They stole my 14,240 USD Rolex watch.
I dropped off a package that contained a Rolex watch worth $14,240 US dollars on the 23rd of June. It was supposed to be delivered to Hong Kong within 2 days. However, after a day, the system did not show any updates beyond the drop-off confirmation. Realizing this was not normal, I visited the UPS store and inquired about it. The staff assured me that such delays were common and advised me to wait until Monday to see if there were any changes. I also contacted UPS customer services multiple times, but received the same response.
On Monday the 26th, there were still no updates in the system. Concerned, I immediately initiated an investigation. Later that day, the investigation was closed with a note stating that UPS was unable to contact the recipient. I called UPS twice and was informed by both agents that UPS had located the package. I requested them to continue shipping it to the intended destination. However, there were no further updates in the system the following day. I reached out to UPS again, and this time the agent advised me to wait for one or two more days.
Finally, on the 28th, the system indicated that all merchandise was missing, and the empty carton had been discarded. UPS would notify the sender. This made no sense to me, as the package was securely packaged with three hard-layer boxes, making natural damage unlikely. I consulted a UPS employee who informed me that the system showed the damaged box had been found at a main UPS hub located at 8440 Ardwick Ardmore Rd, Landover, MD, 20785. Online reviews of this location indicated a pattern of theft involving expensive packages such as phones and jewelry.
I visited the hub in person. However, one of the supervisors expressed doubt about the expensive item being sent. To substantiate my claim, I showed her pictures of the box and the watch. She disputed that it resembled a genuine Rolex. I assured her that its value was approximately $15k USD, to which she asked if I meant $1.5k. I clarified that it was indeed $15k in US dollars. Due to our lack of understanding, I decided not to engage further with her and requested to speak with the drivers/loaders manager to report the issue.
An employee informed me that the manager would return in an hour and suggested leaving my phone number for a callback. Aware that I might not receive a call, I declined the offer and insisted on waiting in person. After a few minutes, the employee returned and informed me that the supervisor would not be available and that the only option was to leave my phone number and wait for a call. This situation left me extremely frustrated. and they never called me as my expected.
I gathered all evidence and I am waiting for the final decision from the UPS.
