Stolen Ammo...?

[Thegeek]

I'm just surprised. Usually, UPS drops off after my son is home and before I'm home. Can you imagine the backlash on UPS for handing an 11yr old a box of ammo?

Can UPS tell you who signed? If you have the tracking number, you should be able to find that online as well. I've had packages, (not ammo) show delivered online and they were dropped at the USPS (Post Office). I picked them up there.

I've received ammo without anyone signing.

I've never signed for any ammo dropped at the door. Either from Palmetto State or Cabelas. I talked to the UPS driver and asked him why I didn't have to sign. He said the sender has to require it. He said he knew it was ammo cause of the boxes and weight. He said there was no UPS policy that said a signature on ammo.

To the OP, I hope that your ammo and other items are replaced easily. Best of luck to you.

Come to think of it, the three places I've ordered ORM-D items from - all had a box to optionally require signature on delivery. I don't remember if it cost extra, as I opted not to as I knew I would be home to receive them.

As someone who used to drive for Fed-Ex Ground, I can also tell you that it depends on your relationship with whom you are delivering. I don't know how often you speak to your ups driver, but I know I had many people on my route that would I would just make a squiggly line on the sig pad if they were not home because they received deliveries every day and they needed their stuff. Now I'm not saying that it was always ok to do, nor do I know if UPS has a policy forbidding this, but it can and does happen often.

Was this from a retailer? Ammo typically requires a signature for delivery.

thats alway been my dealings.

Call your bank or credit card, and dispute the charges. Do it within 90 days. Problem solved.

Never had to sign for any ammo. Driver just puts it on my porch.

I was going to suggest this as well, however, the bank or card company may side with the seller when they provide shipping and delivery confirmation.

Would have to wait and see, I'd use this as the last option.

I've made several online purchases, and never had to sign for an ammo delivery.

No one signed so I don't think that will be helpful lol


I will dispute with CC company of it comes to that but I am hoping it can be resolved amicably.

Update

I called ammoman and they said they had initiated the tracer and that it usually took about 10 days. 10 days!!! She seemed a little annoyed that I was following up but I politely explained that beyond just her and me sorting our business out I wanted to file a police report but don't want to file something to then find out I filed a false report if it is found in a warehouse somewhere. So if she could please advise me the moment she confirmed whether it was stolen or not so I could do that-she seemed to understand and was more reasonable then (never rude just appeared a little annoyed). Can't believe I have to wait 10 days. It doesn't even take that long to ship why would it take that long to track? (sigh)

So UPS called me 4 days ago and confirmed that I hadn't received it. The next day the UPS guy had me sign a sheet saying I never received it. And the wait continues.

 

[MrsGungho]

well heck at least they acknowledge you didn't receive it...

 

[churchmouse]

Luck to you on this one. I never sign for ammo but we have a safe enough area for the UPS guy to stash the package.

If the shipper gives you a hard time, you can take what you have so far, file a police report, THEN complain to your credit card company to reverse the charges.

I would call the shipper and ask them to replace what's missing while you wait. If they want their other package returned once found, ask them if you may pay for it to keep it, or send you a return shiping label and you'll promptly return it (once found)

Just a few suggestions I had.

 

[sartwell]

I have ordered lots of ammo on line from retailers, and have never has to sign for it. They just leave it at the door and ring the bell.

 

[japartridge]

Ammo is one of those of things that "require a signature in person" if the driver just dropped it off on your doorstep they could be in a lot of trouble as well.

I've had ammo delivered to my home twice with no one home... if it "requires signature" then UPS needs to pull it's head out of its posterior.

 

[Cemetery-man]

Came home today to find a delivery of ammo between my 2 front doors. Must have been because it was raining and no one there to receive it. Usually he just leaves it on the steps when we're not home. Leaving it on the steps in plain view always concerned me since tons of school children walk within a couple of feet from my steps.

Mine hasn't.
