The only real question is..."Am I screwed?" This is really frustrating. I've waited a long time to buy something like this for myself , and now I do, and bam. It goes sour. Very depressing here guys.

no way you're screwed if you bought with a CC. Just call the CC and say you never got the package, dispute it or whatever. They'll make you fill out a form and sign it and you're good to go. Are you sure it was stolen. UPS has never been early, in fact I think UPS / Fed ex keep your package at the hub until the estimated delivery time then they deliver it. Wait a day and see if it shows up

Actually, this makes alot of sense. Think about it, if you ordered from the Egg, sometimes things come from a different warehouse, and perhaps your monitor came from a different one. And since they'd require a signature, it would make sense he'd keep it and come back the next day with it doesn't it? Try the "wait and see" approach, and if it doesn't come at least after monday, then things are different.

You need to get the merchant to request the Adult Signature Required option for your shipments. That's about the only way to ensure a residential delivery will not be left on the porch. You may be able to specify this by email or contacting customer service. There is a fee for it.

If it's not specified by the shipper, UPS, FDX, and DHL have their own internal guidelines for when they will and won't require a signature and only they know how they decide.

By default, business deliveries require a signature, and they can only be delivered during business hours, so I have everything I order delivered to my office.

half the time they will forge the signature.


newegg probably will say its delivered so have fun calling your credit card company.

no it didn't require a signature! that's the stupid thing. And they just left it. Delivery was est. on the 9th. so of course it was a day early and wasn't expected.

This makes no sense. Del est for the 9th, you say it's early today, but it's the 11th. Did you leave it on your porch for 2 days hoping it would get stolen so you can blame UPS????

No. Delivery was estimated for the 9th. It actually delivered on the 8th. I waited until Wed. the 9th to see if it would come. And it did not. Wed morning I followed up with the tracking number and called UPS, and the automated line said that it had been "delivered" left on porch. That's when I called NewEgg.

Newegg has approved my claim, and waiting on UPS to respond. I just want what I've paid for is all. The whole point in this , is WHY, why in the world would someone just leave something like that on someone's porch. It sounds like I'm not the only one who has had stuff just left like that...someone else on here had thousands of dollars of gear left on his porch. He's lucky nothing came up missing himself. It just figures that the odds have finally caught up with this practice. And I have to be the one.

I drive around high income neighborhoods all the time snatching carrier packages that were left at people's front door.

It's easier to just discretely follow the UPS truck.

It's even easier to just take the truck.

Blockade the UPS warehouse FTW!

Why blockade it? Just "deliver" everything in the truck, then go back and load up again.

But serious, installing security cameras is the only way you can deter thieves. Make a sign too so the thieves know.

Signs are cheaper than actually installing cameras.

Just wanted to tell a quick story about this. At my old job, we had a problem with people dumping crap in the dumpster out back. I'm talking about them setting stuff in front of the dumpster like old treadmills and stuff, things we had to take care of all the time because obviously the trash guy wasn't going to get out and put it in the dumpster so he would have room to put the forks in and lift it up.

So I came up with the idea of putting a sign on the dumpster that said security video was in place to catch would-be trash dumpers (we were a sign shop, so making an official looking sign was easy). The owners made me take it down because they were friends with a couple who owned a Shell station here locally. They put up the same sign, but apparently someone was back there and got robbed, and that couple got sued because they said they had security cameras that could've recorded what happened when they actually didn't.

I'm not saying the same would be valid for someone getting robbed or something while trying to steal something off your porch, and I'm not trying to start an argument about the validity of the lawsuit in the first place. I just thought it was interesting story, and the quote by MotionMan reminded me of it, so I figured I'd share.
