What do you do with packages that are left at residents doors that no longer live there and no way to contact them and the company want take them back? Thanks

Can you call or email the former resident?

None of the contact info is correct. These are packages in my office when I started a few months ago.

If the company doesn’t want them back they are telling you to keep them then open them & keep just prob save that documentation

If it’s been more than a week, just return to sender. And then use this situation to let everyone know you can’t accept packages anymore

We attempted contact, if we got ahold of them then we’d have them pick up their packages.

If we couldn’t get ahold of them and company wouldn’t take back then we’d hang onto them for 30 days. After 30 days we would open see if there was any use. If not, trash. You just treat it similar to when they move and maybe leave something behind. Hold it for a certain time, someone either gets it, donate it or trash it.

Amazon will tell you to keep it or throw away. I say donate it

There is actually an email and phone number for a department of Amazon that will pick up misdelivered pacakges.

Hold 2 weeks. Donate them to homeless shelter.

I drop them off at the said carrier. Bye!! Here ya go

Hold for 28 days, donate, sell or keep after that.

My favorite nation..... Donation.

Call the resident twice, then RTS through whatever carrier brought it.

You have no way of contacting and ex resident? No email, phone or forwarding address?

Darcy Johnson sadly this is common with people these days. They think if they don't leave a forwarding address or anything then their final bill won't be due.

No way to contact them like bc they weren’t a resident? We require a forwarding address at move out since that’s how security deposits are refunded. If they were a resident and I tried to reach them by phone or text unsuccessfully, I would email them to see how they would like to handle it. If I don’t receive a response within a week, I return it to sender. Usually have to take it to an actual location - the drivers can’t return the package unless there was a signature required for delivery and you refuse to sign for it

We hold packages for 30 days. If not claimed then we open them. Items of value are shared between employees.
Same as this past week, a resident had groceries delivered to her door step that did not belong to her. We waited 24 hours for them to be claimed then disbursed the food amongst employees

We give them as Christmas presents for our bosses.

Facebook message them for pick up. One of mine confirmed but never showed for items found in storage (baby books, photos, etc). She passed away the day after we were messaging. We found her mother through her Facebook page to pick the items up.

Give them back to the delivery company. They will sort it.

Many refuse to take it in my area. Nobody got time to make 20-30 min phone calls to Fed Ex or Amazon.

Amazon people won’t take them back- I’ve tried that. I always have to call Amazon

Keep it after a month if you have exhausted every option to get it to the rightful owner. We have stuff in our back room from 4-5 months back.

Amazon has told me to either throw them away or keep them.

We attempt to contact the resident. If unclaimed after 30 days, we return to sender or throw away

I can't recall a time when a carrier wouldn't let us return to sender...or at least, they took it back. But, I agree with donating to a shelter of you are told to keep it. Keep your documentation.
