Signature required yeah right.

Signature required yeah right.

It is pitiful.

The whole point is to safeguard valuable products and "sensitive" items.

Which fails abjectly, when staff find themselves incapable or unwilling of fulfilling the duties for which they were hired.

I wonder what the companies do when confronted with flatly-incontestable video/audio recorded proof of such failures. (Rhetorical Q, mostly. My suspicion is they're most likely to 'round file' the problem.)

I just had a case of primers dropped off that yesterday's email notice of delivery stated "signature required".
Driver just dropped off the primers minutes ago and guess what, no signature was requested. The primers were dropped off besides my porch in front of the bowls for my cat.
Crazy thing is, the box isn't marked for hazardous material, it just has the ORMD black tipped diamond on the side of the box used for delivery.
Is this the new normal?

My neighbor said he didn't sign for these....

 

[Dgd6mm]

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign....
So if I was to have a deal with my delivery company with them signing for my packaged be in the wrong.....but if they decided to perform this action all on there own it's ok?

Last nightforce scope I bought couple weeks ago was a signature required by ups. Gave everyone a heads up to watch cause I'd be at work, got home from work there's the box with my nx8 in it against the garage no one signed anything.

Some UPS and FedEx drivers are still using COVID safety precautions to keep from having to look a customer in the eyes.
My UPS guy is great though. No complaints as long as he is running the route. Always makes it to the front door and always puts it in my hands if it's signature required.
FedEx not so much.
Until recently I have had good luck with USPS. about a month ago a Priority package got delayed. At some point they quit tracking it. After two weeks I opened a case on it. Funny thing, it showed up in the mailbox next day. So I thought it was just a coincidence. Nope! Had my wife order a small item from Amazon for me. The original delivery date was missed, then the new delivery date was missed and missed again. Then the package kinda went dark. It showed going from Atlanta to Columbia, SC, back to Atlanta, then to my local PO and then back to Atlanta before just dropping out of sight. I go by the PO and ask the lady to please see if she can give me any better info before I tell Amazon it's MIA. She says it NEVER was there and probably will NOT ever be there. Two hours later I open the mailbox and my Amazon package is in there with my daily mail. Bless their hearts!

I have to trap the ups guy to get my signature stuff. He automatically returns it to the hub.

We have very strict rules here for FEDEX or ups when they hire in this area, ... you must be or at least should be breathing. The second one is more of an option anymore.

The real winner here is trying to get something from amazon, your order will instantly go to shipped and below that there's a note saying it will ship within 2-4 weeks. And after it says shipped you can't change it.

I had a FEDEX driver leave a complete ammunition order at the side of the road and sign for it himself. We are talking 20,000 rounds of ammunition and he just dropped it literally on the curb.

I apparently signed for a powder delivery at home while I was at work, and misspelled my first name to boot (which, in retrospect, I should have copied off the shipping label, not that "John" is tough to spell...) FedEx actually sent me picture of that as proof.

Got emails 4 times that I had a package coming that required a signature. So I stayed home all day beautiful weather, sunny, 52 degrees light breeze, could have gone shooting.
UPS dropped the package at the door after 5 no signature and off the driver went.
Well at least I have my n130 (8 lbs.), now I start on primers.

Happened to me recently on a Trijicon that FedEx was supposedly dropping off. As I had no way of signing, I took the day off work. FedEx never came. Luckily the following day was a Saturday & I didn't have to miss a day of work. Had I known ahead of time that it required a signature, I would have had it sent elsewhere.

Regardless, I was kinda pissed.

But, a bad day of waiting on a package is better than a good day at work.

Here on the southern tip of Africa I had to sign and show ID yesterday before taking delivery of 2 pillows that were ordered online... at least delivery is crazy quick around the country, one of the things that's actually still working

Sometimes if your Driver knows you? They will do that as a nice jester?

I have had powder dropped off by UPS with no one home to sign. Kind of a joke. Tommy
