Does NewEgg's Fedex delivery require a signature?

[Ryan]

Arg - It turns out that my new mobo is on their delivery truck - I'm not going to be at my house for the rest of today due to classes - will they leave it at my doorstep or will they require me to sign for it before delivery can be taken?

 

For most smaller items, FedEx has just left them in my hallway. However, I've never ordered from Newegg, so they might give FedEx different instructions. Was it shipped Express Saver?

EDIT: According to the FedEx website, Signature Home Delivery on a Ground shipment is $2/package. I really doubt that Newegg would spend that extra $$ on a free ship.

EDIT2: But for all Express shipments, I think FedEx requires a signature. So it depends which method Newegg chose...but since it said "Express Saver" on their site, you might have to sign.

Yes, that's it.

iirc, you have to sign unless you instruct newegg or fedex differently.
Try calling fedex and asking them to leave it without a signature.

don't know how it works in the US... but most stores in Canada require you to sign for it, because you can just say you didn't get it and make them ship you another one.

unless you've filled out the form that allows them to leave it, they won't.

Darn, I;m in class - it'll have to wait for an hour.

I just had some stuff delivered from NewEgg a couple of weeks ago. What hdeck said is right.

True. It might be different if the package could be left at an office in an apartment, but for houses where the package would have to be left outside, they will not leave said package without a prior signature on a form from you (they will leave such a form the first time they attempt to deliver if you are not there; leave the form outside next time and they will leave the package even if you're not there).

When my computer was shipped from newegg (new mobo, ram, DVD drive, CDRW drive, processor, HDD, gfx card) they didn't ask for a signature. IN fact, they delivered to my house when i wasn't there.

That's why I have all Fedex deliveries sent to work. They sign for it at the front desk

I've always had to sign for Newegg's free Fedex shipping.

Sometimes you have to sign for it.

I sent something Fedex Ground Home Delivery last week and they said they just leave it, no signiture.

They are required to sign for it at the office, then you are required to sign for it when you get it from the office.

They toss my newegg stuff under my gate and leave. My xp2400+ and stuff showed up under the gate last week...

You do not have to be home. The signature is not required. I'm rarely available when my Newegg orders arrive. Just leave them a note saying where to put it and 90% of the drivers will have no problem with it.

You can actually ask FedEx for a waiver of your signature, but be forewarned if you do and the box disappears...you are out of luck.
