I was going through the How I Save Money blogroll to see which of my favorite blogs had a post that really touched me last week. Well Baz touched my funny bone with Fed Up With Fed Ex – No Signature Required . This post details his problems with ordering things off the internet and having Fed Ex just leave his packages lying on the steps of his apartment.
Now I know I laughed a lot at his retelling of the events but this is really a serious issue as someone could steal his packages since they are just left lying on the ground each time.
Have you had issues with deliveries being made when you are not at home? Please share your story with us!
I think next time I’ll try a post it note and see how that works out.
I have had such an experience which ended up good because one of my neighboards took the collet and gave it to me later.
Neighbors are fine if you know them, which I don’t.
Kinda funny actually, I have the exact opposite issue. At my old apts, they would always leave stuff at the door and I never had any issues. The only problems I did have was when a package required a signature… and they knock on the door at 9am… by the time I get out of bed and half way dressed, mr FedEx had already left. Seems they only stick around long enough to write out the door tag info.
My guy was pretty cool tho and eventually started leaving his cell phone number on the tag so I could call and get him to swing back by with my package(s).
@ Baz:
You better hope the post it does not blow away.
@ Shawn:
You need to hook Baz up with that delivery person then! 🙂
