    I ordered an iPhone from Apple using their new-ish courier service. It’s just a Spark Driver (Walmart). The driver stole it. Apple said “call the police” which, lol, went nowhere.

        That’s the road I went down. Sadly, $150 of that was a gift card that is not salvageable. Fucking drivers.

      This is why I’m so glad I have the ability to go to my cell phone provider store and buy directly there( for cell phones), and best buy for most other electronics. If I have to order I have it sent to the store. Stolen in shipping? Not my problem. Again I’m glad I have that ability.
