Sorry to hear of the bad news. A few months back we experienced something very
similar at work. Maybe you can see a few problems with the following:

A laptop was shipped in it's original box (not double packed, so the whole world
could see the contents) via a no-name local shipping company. Needless to say,
the empty box showed up. The receptionist, not knowing any better, signed for
the package. We back tracked and found that the shipping weight was more when it
shipped than when it arrived.

You should have some recourse with the shipping company or the person that sent
it.

IMHO the mail-order company never sent you one--- they sent you an
empty box!  Otherwise, yes this is one hell of a longshot, unless you
believe in the stunts demonstrated in the latest 007 movie!!!
