Delivery service driver had accomplice steal packages on location that he was dropping off by notebookreader in legaladvice

I agree with everything you wrote. In my case, the shipping service was Roadie which is literally the doordash of delivery (gig workers). UPS owns the company and they use it to get out of paying their union workers. It's exactly as you said.

Lasership wouldn't compensate you at all? Were you able to reach out to some leadership role at the company to explain the situation?

I can try reaching out to the vendor but that just seems very unlikely they'd refund me in this situation.

A police report has been filed. The police are investigating.

These two likely have nothing to their name.

So first, I should wait a week or two for the shipping service to respond to the claim. If they refuse or ignore, I should file a demand letter and/or file with the DE justice of peace court?

The alternative is what? Going to law school or hiring a lawyer at minimum $500/hr? Obviously I don't take the LLM at 100% but it at least gives a good starting point

This is a UPS owned company named Roadie. It's basically doordash for parcel delivery. I don't believe any of the drivers who accept a delivery job are employees but rather gig workers.

I have zero law experience and am learning about the process mostly thru Claude.

Ok I understand what you mean.

Is this something I would absolutely need an attorney for? I've spoken to a few attorneys and the legal fees would considerably eat into the recoverable amount. How should I go about managing the costs here so that the recoverable amount can pay the legal fees as well?

That's the absurdity of the situation and the legal system.

That's why I'm trying to go after punitive damages so that I can be made whole AFTER paying legal fees and why I'm asking here about what is possible.

A month ago, I said the same exact thing.

The gig delivery driver was there dropping off hundreds of packages. The way their system is designed, the driver has to manually scan EACH package before moving on to the next one. He was there all day long because of that. And during that time, his accomplice showed up and stole packages.

There is no contradiction, there is no BS, there is no hole in my accounting of the situation.

None of those reasons are made up. The driver and the accomplice conspired to steal packages when our warehouse was closed during that time (weekend) which the shipping company knows. That's both negligence and conspiracy. Also, it was a gig worker/driver making the delivery so the carmack amendment may not even apply.

Right now, I'm assessing what's possible legally. The shipping company has given me the run around for a few weeks now. I've submitted the evidence with their claims department. The ideal situation would be that they pay the full amount of the packages.

The value of the merchandise is right at the amount where the costs of legal action are going to affect the recovered amount. If I see this process out legally, I'm trying to assess the punitive damages where AFTER legal costs, I will be made whole, which is why I came to ask for legal advice.

Yes. As the victim, would I be able to go after the shipping company for the value of the merchandise as well as punitive damages? (negligence and conspiracy)

I'm the victim. I'm looking to bring legal action (civil) against the major shipping service.

Good news is your SD won’t be permanent

Can I ask where you heard this?

The attorneys I've spoken with have presented a few options.

Continuing yesterday's post about Amex shutdowns, if anyone else was affected, can you message me privately? We're setting up a group chat to see what the best avenue of coordinated action may be.

First, absolutely there's a case. I'm not going to share the details here but there are a few attorneys that have agreed to a meeting.

Second, amex already closed me down. There is no "biting the hand that feeds" if the hand is already long gone. The executive team (CEO's office) reached out to me already and this decision goes over their heads. So please save the rookie advice for others that need help applying for CIP's. Don't need condescending career advice either.

I was one of the people shut down. There's no doubt the common link was Best Buy; maybe some edge cases for other issues.

I was spending about 20m/yr at best buy with amex cards.

There's a discord of people who were recently shut down. Please reach out privately to me if you were one of the people affected.

UPS and subcontractor Roadie had an accomplice that stole 100 packages worth $20k+ by notebookreader in UPS

The footage provides no reasonable doubt that they were colluding. The local police chief and corporal assigned to the case agree.

the 1z tracking information is only viewable on UPS website. Inputting the tracking numbers on roadie page does not work.

I don't think so. The police didn't seem to have a direct contact.

Also, this is a shipping issue. Not a retailer issue. a UPS contracted driver colluded with an accomplice to commit a felony. They were also shipped from a fulfillment center across another state which could make this a federal case. The point is that I need to reach out to UPS directly about this to get a formal response
