No, most companies I know are pretty good about accepting deliveries for staff.

Too capable of being tracked. I imagine most stolen cards are used to purchase things at stores-or order things to be picked up at a store.
Well, when my number was swiped a while back it was used at (amongst others) Pixmania, I contacted the bank and they said they would monitor the card, it then got used more times, I assume it would be very simple to arrange the arrest of the person who accepts delivery for these known fraudulant transactions. I also assume there was a reason the bank took a hit for a couple of grand after the incident was discovered, if they made a bit of a song and dance about arresting someone then it should at least cut back on credit card fraud.
