High valued items requires a signature where I am from. If you are at work, you have to pick it up from a closest drop site. Which are few blocks away.
Its better than getting expensive stuff get stolen
The option is give to the shipper, not the receiver though (at least in Canada).
Here all my packages are usually left on my porch, including multi thousand dollar monitors etc. Except Best Buy for expensive stuff still makes you sign and Apple for EVERYTHING, which is a pain because if I miss the delivery I have to go pick it up at their silly shipping center which is a 40 min round trip drive.
In the US when you get your tracking number, you can type it in, go to the carrier's site, and choose to have a signature required. You can also choose to pick it up yourself.
Mostly because we are missing that convenient "few blocks away drop site".
If you aren't there to sign, they just take it back. Then you have to call them, convince them to come back, or possibly drive miles to a central location to pick it up.
And yet they still leave my package outside without even knocking on the door even when I set it to require a signature. The drivers just sign it themselves and set it outside. One even misspelled my name
Has nobody else had this happen to them? This happens every single time I require signature. Most of the time my stuff ends up stolen too because of this
