Logistics Scam - Got Scammed Twice via Amazon Shipping

Better Idea:

Buy security courier bags (non labelled or of Amazon / Flipkart) for appropriate size, put your items inside it. Use non transparent / non brown tape like that with Flipkart or Amazon name or use void tape (leaves marks when pulled out). Paste a "Do not accept if tape is tempered" sticker / page over tapes on both sides, add a QR code for fun to make it more legit. Now put it inside another security bag and paste the label over the opening of bag / bag seal.
Not sure how much security courier bags costs but they must not be cheap. If you are using multiples for each parcels the cost adds up quickly. Only do this for expensive items I guess.
 
Delhivery uses a A4 size sealable cover when picking up items here in Anupuram TN.
idk about the size, but yes that is true.
- whenever one books and urgent/express shipment they use the sealable bag
- also at a time when a shipment gets delayed or reached a wrong place and now its delayed cuz of that.
at that time/scenario too they can/may use sealable bag (a recent experience)

Not they're cheap like, a 100qt security bag shouldn't run more than 300-500.

Example (may require different size): https://amzn.in/d/bGYCy01 (Amazon packing)
https://amzn.in/d/iXsrWr3 (Non branded)

Similarly you can find Amazon or Flipkart or void tape (more expensive)
 
Lastly, always mark your parcel as fragile/handle with care. This way no one will dare to open it but for this the package shall be sufficiently mid-sized to large else you will pack some 10x10 and declare fragile and none will give a damn about it!
 
Not a fool-proof idea but knot a thread tightly (covering all 4 sides so 2 lines going across) on the package so its visible and put tape on it, then tell the consignee to not accept the order if its broken or loose. Most thieves would straight up not bother tampering with it and if they did you can easily know its tampered. Now the fun part, when the package returns you just weight it in front of the courier guy and since it would be tampered the weight will be different.

Let me know if anyone got any better idea I can also show you how the package looks after its packed. This will of course not work if the courier service packages the item over our own packing.
That sounds like a pretty good idea indeed!
wdym by karma ?
 
most likely your local hub is doing this. There's almost no way to track where it happened in the supply chain, just you'll have to change the shipping provider.

Yes I know that, 100% sure it is happening in my region.
Cuz 2 orders, to 2 different parts of India, one to Chennai, other to Gujarat.
Can't be an in - transit incident.

Best part - no more TE orders were dispatched via Amazon, pending orders are all on DTDC / Delhivery
Worst part - 3 more orders (NVME, NVME, Smartwatch) are via Amazon Shipping, dispatched around 4-5 days ago, just hoping that these not be tampered. I've informed the customers to reject the package if they see any extra taping / tampering signs on the box.
