I just got home and there was a InfoNotice ticket on my mailbox from UPS dating from Wednesday before Thanksgiving. The note said it was left at a neighbor's unit within the complex. I wasn't expecting any package and the neighbor didn't leave me a note so I was a bit puzzled. I knocked on the door of this neighbor I don't even know and she didn't even recall getting a package for me.
Upon further quetioning she says she did receive a package that was made out to my unit number, but it wasn't for me. It was made out to my unit #, but to the previous resident who lived here who she must have known. She took the matters into her own hands and contacted the sender and I was not even notified. Not regarding who the package was addressed to, UPS gave her the package strictly to hand it to the appropriate resident of said physical address and in my opinion she had no right to make that kind of intervention.
The sender told the neighbor who intervened this package to just open it and keep it. If I was the one to get it, I would have been the one to get the free treat. Oh well so what I missed some free treats. The problem is the principle of it. What was there to prevent a receiving neighbor from taking my package and my notice in my absense and pretend nothing has happened?
I didn't feel like escalating an issue with a neighbor so I just smiled and told her I see and I wasn't expecting a package, but had to check it. However, I really don't feel comfortable with her desire to take matters into her own hands when she shouldn't have, so I'm going to call UPS and request that they do not do this anymore.
Anyone see a problem with the principle of this?
Edited into paragraphs due to a request. Too bad I can't comply with grammar rules which calls for indentation at the beginning of each paragraph. Fuse talk automatically truncates indentations.
