How far off is the address from yours?
Just different road, or like wrong city/state? If you can't find the address, I wonder if its part of some kind of scam, and you ended up being the wrong recipient. Like the delivery guy who was intercepting drugs sent to other peoples addresses, but one accidentally got delivered to the mayors house.

Even to ask wether to keep or give them back shows that your moral compas needs some tuning. Even if it was Liberal political paraphenalia, I would do the right thing and make sure it gets to the owner with no expectation of getting a reward or even a thankyou.
Were these in a package that you had to open? I sure hope not. What I would do is if I cant find the person I would see who the sender was and try to contact them and let them know what happened. They probably have a phone number or email address. |

OP, you went through all of this effort to find the intended owner of the clubs. Why not just call UPS and tell them the situation? Problem solved. They will pick them back up and return to sender if they can't find the buyer since it was an invalid address.

Oh so your doing them a favor  how kind of you . Your rationalizing a way that allows you to keep somthing that does not belong to you. This type of attitue "well it is not my problem" and "It wasnt my mistake so skrew them" Is so disapointing to see. I have had packages arive at my house that were not mine and I got them to the rightful owner. That is what a decent human being would do. You never know what an act of selflessness might do. You never know who you might influence, this person could hate conservativs and this gesture and act could change their minds and make them rethink their outlook.

bust open the box and look for a packing slip. then, call the company where the order originated from. Ask them what to do next. I've done this in the past.

Are there any UPS employees here who can explain this? I've had packages that were addressed to me misdelivered to people on the other side of the state. No similarity whatsoever between the two addresses. I can see a package getting misrouted somewhere along the way, but you'd think the error would get caught at the sort facility, or before the package is loaded on the truck, or before the driver picks up the package and leaves it on the doorstep of some random person.
Is there a barcode or something that, if it gets messed up in the beginning, the package is going to be delivered to where the barcode says, regardless of the address written on the package? Enquiring minds want to know. |

Sounds like you might want to call the police or speak to UPS upper management.
I've read that a common credit card scam is to have items bought on stolen cards delivered to a fictitious address, then a UPS employee grabs them before they can be delivered. That way, the stolen items aren't delivered to the thief's home address, and the police have nothing to go on. The package is never reported as missing, so there isn't an investigation. UPS can find out who missed work that day, so they know who missed grabbing their package. |

I just thought of somthing. You might of got his package and he might of got yours. The drivers will have a list of packages in their truck and if they were similar in size he might of just grabbed the wrong ones, if so he might have yours and be discussing the same thing on another forum. |
