Hi! So I placed an order through Amazon and spent a great deal of time trying to find a certain item that would ship to Canada. So I was waiting patiently Friday and nothing showed up. I looked at the order and it says delivered Friday and it was not my name that signed for it! I contacted Amazon and the seller and still waiting to hear back. I wish the person that signed for this item would look at my address and return it to where it belongs. This was a Christmas gift for my parents.

Sounds like you might have used Amazon.com and not .ca? If so it''s likely your package was just delivered to a local delivery company that will then go out and make the delivery in town. I know when I had to have something shipped up for the US before on UPS it goes to like Wray's delivery service and then they make the delivery.  
 
Although if it was Amazon.ca it should come right to your door. Anyways at least you got the signature and name of the other person although I'm thinking its just with a local delivery outfit. You'll probably get it tomorrow.

We called purolator for the same reason and they said they signed it into Brandon on Friday and that they signed the wrong box. The package would be delivered on Monday

This makes me feel a lot better and I hope this is the case!

Might be able to help....

This happened to me once before and amazon.ca sent a replacement immediately then did their own investigation with the delivery company (was a $700 item). Turns out it was delivered 1 street over (not signed for, just left outside) and the guy who lived there wasn't home. He brought it over 2 or 3 days later and we shipped the replacement back to amazon.

Just be aware that any amazon items will indeed just be left in your mailbox or at your door.modt times they don't even knock or ring your doorbell. But amazon is great about refunds and replacements quickly.

This happened to me once when I was renting a post office box. I was tracking my package through Canada Post. It showed "delivered" on the website, but after a few days of checking my mailbox every day, my package didn't turn up. I inquired at the counter, and after looking through the packages in the back to see if they missed notifying me, they concluded that they must have delivered it to the other person with my first name. Apparently they mixed up our mail a lot. The post office contacted the person and sure enough, they returned my package to the post office.  
 
I'm not sure why the first response is to ask the seller for a new shipment when the discrepancy is clearly with the delivery. The deliverer, whether it's Canada Post or UPS, should be able to retrace their steps and figure out where they delivered the package. Therefore, it should be possible to locate and retrieve it. If not, then go to the seller.

Psych, the delivery company amazon used when I had trouble was less than accommodating. They went so far as to say that I should go knock on the door of a few houses where they thought it may have been delivered. Not happening. Amazon had made the shipping arrangements so they have the contract with them, not me. If the shipping company fails to perform I want the seller to know so they can discontinue using them in the future or at least they'll have more power than me to ensure this stops happening in the future

It was Fedex. I have the name of the person who signed for it and just waiting to figure out what to do! I know it's not the sellers fault, but they put in a claim with the delivery company to figure things out. Hopefully I get some good news soon. Thank you for helping

Have you tried talking to FedEx?

My Amazon order was suppose to be delivered on Friday. Called Canada Post and they said there is a delay on their mail delivery, even though it says BRANDON MB out for delivery but never came. They said it will be here on Tuesday. Also Amazon doesn't typically make customers sign for their packages, it's usually left at the door. Are you sure it was signed?

Mommyoffour, I sent you a PM. I'm having the exact same problem with a delivery that was supposed to arrive Friday from Fedex Ground. The tracking shows it as delivered and signed for, but it was never delivered to my house (I was home all day Friday and today). My PM has a few more details so maybe we can figure out where our packages are.

Parcel was finally delivered tonight at 7pm. Hope you find yours!
