So last week I ordered some new earplugs for concerts, bandpractice and such, and they have failed to arrive. I’m a pretty patient dude so I wait for a couple of days thinking it’s just taking a bit longer.
Browsing through my mail I find out that they have apparently been delivered days ago.
Now the earplugs I ordered were clear, but I highly doubt they are invisible. No card was left in the mailbox, no “hey we delivered it at your neighbor’s place even though you were home…” Checking the track and trace says it was delivered yet they are not.
I try not to assume malice, but I’m pretty peeved about this, and it has got me wondering what your experiences are with goods that have mysteriously vanished upon delivery?

I had it happen last week. I got a “we see you’ve received your package, how do you like it?” email. Except I hadn’t. Tracking showed it dropped off 2 days earlier. My office door is open to a busy sidewalk and often unattended so I assumed the worst.
Finally found the culprit on camera. When the carrier left the package, they put it on top of a pile of other packages. As they were leaving, a gust of wind blew it straight into a nearby trash can. Where I happen to put all the empty packages, so it didn’t look out of place. And of course that was the day the trash gets taken out.
Kind of comical in hindsight. Just glad it wasn’t really anything important.
You found a real-life mimic in the form of a trash can!
