How do I stop needing to sign for packages? -

I live in an apartment complex and UPS and FEDEX both require you to be home and sign for all packages or else they will be taken to the office where you have to pick them up. Is there a way to contact UPS or FEDEX and tell them I do not want to sign for any packages and just to have them leave any packages at the my door from now on?I called the 1-800 UPS number and they said they can only do that on a per package basis, they cannot have an overall waiver for not needing a signature.

You have to arrange that with whoever is shipping packages to you, so they can indicate no signature required when making the shipment. Although, the sender may not want to do that if it is something of significant value because someone could steal the packages.Either that or have them sent to work where somebody can sign for them (that is what I do).

Their problem is that if your package gets lost you will be the first one to complain so they are protecting themselves against your possible claims.Perhaps you can send them a legalized disclaimer that clears them should anything happen to your packages, in that case I suspect as soon as the delivery man discovers this they will stop delivering them to you and just keep them!

It depends on the place that shipping it and the shipper. I know FEDEX will allow you to sign the door tag they leave if they miss you the first time. They do attempt to deliver the next consecutive 2 days. If the door tag is signed when they reattempt delivery, they will leave the package at your door.They do that because someone is liable for the package until the consumer signs for it.LOL (Sexy Ellen)**Can I get best answer?***

Leave a note that says its ok for the courier to leave the package at your apt. MAKE SURE YOU SIGN AND PRINT YOUR NAME. Then they should have no problem leaving it.

I had this same problem. I just have everything coming ups or fedex brought to my work now.

Well I think you have your answer if that is what UPS told you.

just send it to one of their stores and pick it up. much easier than this ****
