Man notified that his $600 Seiko watch was delivered, but he didn’t receive it. FedEx said ‘Mike M’ signed for it, and now he suspects his neighbor
There have been several instances over the past few years where people using delivery services either didn’t receive their packages, received them damaged, or had them delivered to the wrong address. While you might hear stories about the same thing happening to people you know or even yourself, here’s another example of a delivery service failing to do its job by delivering an expensive package to the wrong location.
Just two days ago, TikTok user @thatguy1923 posted a video in which he discussed how he thinks his $600 Seiko watch was delivered to one of his neighbors’ houses by FedEx. What’s more, after the mistake, FedEx refused to take responsibility and was pushing @thatguy1923 to handle the situation himself. Additionally, the person or people who received the delivery refused to admit they had his watch, leading @thatguy1923 to go through an ordeal to recover his package. However, despite putting so much effort into it, he failed to retrieve his watch.
TikTok user @thatguy1923’s expensive Seiko watch gets delivered somewhere else
As mentioned earlier, two days ago, @thatguy1923 uploaded a video explaining how FedEx delivery personnel delivered an expensive $600 Seiko watch to one of his neighbors.
@thatguy1923 states that on the day he received a notification saying his order was on the way, he was sure to be home to receive it. Suddenly, he received another notification saying the order had been delivered and signed for by someone named Mike M. When he inquired with FedEx about the delivery, they confirmed the package had been delivered and signed for, and asked @thatguy1923 if he had a roommate named Mike. When he denied, the FedEx representative asked if he thought the package might have been delivered to any neighbors. They also advised him to check with all his neighbors to help resolve the issue quickly.
Later, @thatguy1923 knocked on several doors, but nobody had the package. He then noticed a house with a large “M” on the door, which made him think the occupant might have his package. In the video, @thatguy1923 mentions he has visited this person’s house three times. On the morning he recorded the video, he saw all their cars in the driveway, heard his wife inside, the baby crying, and sounds of conversation and kitchen activity, leading him to believe they were home. After initially knocking without response, @thatguy1923 used the doorbell camera, which rang and triggered barking and shouting from the dogs, the baby, and the man inside. However, still no one answered.
As he waited to hear a response, he noticed the noises inside had stopped. When he began banging on the door, everything went quiet, reinforcing his suspicion that they had his watch. Since they refused to respond, @thatguy1923 mentioned in his video that he planned to camp out in his front yard with binoculars from a lawn chair, watching their house until he saw them leave, then approaching their door to ask if they had his watch.
People have a lot to say about @thatguy1923’s story
As of now, @thatguy1923’s video explaining how FedEx delivered his Seiko watch to the wrong house has gained significant attention, with over a million views and many comments. User @truetildeathshaves commented, “fed ex is trash.” User @johnettemansur said, “FedEx is the ABSOLUTE WORST.”
User @hollymichelleb said, “File a claim with the company you ordered the watch from, and they can dispute it with FedEx. I’ve had to do that and had better luck.” User @_anotherclonetrooper wrote, “Depending on who you ordered from, consider talking to the company about it not being delivered. This happened to me with Levi’s jeans before, and they sent me a 2nd delivery.”
