arg ups delivered something to my apt... confusion >> read>>

[zixxer]

I come home last week and there are two new salt shakers on the table. My g/f was like yeah ups delivered them or whatever. So I'm like wtf oh well and don't think anything else of it.

Today my apt management calls me and is like, we have and old tenant who is calling about some package that ups delivered that got sent to your apt, and she is saying you signed for it....

I told her to let me get in touch with my roommate and g/f and find out what the deal is.


Basically, the box and all packaging has been thrown away. Should I just like hand the manager two salt shakers or wtf?

What do I tell the apt manager... that she's wrong nothing was delivered?


fyi, I've been rejecting packages/letters CONSTANTLY from this old tenant. She needs to forward her mail or somethign

So if someone delivers a package to your house and you're not expecting it you're like "wtf oh well and don't think anything else of it."?

Amazing...just amazing.

Yeah, that's the honorable thing to do. :roll:

And your excuse is no reason to keep them.

My gf signed for them. I just called her, and she said that the ups guy was just like sign for this package.. it had no name no nothing. She signed and he gave her a box that didn't have a "TO:" name. It was only an address. inside there were two salt shakers (really nice ones btw, liek platinum rings or some junk around the tops and bottoms... apparently $40 a piece)

hmm opening someone Else's mail. i do believe that is fraud. Personally i would be worried about living with people who do such stuff.

nothing better then common thief's.

WTF


NOONE stole ANYTHING. If there had been a name, or something, we would have returned them.


There was no packing slip inside, hell, it could have been one of the many "freebies" I sign up for.

To save yourself embarassment tell him your g.f. opened it assuming it was something you ordered. You do need to return them to their rightful owner. If the situation was reversed you wouldn't want someone keeping your stuff regardless of how many times things are erroneously being sent to your address.

I'm sorry what is the question here? Should you steal the salt shakers? No. Should you repackage them? Probably not. I'd just give her the shakers and a note of "apology".

 

[amdforever2]

not the ops fault there was no name on the package


take the salt shakers to manager

let her deal with it

BS. You received a package you didn't order, and when the rightful owner asks for it, you want to keep it "because". That's stealing jackass.

I am not wanting to STEAL anything. I'm trying to figure out a good way to give them back without pissing off this former tenant. I don't want some crazy old woman at my doorstep.

Stuff can happen. I'm in a similar situation:

Day before yesterday I was going through my mail, checking the apparant junk mail to make sure it was actually junk mail, when I came across something from the local Ford dealership bearing my last name but a woman's first name. (Liz) I still decided to check it, hoping it might be some offer for a free detailing of my current Ford vehicle after a test drive or something, and opened it up. It turns out it was a Thank You letter from the dealership, apparantly in regards to a recent vehicle purchase. My Asploder is pretty old -- a '94 -- so I knew that couldn't be it. So I checked the address again. In my haste I had misread the apartment number. My apartment number is 36; this was addressed to 26.

So now I have to go down to apartment 26 and explain to this person -- who apparantly shares my last name -- why I have her opened mail. I'm hoping she'll be understanding and blame the Mailman, not me.

He is a thief because his gf ignorantly signed for a package from UPS with no name on it?
Soon you will be up for promotion to moral warrior general! Revel in your perfect human life.

They would be thiefs if they kept the s&p shakers.

In the situation you're in where this person keeps getting mail sent to the old address, I would not go any further out of my way than notifying the apartment manager that we mistakingly have the s&p shakers and the manager or the previous tenant is free to come and pick them up.

If I was constantly getting packages sent to my address for the previous tenant eventually it would grate on me.

In that case, just tell her the truth. There was no name on the package, so you opened it to see what it was, and the packaging got thrown away before you realized you didn't order them.

Look you illiterate trolling motherfvcker. Go read the thread. Neither I nor my g/f is trying to steal anything. They showed up with NO name in the to: section. WTF am I supposed to do? She opened them and stuck them on the table thinking I or my roommate ordered them. We didn't think anything of it. If you could read past a 2nd grade level you would have already realized this.

Well, I don't like people who barely read the thread before flaming someone, and people who jump to conclusions.

You are doing both with near perfect execution.
