Package delivery nightmares — share your horror stories

Package Delivery Horror Stories
Posted
and last updated

CLEVELAND — With the click of a mouse, you can order just about anything while still wearing your pajamas. Pick your product, confirm your order, and your package will arrive in two days or sometimes less.

It’s usually simple, but from time to time, we're plagued with a delivery disaster like packages being thrown on your porch or missing it all together. Handle with care or maybe not.

Then, there's the random mail you get. Neighbors in Tremont recently got to know each other a lot better as they re-delivered stray packages and letters intended for their neighbors. "We've become our own mail service," said one of the people in the middle of the mail misdirection.

There's also the all-to-familiar sightings of infamous porch pirates. These guys stake their claim to all the loot in your packages that are left out on your porch.

Some people have fought back against the thefts with surprise glitter “bombs” or a stink spray goes off.

So, what is your delivery horror story?

We want to hear from you. Join the conversation on the News 5 Cleveland Facebook page and we'll share some of the stories in a later newscast.
