These are apartments above stores. No doorman. I checked the stores on either side and knocked on apt. doors as well. Nothing! I am back in Canada now and have called the supervisor at the station where the package supposedly was delivered from. He is not in now and I will try him again tomorrow. I also have the supervisor from another station in the same neighborhood calling around to try and track it down (I will speak to him at 4:30pm today). If the postman left the package outside the door then the post office will be responsible. According to the supervisors, if the package is too big for the mailbox, and nobody is there (somebody was there in this case), then the postman is required to leave a card with the info for re-delivery or pick-up. No card!
I have had many packages delivered to this address (at least 15-20 different cigar packages) by either USPS or UPS. I have encountered every version of difficulties possible as well. Cards were left claiming nobody there, even if someone was there. I have had packages re-delivered sometimes 3-4 times. I have had packages lost in the back of a postal station...and I even had the wong address one time and it went back to the cigar company, however, I always got my package in the end.
This scenario is a new one for me. Usually when the tracking info shows the package has been delivered I have been able to relax and know that my friend is unwrapping it and placing it in my coolidor. This scenario is even worse because I was there when the mystery package was supposedly delivered and so were two other people. The two other people have been receiving cigar packages for me for 2 years now quite efficiently.
If I am able to track this down should I have it "Return to Sender"?
