Print stolen from tube after delivered, by chaserawr on Nov 3, 2011 18:50:09 GMT 1, So ups delivered a print last night while I was sleeping didn't ring doorbell or anything just dropped it off at the porch.
I woke up this morning to see the tube ripped open and my print gone.
Am I screwed? Anything I can do. It's a hand finished AP one of a kind so I'll be able to identify if it turns up somewhere.

Print stolen from tube after delivered, by Deleted on Nov 3, 2011 19:24:21 GMT 1, Not sure how the law stands in the USA but in the UK the 'deliverer' is the agent of the sender, not the recipient, so if it doesn't get delivered then recipient doesn't pay.....
Not sure if this helps? Surely UPS should've got a signature?

Print stolen from tube after delivered, by johnnyh on Nov 3, 2011 19:25:09 GMT 1, Go to UPS as they usually need a signature not a dump on doorstep. If this is the case you never took receipt of the package.
Eg not much better than they left it in your garden. You need to speak to the supplier eg who you bought the print from explain what happened as it is really them who need to claim against UPS as it wad them who contracted UPS to deliver to you.
There is an argument that if they delivered to your porch they completed the deal but this is very disputable 1. Because you did not sign so could have been away for days. 2. As your porch was open it was obviously insecure so should not have been left. Why did they not leave it in your house because your front door was locked -eg your house was secure your porch counts as outside your house not inside.
But key go to the supplier as they may require a signature from ups which is normal unless it was sent by a form similar to postal delivery eg unsecure through the letter box you then have to use the porch argument above

Print stolen from tube after delivered, by rottenredrooster on Nov 3, 2011 19:33:24 GMT 1, So frustrating. I've got a delivery guy who does the same thing... leaves them out in the pouring rain. Had to tell him, but keeps doing it. Never managed to catch him these days to remind him to stop doing it.
If the service that the print was sent via, included the terms that it had to be signed for then, the delivery guy should have got your signature or rescheduled delivery by leaving a card etc.
Either way, they shouldn't just leave mail outside your door. It's crazy.
Hope you get it sorted.

Print stolen from tube after delivered, by Deleted on Nov 3, 2011 20:04:17 GMT 1, Seems strange that if it was done after delivery someone had time to open the package, look at the print, decide if they like it, and then take it. Why not just grab the tube and go?
Unless, the delivery driver wants you to believe someone opened it on the step. That way he/she can say it was delivered.

I wondered that too - if you were gonna nick it, you'd nick the whole thing?

I wonder if it was the Tom Whalen piece that Sideshow Collectibles released here in the US this week -- if so, it may not have been stolen. In a major muck-up, Sideshow apparently didn't bother to tape the tubes shut before they sent them. This week, more and more angry Whalen fans have been complaining that they are receiving empty tubes with missing endcaps. I have a feeling that these prints weren't stolen, they're crumpled up into wads that are filling the recycling bins at some UPS distribution center somewhere. As for remedy, I've no idea how this situation will pan out, but I'm quite curious to see what happens next...

Print stolen from tube after delivered, by chaserawr on Nov 4, 2011 15:36:35 GMT 1, Small update: I have the print. It seems the tube was found on the side porch open and empty and the print still rolled in paper was found about 15 feet away in my bushes. SAFE.
The only thing I can think of what happened was it was pretty windy last night and the tube was opened when it was delivered (some damage to the tube near the cap) and the wind made the print come out of the tube.
I'm not too exactly sure but I got my print, it wasn't even damaged!

Going back to the postman, our postman AND the milkman used to do the same and come into the house - curious but all my kids kind of look like a combination of both of them. Even more curious is that we seem to have the same postman/milkman after moving from north to south London.

Print stolen from tube after delivered, by Brushstrokes 75 on Nov 4, 2011 20:54:54 GMT 1, Good for you chase!
I have 2 photos (allegedly) stolen by DHL at the moment. Not sure how you can loose a 100 x 100 x 20 cm parcel though. Someone might have thought it was a TV lol
The funniest part is that I didn't pay insurance not to pay VAT.....

2 parcels were strapped together and I receive the half with the address on it. Unfortunately (for me), it was the smallest and cheapest one of the 3....
In the end, I still lost less money than if I was to pay VAT every time.. So let's say that it's my accrued VAT pay back..

Iron it out?!? By putting weight on it you mean? Or simply spray a little water, crank the iron to the max and go at it. If you're going to be ironing shirts and pants might as well squeeze a print in there!
