My favorite is to track down and confront the delivery driver. Pretty sure that would go well. Sometimes I seriously wonder if a few posters just post the silliest thing they can think of.

How dumb of everyone to give advice!! We completely forgot to just let YOU respond since obviously your advice is all that matters. Please, forgive us all.

There is a huge difference between good advice and stuff like you just posted.

My last post didn't contain advice. Only looking for forgiveness to all that gave advice that's not worthy of your opinion.

Have you ever even made a post that contributed to anything?

I do feel sorry for the OP and if he caught the driver before they left great because that is a completely different thing. Yes I honestly think tracking down the driver is crazy and can not end well. Even worse was sending a package to yourself so you can confront the driver. I don't know the answer but know that is not it.

I did this exact thing. Sent a package to myself (NDA), I asked driver and he showed me where he delivered it, right next door, I went in and the lady had it setting on her desk. Thank you very much

I would think since Russ reported the issue to FedEx, they would have contacted the driver already to see if the box was misdelivered, and checked on any GPS readings?

You seem to want to let the driver off the hook. If the package was misdelivered, would it not have been the driver who did the misdelivering? And would he not have been at least present when a signature was obtained? The driver needs to do some explaining.

And since FedEx appears to be stonewalling, how else do you propose learning who delivered the package where?

Never assume malevolence when simple stupidity/negligence will serve as an explanation. But very quick steps must be taken when a $40,000 package disappears.

Don't want to let anyone off. You just never know what kind of psycho you are about to confront. As example I personally had this happen to me this summer with a USPS delivery person. I seen I had a package out for delivery. I noticed it was a substitute delivery person because your normal delivery person gets one day a week off besides Sunday. Anyway I noticed she just walked by my house without dropping off the package. So I went outside and asked if she had my package. She just looked at me and asked if my dog was in the house. I said yes and she just looked at me and said because I had a dog she would not deliver to my house. I again asked if I could just get my package. This psycho just grabbed her phone and called 911 saying I was attacking and harassing her. I never left my doorway and was never closer than 30 foot from her. The only thing that saved me from going to jail was she does this at least once a month and I live in a small town so all the cops know what is really going on. Things don't always go like you think they will.

I actually had a situation where I had a Derek Jeter minor league autographed bat being delivered via FEDEX from the New York Yankees. I always make sure I'm home the day I have deliveries coming, and I meet the delivery driver at the door. FEDEX truck pulls up, driver leans the box on my door, then quickly runs back to his truck. I opened the door, saw that one end of the box was open, and yelled to the driver to come back. I showed him the opened box (No doubt in my mind that he knew it was open), had him call FEDEX to tell them the box was empty, and that I was on my way to FEDEX.

I get to FEDEX, and the manager had me wait in his office, while he went to check. 45 minutes later, the manager comes in with the bat. Said they found the bat in one of the bins, so it must have fell out of the box, which I knew was a bunch of bull crap.

No doubt a FEDEX employee saw on the box that it came from the New York Yankees, knew it was a bat box, and attempted to steal it.

I was lucky that this worked out for me.
