I bought a watch strap on Shopee, and today I received a message from a random person (not from a courier company account) saying that my order is missing and he want to refund me by paynow. I assume it’s the delivery driver who messaged me, and who I assume got my order info and able to contact me via Whatsapp. I have many questions about this practice: 1) Is this because if I report my parcel as missing, the delivery person will be penalized and he rather refund the full sum from me rather than being downgraded? I mean the amount is small but the delivery driver wanting to pay in full means he rather pay my $6 rather than me reporting as lost. 2) Is ths practice common? By right I should seek refund from Shopee directly but why he offer to get refund me directly? Isn’t he making a loss? 3) Curious how he knows what I ordered. I mean the item description is on the label but he can find my exact order and colour as well. 4) Would it be a case of purposely losing my small value item to keep it? It doesn’t math but would it be possible? Let’s say it’s a limited item (like labubu doll), would the delivery person just say he wants it and arrange for a refund like this? Hope to hear from the perspective of the delivery persons at the block to know the practice of distributing delivery to different houses. submitted by /u/zeezeeway |
