Greg,

Have you considered that the kid that asked you what was in the box could be the one that stole it. I mean, he takes it from you and says no problem sir. Then when you ealk out the door and turn the corner.... YOINKS!!!!! I just got me a new Rolex GRATIS!!!!

Try and see if the counter guy, conveniently, quit no too long after you visited the store.

That could be the case. And if it wasn't him, he could just as well have told another employee that "man, this guy came in.. it's obviously a $5k watch in this box". I would try to get in contact with him and ask if he told anyone else that there was a watch in there.

By his tracking info his box made it to Memphis, so It's kinda doubtful that it was taken at the Kinko's store. That would take some real work by the kid that accepted it and someone in Memphis to take the box out of the system.

What a valuable thread.

Thank you for sharing your difficulties with us.

In the future, I will avoid FedEx like the plague.

If I understand everything correctly, the United States Postal Service seems like the only reliable means of transporting important objects.

No more FedEx, ever, for me.

Thought about it. He ain't that smart. Plus, it was handled at CVG (local airport), just before boarding for Memphis.

COming from a city like Miami, I believe anything is possible. What if he took the watch out of the box and put you label on another box? If there are two labels, the item cannot be delivered. Maybe they figured your label came second so they ripped it off and in the trash it went.

Then there is no package with your name to be located. It just doesn't make sense that at another city, they would know that it carried a watch. The manifest is kept separate from the package.


Or worst, they found an empty box. They opened it knowing the sensitivity of the issue, and found it was stolen, so they tell you that they can't find it. I mean if there is no box, there is no crime. You can't prove that the watch was ever in the box to begin with. I know it sounds harsh and I don't mean to be so curt, but it is a possibility and a reality of proof. The supervisor might think that you are pulling a fast one on FedEx.

Maybe I'm paranoid. But, coming growing up in Miami, I know of so many scams that I don't trust anyone.

Good Luck

After reading this thread...

the kid at Kinko's took the box with the watch. His questioning of the contents/insurance gives it away. Fedex is too busy a machine.
