I got a "swell surprise" from them recently. Came home to find a note on my door saying it was a first attempt at delivery from FedEx, and a signature was required. I called FedEx and asked why my signature on file wasn't good enough? "Oh, we don't use that anymore." :confused: I said there would be nobody home to sign, so WTF am I supposed to do now? "Oh, you can pick it up at the hub." Swell, that's only 30 miles from here. :roll: Can't I just leave a note for the driver? "No, the shipper requires a signature." :|

I called the place that sold me the item. They said there was nothing they can do, because it was purchased through Amazon, and they required the signature for items over $100.00. Cool beans, eh? Something to think about when ordering from Amazon!

I only buy from TigerDirect.com especially if there is a rebate involved.

That's not the point. HTF was I supposed to know my signature on file was no longer of any use? HTF was I supposed to know Amazon would throw that required signature BS on the order? It certainly wasn't mentioned anywhere during the purchase!

The problem here seems to be with FEDEX??? Amazon protecting themselves against theft is a good thing. FedEx is the one that won't allow you to use a signature on file.

Nah, the only good online stores are Toysrus.com, target.com, and barnesandnoble.com.

Amazon could have warned me they do this crap, which NOBODY else I purchase from does.
