We get the “they left it without a signature” thread once every couple months.
What is the driver supposed to do? Pitch a tent in your front yard and wait until you decide to show up? Some people are idiots. And no, I’m not talking about the driver. I’m talking about the guys here.
The driver has a truck full of stuff that he has to deliver. Every day. But somehow, he’s supposed to be a psychic that knows exactly when you are going to be home. Now, there may be two deliveries on opposite sides of town at the same time. But, by god he did/didn’t t deliver it within my five minute window so I’m pissed
IF YOU ARE HAVING IT DELIVERED TO AN ADDRESS AND NO ONE IS THERE, YOU ARE THE IDIOT, NOT THE DRIVER. HE’s JUST DOING HIS JOB.
I got news for you Skippy. The world doesn’t revolve areound you. The driver isn’t going to build his whole route plan around your delivery.
Here’s a really novel idea. Have it delivered to an address with somebody there. BINGO!!! Problem solved!!! See how easy that is?
My understanding of the policy for signature required items is that if the recipient isn't home a note is left saying that the item couldn't be delivered and would either be held at the FedEx/UPS/USPS/whatever company facility for pick-up by the recipient or delivered the next day. I have not been at home when the delivery driver was there and he left a note. If this is the company policy and the driver doesn't abide by that rule he should be fired. The world doesn't revolve around the driver either, he serves me the customer. I have also waited at home for a delivery that was supposed to happen according to the company's web site and it never arrived, came the next day. I've had packages come in before the supposed delivery date. Kinda hard to be there when the item doesn't come in when it's supposed to. I'm not psychic or have a crystal ball either.
