Beware - FedEx Drivers are forging signatures for delivery confirmation
In the span of 2 days I had 2 separate deliveries of expensive audio equipment delivered by FedEx. One on the east coast and one on the west coast. They were both insured for the full amount and high dollar values, which triggers FedEx required direct signature by the recipient. In one case the recipient let me know that the driver signed for him and left the package in the snow next to his mailbox. He never made contact with the driver nor signed for the package. In the second case the driver again signed for him and left the package on his porch, and never made contact with the recipient. In both cases everything turned out ok, but this terrible business ethics from FedEx employees.
It's blatant forgery by the drivers, and who is left holding the bag if the package is stolen? It's the driver's word against the recipient. I have a feeling the shipper (in both cases me) would be when I paid for full value insurance. What is the motivation of the driver, just laziness so they don't have to come back for another delivery attempt? I made a formal complaint with FedEx which supposedly they are going to trace down, but I have a feeling this is not going to make a difference.
Things are getting worse and worse these days!

Sounds like most packages are left very near or at your destination. Your are lucky. Ours are delivered all over the place: different house numbers, different streets, different neighborhoods! We always get pictures of delivery but they never match ours. Most recent was at someone's back door inside their walled off patio. Had to trespass to enter. We have a red front door (instructions to only deliver there, and a big "deliver to front door only" sign. Installed after driver left 50K item out back (signature required), outside on top of ground cover with working sprinkler underneath. We did not discover item until 48 hours later because seldom exit that way. Unfortunately the shipper suffers by refunding money or reshipping. Doubt things will improve. |

@awboat I agree, I can't believe one post included UPS drivers don't get well compensated. I went to a Van Halen concert with my brother-in-law that worked for UPS and we seen a UPS truck go by, he said that guy was making well over 6 figures, and that was 15 years ago. |
