UPS "lost" a desk once...never made it from one of their buildings on to the next truck.
Amazon has reported "damaged" packages many times....some are returned to them and a lot are delivered to me, just a bit delayed and definitely NOT damaged. What???
Amazon, postal, and LaserShip have all obviously either mis-delivered my packages or had them "go missing" after they were put on a truck for delivery to me. Many, many, times. At least Amazon now has that picture-taking responsibility for their drivers....if they bother to take the time to whip out their cameras and not just lie and say they gave the package directly to a resident. Quite a few times, I've looked at the tracking and seen a picture of someone else's door. Luckily, I've recognized the doors each time. So far. (We now have our house number showing three ways up by our mailbox...on the box, on a security sign, and on a free-standing plaque that we bought specifically for this kind of thing just a few months ago. It hasn't always helped. And LaserShip must have thought my next door neighbor was living in our garage yesterday...that's where we found her package.
FedEx and DHL remain flawless (except for the one time, years ago, that a FedEx person scanned in that my address couldn't be found....it had gotten to be late on a Friday night and I figured the driver had a hot date to get to...we've been here for 35 years now and this was only about 5 - 10 years ago).
Actually, UPS lost something just a few months ago....investigation yielded nothing....oh, yeah...it was a box of something heavy from Walmart.
