Flaming/Flame Wars: Flaming is reacting to posts or PM's in a hostile manner by publicly chastising the person or bombarding the person with nasty posts or PM's. Flaming may occur to users that engage in behavior that violates what is considered proper board netiquette. A flame war occurs when two or more users hit each other in an escalating manner that threatens to continue unabated. If you notice a flame war developing just notify the moderator or adminitrator and let them handle it. Do not take part in flame wars. If you do you will be banned even if you did not start it :-)
I recently ordered from an OP, operating in the US, and was expecting an overnight package today from UPS. Everything looked normal until I noticed the package never moved out of the airport's arrival status. It just went to "Delivered" and signed by someone who doesn't work at the mailbox store I was having shipped to. In fact... there's no "Out for Delivery" at all listed. It just stops at the airport location as "Arrived". All the address info was correct and the automated telephone system even gives me back the correct information. The customer service says it was delivered, the internet says it was delivered.. but I am wondering if the driver took or if it was intercepted?
The problem is that I never picked it up and there's nobody, at the store, with the name who signed. When I logged into the site, I noticed someone add a package id (and name.. not mine) under a referral field. This wasn't there before. Now it's gone.

Were the contents worth stealing? Have you called UPS, and talked to a human? Have you tracked using iship (which sometimes has more detailed information that the shipper's site.)

Shipment was for approximately 100 anxiety meds. I called UPS and they said the package had been delivered and verified the address back with me. I told them that there is nobody there by that name. I've been at this location for years and know the folks running it. They said all they could do is open a tracer via the shipper. I'm not going to do that.. kinda like calling the police over some stolen drugs or something. I'll take the hit :-( I don't have the tracking number anymore. Anything even remotely related to this purchase has been wiped.

ups is not good so bad when they call on door and ask for payment it was shocking when i order laguna beach jeans and paid $1000 and ups ask me to pay 400 euro more i hate them anyway
I would take the hit too. I had a package get lost in Illinois once with Fedex never to be heard of again. You can still track it after all these months but it stops in Illinois.
