A PC builder who ordered new RAM found nothing but an empty package on arrival, according to a thread posted November 28 on the PCMR Reddit. The user said the parcel — which included a Crucial 32GB DDR5-4800 SO-DIMM memory module — had been reported as delivered at 4:15 am with a fake signature.
While this case involves a single buyer and a single courier, it sits within a broader trend. Posts across Reddit’s PC hardware communities show a pattern of components disappearing in transit, particularly small and valuable parts that are easy to pocket. In several threads, customers recount receiving empty boxes and cartons filled with low-value household goods. Some deliveries were marked as completed before the buyer even had a chance to check the doorstep.
