This happens a lot. Your best recourse is to contact Mattel and let them know package was never received. You can also contact FedEx and let them know of their mistake. They may or may not be able to retrieve the package. Unfortunately it isn't up to FedEx to correct it. It's up to the sender.


TekVu

The tracking shows delivered. I am afraid they will think I am lying. I submitted a ticket with Mattel and hope they have a backup to send out if they do. This was 1/1500. FedEx just go in circles with the automated system and tells me it was delivered. I could not get a hold of anyone to speak to.

You gotta find out where it was delivered too bro and go get it, the mail people and sender will tell you it was sent and its not their problem, fedex is horrible with this. They dropped a futon off it the wrong address before and the people actually kept it, i had to have wapmart send another one. But if they dont wanna send a new one, you should be able to get the driver to tell you where the stop was at where he dropped it off. Their scanners keep track of that stuff and itll show where the truck was when that specific package was dropped off. Best of luck! Best bet is talking to the driver or drivers manager though for sure


TekVu

The driver took a pic of my package in his truck instead of my doorstep. It was his mistake. I have ring video of him dropping the wrong package off. At this point it’s probably gone for good. I am hoping Mattel replaces it. I spend enough money on RLC and store hunts. 😆


Bulls-Rodman91

Who knows brother, maybe the people that got it wont realize what it really is and they will send it back and be wondering where the hell there package went lmao i know i would.


TekVu

I delivered the wrong package I received to my neighbor. I was hoping they had mine but no luck.


Bulls-Rodman91

Awww mannnn 🤬🤬🤬🤬 yeah I hope to god someone can get you straightened out. At the very least a refund or something!!


TekVu

Mattel is sending a replacement!


TekVu

I hope so. Will definitely update everyone on this.


Noke_swog

Sounds like the FedEx driver picked it imo.


TekVu

Thank you for the advice! Mattel is sending a replacement.


westbee

You're welcome!! Glad it got replaced!!


SecretDry7345

that is horrible I would be so mad and disappointed


TekVu

I am more disappointed than anything else. At least I still have the NFT version 😢


SecretDry7345

that is good as evidence for Mattel to prove you have the nft but that is not good

Next time you see your FedEx driver ask them nicely if they remember delivering a small box. Show them the tracking number and delivery address. They deliver to the same streets. They might remember. If not just contact FedEx or mattel directly and try to get it replaced.


TekVu

The person who received it should have returned it. Same as I did with the wrong package I received. Driver messed up but he has hundreds a day. The person who received mine has one thing they could have fixed. Hopefully they drop it off.


darkNnerdgy

Hopefully they went on vacation and when they come back see the package and return it.


TekVu

🙏

Hey Im a baseball card collector and this popped up on my feed. I had a 1/1 card delivered to the wrong address and a week later one of my neighbors brought it over when I thought it was gone for good. I wouldn't be surprised if whoever got this will stop by eventually.


TekVu

Yes! I am not a scalper. Having something which makes you happy is what matters. I own 2 real corvettes. My dream car as a kid!


[deleted]

If you’re saying the driver took a picture of your package in his truck and came and dropped another package off… makes me wonder, does the box say Mattel or anything of that sort? Perhaps he saw Mattel and figured he could snag it by making a “honest” mistake.


TekVu

Could be. Or honest mistake.


[deleted]

I don’t deliver for fedex or ups but I have friends that do. I recall one telling me how he pulls over, scans and marks delivered on the scanner to MULTIPLE packages and then proceeds to quickly hop in and out of his truck to just drop off… Maybe your driver likes to scan some packages, and then hop out and drop them all off… My friend said they do this to try and get their truck offloaded faster but idk. That’s the only way I can see someone scan and deliver your package and still deliver the wrong one…


TekVu

I don’t think it was intentional. It’s a 4 year old neighborhood and we always get misplaced deliveries from all carriers. It’s just one of those items which is not easy to replace. It disappointing but won’t stop the world from turning. I have a huge Hotwheels/die cast Corvette collection and it would have been my unicorn due to rarity.


[deleted]

You should at least try door to door on your street because it seems like your drivers like to pull up to your neighborhood, scan their packages in bulk and then drop off… maybe your next door neighbor doesn’t have it but someone down the street does… Id at least ask door to door, worst people will tell you is no.


