I assumed they needed a tracking code for a delivery in USA, that Amazon can verify a delivery was made using it, but can't verify the goods sent.
If I'm right then having tracking data include the package weight would go some way towards stopping the fraud - at least for heavy products.
I wonder if shipping companies ever offer a 'verified item' system - they could have the recipient open the pack, photograph the contents and include with delivery details. Or, maybe an xray outline of goods.

- myself248 6y agoOh I love the xray snapshot idea! I've heard of people specifying "hold at depot for me to pick up" on valuable shipments, partly to thwart porch pirates, but more to bolster their case in the event of missing/wrong/damaged contents. Open the package and inspect the goods right there in the lobby, in full view of the clerk and coverage of their security cameras. I'm realizing that if one has a home security camera that covers one's porch, one could do something very similar (although not quite as airtight) by simply opening the package on the porch in the view of that camera. Hmmmmm.
