Porch Pirates
Porch Pirates.
I think I got hit yesterday. I live in a boarding house and the post person just drops the boxes on the porch without notifying the managers. I was looking forward to getting this rocket. BTW, I just got a package/letter today. It was mailed out on December 17, 2020. from Indiana. Really? 22 days to send a 6 by 6 padded envelope! Ridiculous!

If the parcel has a tracking #, see it it says delivered.
If it does and you didn't get it then notify the PO and the vendor. If the vendor sent it insured, or if you paid to have it insured, then either you or the vendor will get reimbursement for the value of the parcel. If the vendor gets the reimbursement he can send you a replacement kit. Check with the manager of your boarding house about the possibility of a locked drop box for parcels from the postman. Should be easy enough to make by the maintenance guy. On the 22 day delivery for the other parcel click on product information in the tracking notice. What is the service rate? Media mail is cheapest but also the slowest. Used for bulk mailings of magazines, newspapers, cds, books, etc. 2 to 3 weeks delivery is not uncommon. Same with Parcel Select. Especially on the tail end of the Xmas crunch.

What BARGeezer said.
Mail theft has become a big problem around here - several years ago the neighbors got together and we invested in a locking mailbox - IIRC it was about $50 each plus some donated labor to install it. I sent my nephew in Denver his Christmas present via Priority Mail. Tracking said it arrived in Denver Dec. 21, but it didn't get delivered until after Christmas I got a Christmas card from my sister in Colorado yesterday - postmarked Dec. 12 |

Of course not applicable to everyone, and applying to Amazon deliveries only - but my Amazon deliveries now go into my garage with the Amazon/MyQ gadget. The delivery guy has a one-time code to open the garage door. I get notifications of the garage door activity, and I can now see it's status and control it with my phone. ... and they paid me $5 to set it up.
Yes, there are security implications, yadda yadda, but if someone wanted in, they'd more likely break a window anyway, or walk-in thru the door that is often unlocked. But they're not casually taking Amazon packages off my porch.
