Allegedly

We know an individual who never received a package through the United States Postal Service.  The "item" required a signature, a "signature" was provided - allegedly.  The item was therefore "delivered".

It never actually arrived.

What happened?

• They were home on the day said "item" was "delivered".
• A one-bedroom apartment.
• They were listening or waiting for a "knock on the door".
• The item was "expected" and "out for delivery".
• A "tracking number" had been provided which unexpectedly showed "delivered" without an "item" being received.

Asking (in person) at their "designated" or "local" Post Office:

• The "item" was delivered on the date and time said individual was waiting at the address.
• "Someone" "signed" for the item (a "record" or "image" of the signature was not provided).
• Cased closed.  It was delivered.  To "someone".

We find that logic to be backward.

The "item" itself was a diamond ring purchased through eBay.  That detail does or doesn't matter.

Did the U.S.P.S. do their job or not?
