Good work, RPD.
How does one know if a package has been filched or not…? All of the carriers just drop their packages on the steps. They don’t knock or ring the bell. They don’t leave a sticker.
um check the shipment status on the website of the company you ordered from?
FedEx will even call you on the phone if you want, to say it’s been delivered.
