with a new laptop shipped through the same company. They have delivered to me literally hundreds of times but this time with the most expensive purchase they told me my address was an empty lot

I had my O11 Dynamic Mini delivered to the wrong building by UPS not long ago. I'm located at 452 and it was delivered to 352 which thankfully was just down the street. My number was on the package and the establishment called me thank goodness for that. With all this fuss one piece of styrofoam was broken and the bottom edge of my case was bent. I rebent it a little and with the glass side panel on it isn't noticeable at all.
