I got a delivery last week and when I opened the packaging it was a Chemical Engineering Diploma from a school in another city. I tracked who he might be down on Facebook and left a message (the Diploma has 2 last names, the profile only 1) but I don't think he visits much because he doesn't have a picture and his wall is open with "joined Facebook" as the only post. He is not in the phone book, and the names suggest he may have been a foreign exchange student.
Should I contact the College? UPS? Exactly how much effort should I be putting into this?

I'd probably at least do a return to sender call to UPS. In the past, they've let me leave the package on the porch and they picked it up sometime later.

I normally just put most things back in the mailbox when it is to the wrong address but with something like that I would probably put in a little more effort and call UPS. I am sure they can track it back at the very least.
I would hope if it was my diploma and it was delivered to the wrong address that the recipient would do the same for me.

Actually I just remembered it was another courier company, DHL delivery or something, with a yellow truck. I just found them online and will call their #800 number. I am thinking more and more that he might have been a foreign student as he obviously didn't attend his graduation.

At least when I graduated they don't hand the acutal diploma to you on stage, you get it sent to you in the mail.

I got mine on stage.  Mailing it was kind of dumb anyway because they put an alumni pin in and it made an impression. |

Yes, there was only an address. I wasn't expecting anything so had no idea what it was until I opened it and by then the driver was already gone.
