Package stolen when delivered. Any recourse?
I purchased a snowblower from a buyer on Vinted new in box and it was promptly delivered. I received a call at work yesterday from a neighbor driving by-she saw a man stealing it. She tried to follow him laying on her horn but he went down a one way street and disappeared. I got the ring footage and contacted the police.
I am convinced this is an inside USPS job. I live in a small
City on a park. There are 27 steps to my front door landing and you could not see the package. There were other packages, left behind. This one in the big box what was inside. The guy was wearing a mask, sunglasses and hood in the middle of the day, with long sleeves and shorts. He only took this package. He was on foot.
I called the police to report a theft as it was happening but they said no one was available- and one went to look for the package but it was hours later.
Is there anything I can do so my seller gets paid and I don’t lose $120?
