    There's always a lot more theft around this time, including mail theft.

    WTF!!! Some people's kids!

    I would call the local post office or the entity that delivered it and ask if your particular mail delivery guy/gal reported it to their supervisor - it's beyond me that someone would deliver an empty box but stranger things have happened.

    Good luck OP. I didn't order mugs or I'd share!
    Oh please let it rain today.

    Had someone once, must have been the post office staff, tear open a package of mine and take the contents (chocolates sent from my Mom in England) out and replace with a book. Bizarre.
    These things happen. Definitely not something 10C is responsible for. Would be funny if someone in your apartment complex was walking down the hall drinking a cup of coffee out of one of those mugs.

    Pj should not reimburse. I wouldn't even ask.

    If they reimburse you for the mugs, then they should reimburse me, and everyone else, for all the things that go "missing". Know what I mean....

    I was just watching the news here, and there was a story of criminals that were opening packages, stealing the items, taping the boxes back shut, and leaving them back on the doorsteps!! Thieves are the fucking WORST!! So sorry you're going through this..

    No, I wouldn't ask 10C to replace items stolen from your building. That's not their responsibility. But If the postal carrier left a package out where anyone could get at it, then the post office should do something. They should not be leaving packages out where anyone can take them - that's ridiculous. I've had them leave albums outside my apartment leaning against the door in the hallway. That pisses me off. What suggests to them that everyone who lives in my building is honest and trustworthy??? Just leave a pick-up notice and bring it to the post office where it will be safe!

    Why would they bother doing that?? Why not save some time and effort and take the whole package? They must be the dumbest thieves of all time.

    They did that with my mom's laptop a couple days ago. I came back from grocery shopping and there was a stack of packages leaning on my door. I was only gone an hour. It was four boxes, two were medical supplies, one was an electric heater and the laptop was on top.
    Actually now that I think of it they did that with my very expensive "Ultrabook" laptop last year. And that was in a packaging that made it obvious what it was!

    I had that happen once too that items were in my package that my Mom did not send. I always imagine there was something like a big truck accident and everything got wet and mangled together. Then they just try to puzzle everything together as they think is right. And sometimes they miss.

    I never liked it that the mail people leave packages just leaning on your door over here. I would prefer a personal pickup or redelivery too. Fucking thieves. I would be furious. I don't think the OP has a chance for any replacement with tenclub, but I would recommend setting up a different mailing destination like the suggested PO box or something. Just imagine you get something like a Benny in the mail and some fucktard just sees the package lying there and takes it :anguished: Sorry this happened to you. Some people just don't have zero respect or manners :neutral_face:
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue!

    I had some stickers from a trade come up missing. Dude sent them in a Christmas card. I'm sure that's why it ended up missing. Someone must have thought there was cash in that card…

    Well now there are 3 very cool PJ stickers on the floor somewhere…

    Take up pottery and make your own mugs. I'm trying to make up trades for my lost stickers.

    Sorry for the theft.

    Sorry to hear this happened. Do you work at a place that will allow you to have packages mailed to you there? I've had to do that with a few friends after Christmas packages I sent them were stolen from their front door.

    Gotta disagree with you there. How is it the post office's fault if the apartment/condo building he lives in has no secure way for their residents to get their packages? What are they supposed to do?

    There's 2 simple solutions here. Management signs for the packages and residents pick the packages up from them at their convenience. Or like the complex I live in does, they designate an area for packages and warn everybody that the area is under video surveillance and if anyone steals or opens a package that isn't there's, the video will be handed over to the police for prosecution. I order a lot of packages, both from pearl jam and places like Amazon, and nothing has ever been taken or opened. Everyone knows they are on video in that room. Plus a resident specific keychain unit is needed to buzz yourself in to the room, so they have double proof who went in there.

    What do you mean? What they are supposed to do is put a pick-up slip in his mailbox and take the package to the post office so he can go get it later. That is regular procedure. Leaving the package out for someone to steal is specifically against proper procedure, so the post office is absolutely at fault here. That is something I would report to the post office even if the item happened to still be safe, because that is the mail carrier breaking the rules of his job.

    FYI, what you have set up in your building isn't normal at all.

    Yeah I think you're blaming the wrong source here, but there's no need to bicker in a thread about something else. I hope the OP finds a way of getting someone to replace these mugs for him.

    Actually sarava isn't wrong with procedures these days in MOST apt complexes. I used to work on apt buildings and I'm gonna say 7 out of 10 usually have a security system in place for mail and packages. Some of the new high tech apt even have a tv monitor set up as you walk in letting you know if you have a package in the office to pick up. Kind of like a departure/arrival screen at airports.

    Personally, if I received an empty box, I would expect the retailer to resend.

    I don't think the box was sealed when they found it.
