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?

Why any AH would ship a small item of that value by any means other than registered "lose my job and maybe go to jail if I mess with the package" mail is beyond me. I get that it takes longer and is a PITA to do, so maybe offer it as an option at a higher cost?

Confronting the driver: I actually did this once with a USPS registered package (T206 Young portrait). The delivery missed me so i went to the office where they hold registered mail and where it was supposed to be stored the next morning, which is what the delivery attempt slip told me to do. It wasn't there, and the manager of the PO was pissed as hell. I knew the driver on the route was not the usual guy, so I went truck chasing. I found him and asked him nicely (not being ironic here) to check for the package. It was there. He'd put it back on the truck like any other package and hadn't followed protocol for registered mail and logged it back in for the night as he was supposed to. He was a probie and he got fired for it, so you know they are dead serious about registered mail. I got my card.

Hi Peter,
Yes....I contacted Fedex immediately after I checked with the other tenants in the building. Fedex tells me NOTHING. The day of the delivery (January 13th) when I contacted Fedex to send the driver back to my office, they said they could not. They told me to go on line and click on "report missing package"

When I spoke to a "manager/supervisor" named Kewanna on January 14th she said that Fedex sent the driver back to retrieve the package with no luck.The driver NEVER came to my office.

I then received an email on January 15th thanking me for reaching out about my case and telling me "after exhausting all search options, we haven't been able to locate this shipment. Please contact your shipper"

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.

To add to that, I rarely see the same FedEx driver twice in my neighborhood, so I don't really see the point in delivering myself a package so I can "confront" them.
