UPS "signature required" delivery option sucks

[TallBill]

I just bought product x for ~$50 and for some reason the vendor put signature required on delivery. Now, I'm never home monday through friday before 5:00, so I'm also never able to pickup the package from the UPS center monday through friday. How the HELL am I supposed to get the package.

I called UPS and they already said that they wont just leave it on my doorstep. I guess I'll have to get ahold of the vendor and complain.

Yes

Also, are you sure your UPS center closes @ 5?

Yeah you should be able to re-route it if you can take deliveries there.

For future shipments, you might want to put a signature release form on file with UPS.

can't you sign it in the back of the delivery note and let them leave it at the door?

That's the USPS.

UPS = "What can Brown do for you?"

? That would defeat the purpose of getting the signature.

"What can Brown do for you" besides piss you off occasionally?

Most UPS customer centers are open until at least 6, if not until 8PM.

For a soldier, you do an awful lot of whining. You sure you're not on the Navy or Air Force?

And some will even make the package available after hours as well (they usually have some staff there all night). I picked up a package from mine at 11:30pm one night. Just call ahead and they can usually help you out.

No, it would be perfect in situations like this.

They attempty delivery, you aren't there to sign, they leave note on your door, you sign the back for them to leave it tomorrow, you get your package.

Exactly.

You can also sign a release form that will allow their drivers to always be able to leave a package. Basically you put your signature on file with UPS in case of any signature required deliveries and you're not in at the time.

The point of signature confirmation is that you're signing to say that you actually received the package. UPS leaving a package on someone's doorstep and taking a piece of paper with a signature on the back does not relieve them of responsibility.

Fvcking sh!t, do you understand the point of a consent form? It's seriously not that hard to grasp.

I will not be available to receive my package(s) when UPS returns. What are my options?
There are several delivery options available. First, look closely at the InfoNotice to see if any instructional boxes are checked. Depending on the requirements of the shipper, you may be able to sign the back of the InfoNotice authorizing the driver to leave your package. Or, in the comments section of the note, you may write another address where the driver should take the package for delivery.

You may also submit a Delivery Change Request using the UPS Web site. Enter your 12 digit InfoNotice number on the Tracking page to begin requesting a change of delivery. You may choose from the following four options:

* Reschedule Delivery: Reschedule a date for delivery at the original address.
* Return to Shipper: Return your package to the shipper.
* Redirect Package: Have your package delivered to an alternate address.
* Will Call: Arrange to pick up your package at UPS.

Is the consent form on the back of the slip UPS drops off?

Have them hold it for pickup. I had a company do that to me this week. I fvcking hate it when they do that.

BTW-It's not UPS's fault...it's the company you purchased the item from. Call them and bitch, see if they can have the package rerouted to you at work.

You've never had a UPS/Fedex/DHL delivery guy leave a doortag hanging from your doorknob saying they attempted delivery but nobody was there to sign for it? It has a space clearly marked on it saying something to the tune "Sign here if you want is to leave it at your door tomorrow and leave this hanging on your door for us to see"

No, I havn't seen one before.

 

[Tom]

When I sell stuff, I require a signature. It's the only way to avoid chargebacks from deadbeats.

Why would you order something delivered if you know you are not going to be there ?

Think ahead next time.

Oh, well I do at my house. I even sometimes leave a hand written note when I'm not there saying to leave it on the doorstep and scribble a signature if they have to.
