With the thousands of UPS/USPS delivery/transport trucks, there are probably at least a couple accidents every day that results in loss of product.
One reason for my being cynic is the box with the camera shows the items contains lithium batteries. That plus being shipped to an Amazon Locker location could be clues as something electronic and of possibly of value. Or maybe it is just me being suspicious .

I think UPS is still tops as for tracking. I've had items damaged during delivery and the tracking would show that.

Amazon's delivery showing the status of the driver on a map is nice but this is inconsistent as the status doesn't show for each delivery.
