- ghaff 1y agoDon't know the last time I've been required to sign for something. That said, I live in a semi-rural location very well off the road.
- ortusdux 1y agoMost delivery companies enacted signature exemption rules for covid and are in no hurry to rescind them. Getting signatures takes time, which affects their bottom line.
- toomuchtodo 1y agoProtip: Ask for hold at location. Downside, you must drive to the facility. Upside, less hassle than if package is pirated. https://www.ups.com/us/en/track/change-delivery https://www.ups.com/us/en/track/change-delivery https://www.fedex.com/en-us/shipping/hold-at-location.html https://www.fedex.com/en-us/shipping/hold-at-location.html
- ghaff 1y agoI suppose it depends on your assessment of the risk. For me, taking an extra 30-45 minutes to pick something up is a pretty high bar. I've had a couple mis-deliveries at home but it's rare and think I eventually got the items. That's versus hundreds of other deliveries.
- ortusdux 1y agoUPS closed my local facility to the public last month. Now I can only drop packages off at third parties for a fee, and the nearest hold location is over an hour away.
- ghaff 1y agoUPS was very unfriendly for consumer dropoffs for ages. That changed a bit. But seems to be headed back and I rarely get deliveries of Amazon stuff via UPS any longer.
