I bought a few electronics total of 12 packages (value of 4800$ total) from Walmart.com and the packages were all assigned by it carrier called Lasership who lied about hte delivery status.The tracking information was maliciously forged to cover a lost/stolen package. Their driver delivered 8 packages in 7 times in 4 hours for a same address delivery according to the tracking information. We called the police and the officer confirmed the nonsensical tracking information and indicated that "the packages appear to be lost or stolen during shipment."
I sued Walmart in small claim court but figured later that the terms on their website states the delivery is subject to a "shipping contract", which means once the packages were handed over their carrier, the risk of loss or title transfers to the buyer. However, I do not have a contract with their carrier. How could I sue them? Walmart has a contract with their carrier.
Who should I sue in this case? I want to add Lasership to the defendants but not sure if this is going to make the case very complicated since the two defendants intend to shift the blame to each other (which they are currently doing now).
