Signing for Packages

[gprime]

Last night I was with a friend and told them I was expecting a package today, and it might require my signiture so I needed to get up early. I explained how if I'm not home they hold the package for a day (bring it way downtown) which is a 1hr+ bus ride from here and a major inconvenience.

He then brought up an interesting idea, "Can't you leave a sign on the door for them to just leave it there?" Could you? I mean sometimes packages strictly require a signiture but is it possible to give permission for them to leave it inside the door?

BTW: I live in a house, in a fairly trusting neighborhood (we rarely lock our doors).

Anyone have any experience with this?

Yes, you can do that !!! Write an instrution note with your signature on. I did that once.

[gprime]

Awesome! I hate sticking around the WHOLE day just to receive a package.


Dear Purolator:

Please leave any packages requiring a signature inside the door.

Thanks,

Name
Signature


Sound good? :)

[solarv]

yeah, write your tel number on the note as well...

My friend called up Purolator and asked recently and that's what they said to do. I guess they take the note (with your signature) as proof of receipt probably.

Yeah but if anyone steals your package, your SOL.

[gprime]

The note has been written and is now on my door. I'll be back later and hopefully my package will be waiting for me :)

I don't think the note worked. I wasn't left a slip, and the parcel wasn't there. When I checked the tracking on purolator.com it says:

2005/07/04 17:45 Delivery Rescheduled

Did they see the note and decide to try to redeliver it when I was home? :/
