failed and possible legal consequences if UPS steps in

what legal consequences do you see? don't see it any different than the driver or representative asking you did you really not receive your package and asking you to sign a form.

Yep its over, might as well go into hiding in another country and change your identity.

The target company was faffing around for the last few days, checking internally etc.
No they say they will send a ups represenative to inspect both boxes (manufacturer and delivery box).

haha, good one.

I mean you can always play stupid and say you misplaced it, or somebody from your family played a trick on you. Did you EB a gold coin or something? I've never heard of a UPS driver going out of their way to do this.

It wasn't a gold coin, ever done that succesfully? Funny that hardly anyone speaks about SE'ing precious metals, which are as close to cash as possible and will increase in value over time.

Very rarely done eb but both times with ups they wanted to send a rep/courier.
This item was less 120grams for sure. A long time ago, it was doomed to fail due to the weight of the item (watch from versace).
Can't say whether ups does it everytime but 100% on two attempts so far.

Seems excessive to me, have they not even asked for pics ? Could be a scare tactic.

They asked pictures of the box first. I thought the motivation would be so that the box has to be opened and is no longer sealed, lowering the value for resale. After them sending several internal emails, they said they need someone to pick it up and inspect the box.

Woah, that is a fairly extreme measure.  Do you care to mention the company? Was it a  very high value item? Is this an address with a lot of DNAs/EBs associated with it recently? Seems like a lot of companies are really cracking-down recently, at least from what I have been reading.

Company I won't mention but they were expensive headphones (not apple).
No such an attempt has not made at that address before.
It is getting harder for sure.