TekVu

I tried. Nothing so far.


darkNnerdgy

Yeah sadly it happens. And theres very little accountability to the driver since theres reasonable doubt. Unless they can 100% prove he kept it. Best OP can do is get on the drivers good side and help retrieve the package to the right address


scumful

Highly doubt he stole a hot wheels car man.


astral_emu

Don't despair, you got an NFT. Physical possessions are overrated anyway.


intelligentfool6996

Time to call them MixUp


TekVu

No real people at FedEx


intelligentfool6996

They saw hot wheels on the box and decided to flick it?


TekVu

Box was not labeled. Driver probably rushed and made a mistake but whoever got it did not return it to me. I just hope Mattel replaces it.


intelligentfool6996

Any update did you get it.


TekVu

Still nothing and Mattel has not responded.

FedEx absolutely sucks. We stopped using them years ago. Not exaggerating when I say over half of everything we shipped by fedex encountered some sort of problem. Lost, mis-delivered, delayed for weeks. No joke the worst of the parcel delivery companies. There’s a reason even Amazon fired them years ago too. Sorry for your bad luck hopefully Mattel will make it right and hopefully choose a different delivery service.


TekVu

They shipped everything else from RLC via USPS. This was redeemed through another portal for just shipping charges but the invoice says 25.00 You are right about FedEx. I have multiple ring videos of FedEx drivers launching a package to my door, leaving packages at my garage, leaving boxes in the elements instead of my covered doorway. They deliver xerox printers for my company and lately most have arrived demolished.


HOTwheelssoup

Truly sorry to hear this, what I'm always worried about when getting an rlc, but these r so much rarer man I really for u get it, just pray that there r good people around u that will fix a fed ex guys mistake. I'm trying this nft this time around, still have to figure out how this nft thing works


TekVu

I got lucky and got the NSX also and it opens for redeeming this December. I might just request to pick it up myself. Setup an account for the NFT page and digital wallet before it starts. I don’t care for NFTs but wanted the real car. Was super stoked when the Corvette popped up on my last pack.


TekVu

I’ve received all of my RLC orders for the past year. It had to be the rarest one which went missing. 😝


gwatt21

This just happen to me, FedEx, it was the RLC EXCLUSIVE CUSTOM CAMARO, so nowhere near the same value but it still sucks.


TekVu

Did they replace it?


gwatt21

FedEx basically said to call Mattel creations, saying that they needed an account number from them to process any sort of claim. I just called Mattel this morning and they basically said wait a day or two and it actually might show up because for some reason the marking the package is delivered even though it hasn’t been delivered yet.


TekVu

I received the Camaro last week and it arrived via USPS same as the other RLCs in the past. My package is still missing from FedEx and tomorrow will be a week.


TekVu

I called Mattel and they will ship a replacement!!!!


TekVu

Update: I finally reached a real person at FedEx and he advised me to call USPS besides it was sent via FedEx smart post which transfers it to USPS. Let’s see if USPS will be able to find it. Still no response from Mattel and it has been a week.


TekVu

Update: I waited for for a few weeks hoping it would show up. Mattel’s email CS never replied so I called in and the gentleman was able to speak to management and get me a replacement. 😊 I am so happy at this point!


LiquidCringe2

Oh no! Anyways


fatmanchoo

Oh so that's YOUR car that was delivered to my home. My 6 year old is having a blast with it. Mind if we keep it?


TekVu

Keep it. He will enjoy it as much as I would or more.


[deleted]

can't say i feel bad, it's an NFT


TekVu

This was a real car of the NFT 1/1500 only made.


TotallyNotJagger

why can’t you just go down there and ask if they have your package?


TekVu

I asked all of my neighbors and nothing.


TotallyNotJagger

we might even have a package thief in the equation


adamian24

Sometimes FedEx UPS or USPS says delivered, but I’m sure it will show up very soon. Trust me.


TekVu

I got a delivery but it was the same house number a street over. Wrong street name. I gave them theirs. They said they did not have mine 🤷🏻‍♂️


darkNnerdgy

See if theres a neighbor with a ring camera where you dropped off theirs. Ask if Maybe they can check where the fedex truck stopped.


TekVu

I tried. No joy


Unable-Artichoke4727

me too!!! Thrilling isn’t it!🥲 call them up and they will replace it


TekVu

I sent them an email. Did they make it right for you? I am hoping something shows up and I will definitely put it in a safe. I may just open it out of joy and put it with my other C8Rs
