Missing packages?

Our house is weird - we are 3 acres up from the road (we live on a big hill which is about 3 acres in land) but our mailbox is on the bottom down by the main road and our driveway is a long one going up a hill. So our mailbox is way down and far away from us.

You can kind of see here, this is our front yard... (mailbox is briefly in the left corner there- it's like a blur lol) and puppy Jackson-'nawww!

Due to my my work schedule and the fact I can not sleep at night, I often stay in bed till noon. Several times UPS has left packages on our porch or inside our screen door. I know for a fact they do not always knock on the door. I would have heard it and sometimes the dogs do not even hear them if they just leave it on the porch. I opened the door once and our new computer we ordered was there. We live on a dead end lane with dump trucks going up and down it all day to the dump at the end. It is a wonder I got it.

Ups and Fedex are allowed to leave your pkgs at your door unless you pay extra for a signature required. However, Fedex does not allow anything that resembles a computer, printer,ipods or pads left at your door without a signature.These guys are running about 25 stops an hour and have no time but to drop and go unless you pay extra.

I honestly just thought my step-dad had placed it somewhere and it would eventually show up... he is the one that gets the mail and sometimes leaves it in his car or something. He swears we never got a package and he always puts all packages for me on my desk... which he HAS been doing.

Then, I ordered a DVD on ebay as well, again tracking number confirms it was delivered April 19th. Yet it wasn't at my house... totally the case of the missing packages here. My stepdad is very adamant that he put all packages on my desk, and I believe him, he's been good about it and has done it with the other packages I've received in the last month (I have received other things I've ordered).

My mom remebered that while her and my stepdad went to dinner a few weeks back while driving away they noticed it looked like a package in the mailbox. So they went off to dinner and when they got back home got the mail and there was nothing in there. They thought maybe they were just seeing things and maybe there never had been a package there to begin with, until I mentioned to them how this is the second package that is just... missing.

I know it is not ebay because they had delivery confirm. numbers and I've ordered lots of ebay with no problems.

Do you think someone is stealing out of our mailbox? We live on a main road and our mailbox lid is broken so it's kind of just been 'open' for the past few months. This is just crazy! There's probably nothing I can do about it if it was confirmed delivered. Sucks, though, I'm out a total of $25ish.

That package was delivered.

Brit, take a look at Mothers Day 2011 at Fedex, we worked on Sunday. Everyone of them was delivered. 226735_1891062130740_1667115829_1863137_1650463_n.jpg
