Amazon frequently loses parcels? Someone is eyeing your parcel

When a package has to be sent over mountains and across the Pacific Ocean to a distant part of the earth, we sellers will inevitably worry about the safety of the package.

We have previously reported that USPS put a large number of "undeliverable" packages up for public auction online, and a considerable portion of the products lost by sellers are here (click here for details).

Even if the package safely reaches the local delivery stage, they will face the next test - the courier.

Because the express delivery industry in the United States is completely different from the situation in China, if an American courier can properly put your package on the ground (not necessarily even at the door), he can already be rated as a service model in the industry.

So in this link, more of the situation is...

The general service and efficiency of the express delivery industry in the United States are very poor, and both sellers and buyers have suffered a lot because of this environment.

However, there is a group of people who can benefit from the sloppy delivery methods of American express companies. They have a special name - porch pirates.

No plan is required, the action is easy, and there is no need to bear the felony of burglary. For these hallway pirates, taking express packages from other people's doors is as easy as a daily routine, and even a passerby who has the urge to do so can do it easily.

It's easy to do, the police basically don't care, and the profits can be high (depending on what's inside the package), which makes doorstep thefts very, very common in the United States.

According to previous media data, one in three Americans has had their packages stolen.

The numerous gifs above also show that even if a camera is installed at the door and the video evidence is handed over to the police, it will be of no use to these pirates.

There are too many factors that affect these thefts, and unless they are committed by a large group, it is almost impossible to recover the stolen packages. Most American netizens can only condemn such thefts.

But a small number of Americans who are bored to death (or hate these thieves to their core) are thinking of ways to prevent the hallway pirates from succeeding.

For example, a trap made with blank bullets that would make a loud noise when triggered

You know what, the effect was really good. The pirates who attacked the package at the door were scared and turned around and ran away.

There are also those who use fart spray and hard-to-clean-up colored powders to give the pirates a big surprise.

What was the reaction of the lobby pirates who received this surprise box?

Even the American media has made a program to conduct a "fishing enforcement" against these lobby pirates, placing some express parcels in a truck with the door open to lure the pirates into taking the bait.

Once some unlucky guy can't help but take action, the staff will immediately close the door of the truck from the outside, then pull open the cloth covering the outside of the truck and parade the lobby pirate through the streets for public display.

Although the above examples of the brave battles between American netizens and the package thieves made me laugh today, if we sellers lose something, we can usually only appease the customers while defining the responsibility with the logistics company.

The worse case scenario is that the logistics company does not compensate or compensates very little, but the customer still insists on complaining. In this case, many sellers will choose to send another item to the customer to avoid a complaint.

This kind of thing is not uncommon when doing business on Amazon, so sellers must leave enough profit margin to cover these uncertain costs, otherwise they will find that they are getting poorer and poorer.
