I frequently order from Amazon and have never had a problem. They tell you the date of delivery so you're not guessing. The delivery date came and went, no package. Checked the tracking number, said it was delivered on the date promised. Grrrr. Four days later still no package. By chance I ran into the mailman and he asked if I was expecting a package. He said it was delivered to my neighbor who now has it sitting on their step and they want him to deliver it. What happened was my address starts with 283. The UPS delivery guy not paying attention delivered it to 238. The mailman says if it's UPS he can't touch it. I walked down the block and retrieved my package. Shame on you UPS!!

It would be interesting to know what kind of error was made - wrong address, misread house number, wrong street, etc.

The one misdelivery I have had in several hundred deliveries was due to an error by the sender. I caught it within an hour using tracking; the 800 number put me in touch with the hub, which sent a truck immediately to retrieve it and bring to me.

I'm sorry your pkg was misdelivered. I've had very good experiences with UPS.
