It may come as something of a surprise to many people, but it's actually possible to buy lost or misplaced packages from Amazon, FedEx, UPS, and other delivery services. In scenarios where a package doesn't reach its intended destination -- which could be due to an address or shipping issue --- these unclaimed packages are sometimes put up for purchase at an auction. It's an intriguing idea, but don't get excited just yet.
But first, a quick personal tale: A few months ago, I ordered some sneakers from Nike's website. When they still didn't show up a few weeks later, I contacted Nike and was told that there was a shipping mix-up involving FedEx. My sneakers were lost in transit. FedEx, I was told, had the package in a warehouse but was unable to deliver it for some reason that I still don't fully understand. Nike ultimately sent me a new pair of sneakers. The original package, as I've come to find out, may have ultimately been purchased by someone else.
