Online shopping has become increasingly popular in recent years, especially booming in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite us now returning to a “new normal” the ease and convenience of online shopping is still ensuring that e-commerce is king.
While it’s convenient to have your packages delivered straight to your doorstep, there’s always the risk that your package may be stolen or lost in transit. But what happens when you suspect that your delivery driver may have stolen your package? Here’s what you need to know.
How Often Do Delivery Drivers Steal Packages?
First off, it’s important to keep in mind that most delivery drivers are honest and hardworking individuals who take their job seriously. However, like in any profession, there’s always the odd bad apple who may take advantage of their position.
For example, last year an Amazon driver was caught red handed swiping deliveries right from the porch.
If you suspect that your delivery driver may have stolen your package, here are some steps you can take:
1. Check with the Delivery Company
If you suspect that your package has been stolen, the first step is to contact the delivery company and let them know what happened.
They may be able to track down your package or provide you with more information about its whereabouts.
Be sure to have your tracking number and any other relevant information ready when you call.
2. Check with your Neighbors
It’s possible that your package was accidentally delivered to a neighbor’s house, or left with them if the courier thought it was a safer option if you weren’t home.
Ask around and see if anyone received a package that belongs to you. You can also check with your building’s front desk or mailroom if you live in an apartment building.
3. Review Security Footage
If you have a security camera installed at your front door, check the footage to see if it captured the delivery driver in action.
If you do have footage of the delivery driver stealing your package, be sure to save it and provide it to the delivery company or the police if necessary.
4. File a Police Report
If you have evidence that your package was stolen, you may want to file a police report. This can help you recover the value of your stolen items and may also help the police identify and catch the thief.
5. Leave Feedback
If you believe that your package was stolen by the delivery driver, be sure to leave feedback on the delivery company’s website or app. This can help alert the company to the problem and may prevent future incidents from occurring.
How to Stop Package Theft
While it’s rare for delivery drivers to steal packages, it’s always a possibility. If you suspect that your package has been stolen, be sure to take action.
