1316796 2012-12-06 20:04:00 Well, I just have to ask. It's likely someone took it but did the courier take it? I mean it's possible it was stolen along the way and the courier put it in there thinking that you'd assume someone nicked it after depositing it. It's a possibility.

What was inside? (curious) and could someone tell what it was by looking at the package? Or was it simply a crime of pass the parcel and hop I get lucky.

There was a guy in Masterton who was following courier vans and swiping things from boxes a while back, perhaps he has moved north and struck again :(

1316797 2012-12-06 22:11:00 The fact that the empty packet was left is actually worse than if they had taken the lot.
You could argue it was never delivered and likely won on that basis but they have proof (the package) that it was.

You do not have a leg to stand on here.

1316799 2012-12-06 22:44:00 I've also had stuff signed by couriers themselves, even though someone was home.

This is where parcel tracking comes in handy. Some courier companies show an image of the signature immediately after you sign the gadget that the courier carries. I had a parcel delivered by NZ Post couriers. On checking the parcel tracker on line the last entry was merely 'delivery complete'. No problem because I knew that I personally had the parcel delivered to me.

1316800 2012-12-06 23:02:00 Well the fact the packet is still there leads me to suspect the courier, a theif would take the lot, why wait at the scene and be caught? Why leave evidence? If you take the lot the person won't notice for a day or so and blame the courier.

My initial thoughts are the courier took it and left the packing to make it look stolen.

You could have a case against the company but with no evidence... it's not looking good. I'd follow up with the post office. Sounds a bit dodge to me.

1316801 2012-12-07 10:56:00 Had a NZ Couriers envelope delivered today, with "tick box if signature required" ticked, and it was just stuffed in the letter box amongst some junk mail. Tracking on the website says: Signed for by "[Not Supplied]". Was home at time of delivery. Renegade (16270)
1316802 2012-12-08 20:50:00 I think you have a point there The Error Guy, I live in quite a rough area and the courier guy may have been making it look like the package was stolen by someone forrest44 (754)
1316803 2012-12-08 20:51:00 It was a cell phone, in its box I think - wouldn't have been overly obvious what was inside I wouldn't have thought... forrest44 (754)
1316804 2012-12-08 22:04:00 The couriers in my neck of the wood are good, they drive up the driveway and if I know there is a package meant to be arriving I have my IP cam working so I go down and see them. nedkelly (9059)
1316805 2012-12-08 22:30:00 I always have things delivered to work, a courier gets in a lot more **** ignoring signature required for a company than they do for a residential address. DeSade (984)
