That's right. He could double negative stab and slash to his heart's content and there wouldn't be a mark on me!

 Early on here in the COVID scare (we were lucky enough to never get the epidemic) signature confirmation became 'we need a picture of you with the parcel'. I thought that was a great compromise, but negative points because they always managed to catch me when I was half asleep and looking like death itself. 

It's been awhile since I've had a Sig Required parcel delivered to me, so not sure if that's still what they're doing, but I'd hope so. It was the perfect solution to me.

Yep or the fast food drive thru person.  Had a GF that was rude to drive thru girl-when GF asked me what I wanted I said "nothing".  She didnt believe me when i said they can spit on your food or do other things.  I just shrugged.  She was always being nasty to people-honked her horn at guy in crosswalk once and recieved nice huge dent in her new car.  
Read abt one guy who kept complaining abt mail carrier ended up on no delivery list-had to go to post office to pick up mail from then on.

reminds me of a girl i dated who everytime we went to a restaurant she had to specialty order every single item , it was almost insulting how in-depth she would make her requests..you could see the waitress eyes roll because it was ridiculous ,

FedEx gave you wrong information about not being able to redirect your package to a local hub. You just need to register for a FedEx account - I've done had things routed to be held several times and it's my preferred way to do things.

NEVER hassle with a fast food worker. NEVER. I worked in fast food while in high school. I can verify “what is in that secret sauce”. 

Also, DO NOT accost anyone on the road. Let it pass no matter how angry you are. You never know who is armed and not afraid to pull the trigger.  We have had numerous situations of deadly road rage since the pandamic. 

I have made good friends with my mail carrier. Know him by name. Thank him for ringing the doorbell or hiding my packages behind the planter. 

Too many folks have a short fuse these days. Kill them with kindness.

I worked as a UPS driver helper this winter and signatures were not required. The diad screen would be marked CVD for covid and the driver would ask for last name. If no one was home we'd leave the door tag and try again.

Yes, during the pandemic the only rules that really matter are the ones that the people in power say they matter.

I've heard multiple stories about deliveries like this.

Unfortunately no call tag was left at the house for the first 4 attempts. Call centers are a waste of time I was told a supervisor would be in contact with me x2. (Never happened). Just frustrating where customer service has gone was it always this bad and I just didn’t notice or has a year of zoom meetings and being away from people changed our attitudes on things

I had the same problem, told to stay home, I was home, they never rang the bell, said they left a call tag but they did not. I did get someone at fedex when I called after they were not here by 3pm and they did call the driver. When she came back, she said ..."Oh, I was going to try again at the end of my route. That made no sense. How would entering that you left a call tag when you did not mean that you were going to stop back?

I've had expensive packages that were signature required dropped at my door. Once my ring app said someone was at my door (they didn't RING the bell, the app recognizes motion) , I opened the door  only to see the Fedex driver waving at me as he walked down the path back to his truck. He said "don't worry, I left it in the corner for you". 

The post office says there have been lots of thefts, that people follow the usps truck and take packages.

I've had the USPS drop off several registered mail shipments without getting signature confirmation (or even seeing a human) over the last year. That is not at all compliant with USPS policy for registered mail, but since nothing bad happened as a result, I've opted not to make a fuss.

Picking an unnecessary fight with your mail carrier is almost as dumb as picking a fight with your office janitorial staff.

Or the waiter bringing your food.

I can relate to the package drama. Since covid, security by the mail companies has been rather less than careful. I usually keep an eye online until it's imminent for delivery, otherwise it can be a lottery whether you get it or not.

Apart from the actual drop off problems the mail has gotten thru pretty well from USA to UK, and the other way too.

On the whole these people do a great job. They have to abide by their management directives and protocols.

I had a Fed-Ex package of about $1500 worth of books - I think it was from Clink. Anyway, I got multiple email messages that it was going to be delivered on a specific day and required a signature. Well the day of delivery came and passed, and about a week later, they did the classic dump and run when I wasn't home. Couldn't even be arsed to place the package in the large parcel box that sits on my porch.

Have you tried that with CGC since they changed their rules about redirecting? Because I have a private Fedex account and I couldn't do it the last time.

No, I cannot say that I have.

I was hoping you had.  It's difficult to figure out where I will be 8 months from now. I have enough trouble with 8 days.

After waiting a week from the 1st delivery attempt for my ebay win. Knowing that because of the value I would need to sign for the parcel and having missed the first 2 attempts my wife stayed home all day on the 3rd and fed ex was a no show. But their web site said delivery attempt was made and there was no one home. 
 

calling customer service was pointless as the call center can do nothing but apologize and tell you that the attempt will be tried the next business day. 
 

I asked if parcel could be held at my local fed ex hub, I was told no the only one who could request a change of delivery address was the seller. 
 

I was notified via email that parcel would be attempted Monday 6/14. Around 12pm today Saturday 6/12  fed ex showed up with the parcel and I did not need to show ID or sign for the parcel.  I asked why she didn’t want a signature while the seller paid for it she said it’s a covid thing and signatures are not required.

anyone else have situations like this since covid began or has it always been like this???
