A package addressed to someone else doesn’t become your property just because it arrives on your front porch. Of course it’s theft.

Give me a break. Amazon CS did not tell you that.

OP contact the seller, hopefully it was insured and can be re-shipped with no loss to the seller.

Most police departments have an online reporting system for incidents like this. File there if you are inclined, but don’t call.

I swear she did! Not the one on their chat but the one on the phone. I told her I went over to the neighbor and they denied it and she told me to never do this. She did say it happened when the visitor became agitated but that it’s best to not even try.

I believe you, PP. The sellers like Amazon don't want to end up in the news as part of a headline like, "Woman shoots neighbor for trying to retrieve misdelivered Amazon package." I'm being serious. I'd bet that many companies advise buyers not to try to track down packages if there is even an iota of resistance by neighbors. Too dangerous, these days, and the seller's name would end up attached to any trouble, even though it's nothing to do with the seller.

Delivery to the wrong address = seller pays. If they will not refund you or send you a new item then do a credit card chargeback. They can work it out with the parcel carrier.

There’s no point in dealing with your neighbor. The police aren’t going to do anything. Suing in small claims court would take weeks/months.

Yeah, I don’t think it’s “theft” if a package is delivered to your own house, people.

I wouldn’t engage with neighbor further. She will just get more defensive. Very possibly she will suddenly “find” it or say it was “delivered just now” and bring it over, to save face.

I would not call the police either.

Just report to the seller and let them handle it. You have clear proof it was not received or signed for as it should’ve been.

DP. The bold also reminds me -- OP, you said that you think someone signed for it and it was not you, so that makes me suspect that the delivery driver signed so he could just dump it on a doorstep and keep moving. I'd focus on THAT: You never signed, and if the seller tries to make out that you signed so you get no help from them, I'd get stroppy with them about using delivery services that forge customers' signatures. I'd really just double down with the seller and not fart around with neighbors or cops. The seller needs to keep you sweet. But next time, is there any form of delivery that won't end up with possibly the same issue?....

You may have proof it was dropped off at their home but you don't have proof that anyone from inside that home opened the door and grabbed the package. Go directly to the seller, show proof it was dropped off at the wrong address and get a refund. They have insurance for this sort of thing.

Well, OP came back and posted this:

I have it on the camera her bringing it in approximately 2 hours after it was delivered.

But I, like you, PP, still think the OP should just deal with the seller and say the package was not delivered. I would not even mention to the seller about the doorbell camera video etc. etc. That would just muddy the waters and possibly make the seller go off on a tangent of trying to track that package, when all OP wants to deal with is getting the goods, period. Those people insisting here that OP should make this a matter of pursuing the thief blah blah are not realizing that the cops just won't care much about a misdelivered package; they might go talk to the neighbor but won't want to make this a big deal. Sorry but it's reality.

Ugh. What is wrong with her?! Even if she hadn’t opened it, a normal neighbor would check the info on the box for you etc.

Use a drone to break into her house and look around when she’s not home.

Is it possible that she has not yet opened the package? I would return over there again, and explain that she's on camera with your package.

As for the neighbor— it’s weird for sure, but I’d highly recommend against re-engaging because an amicable solution is unlikely given their first response and it helps no one to have beef between neighbors.

Don't engage with the neighbor.

This is between you and the shipper. It wasn't delivered to your home.
It's not your job to figure out where it was shipped to or intervene with that. Let the shipper know and have them fix this.

Does anyone else live in neighbor's house that could have brought it in? Could it have been stolen from neighbor's door? Based on what you described, I highly doubt your neighbor stole your package. If you have ring video of the package being delivered to your neighbor, do you have video showing her taking it in or what happened after? (And why does your ring camera cover your neighbor's door too?)

I’d fly a drone over there to slash her tires.
