    Courier lost my Encyclopedia, SE are stonewalling me on support (UK)

    A week ago the UK courier (DPD) lied about me being home and decided to sign the package on my behalf, without leaving any record of where they decided to leave it.

    After many days and approaches of trying to get support from them, they are still unable to tell me where it ias, but have told me they are waiting for a response from the merchant (aka, whoever does this for SE in the UK) so they can investigate, and they have been for DAYS.

    And almost a week on SE still haven't replied to my personal ticket, or the update I sent them with the courier's reply. And now I don't know what to do, it feels like i've just thrown my money away on nothing and I have to accept it. I'm open to suggestions

    You could try to contact your Credit card company and see if they'll pull the charge? Explain the situation...
    Not sure what else you can try. I'm not in the UK, so I dont know their policies or rules about lost mail. Usually it falls on the store to eat the lost merchandise and recoup the loss from the courier.

    You could also contact your local law enforcement and ask about what steps you can take against the courier for illegally forging your signature...? I dunno...

    Sounds like a legit reason to do a charge back to me. I'd contact your card issuer and dispute it.

    If you like your account I would urge you to avoid the chargeback. While communications are a fragmented mess, billing runs straight through and they will not hesitate to lock down your account for it.

    Is there anyway you can contact the courier company? Also, this sounds like a job for the police.

    Thanks for your advice, but this:

    is why I was hesitating to avoid the chargeback. And I actually want my book >_<

    I did message them, they told me they are trying to get a response from the merchant but there's nothing. I don't know about contacting the police, this seems more like a civil matter than a criminal one :/ I'll try a fresh support ticket using the advice I found here https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/co...een-delivered/ I guess, if they still don't reply I guess i'll have to try the charge back, which makes me pretty nervous.

    I honestly dont understand why they need a response from SE to figure out how THEY messed up the delivery? One should expect them to be able to figure out who on their staff messed up and possibly how to fix this now... specially if you have a tracking ID and such.
    I'd keep harrassing DPD if I were you...

    Civil Lawsuits do exist for things like this, though at face value this really does sound criminal. They forged your signature which in itself is illegal, lied about it and didn't leave any record on where it is. Based on that, the delivery person could have very well just flat out stole it for themselves and kept it.

    Forgery is a crime. One can be fined or arrested for it. As such, it is most certainly something for the police.

    On the other hand, having documents from the police related to the forgery may greatly increase the couriers (company) interest in helping you, lest they be accused of being a side to a criminal offense. If the court will actually find the courier (person) guilty in a timely manner, you can be sure that it will instantly make the company do their very best to help you.

    Sure, the case seems like something small, but unlike in civil cases, you have nothing to lose but some time. You won't have to pay anything. You already do by paying taxes. And it will always help in a civil case related to it were you to pursue it in the future for whatever reason.

    Might just be me, but I don’t understand why it would be on SE to contact the mail carrier to initiate an investigation when the carrier were the ones who lost the package in the first place, and you’ve already alerted them that it was not recieved. Sounds like they’re just saying things to get you to leave them alone.
