You can set it up so the driver HAS to get a signature ,
We live in the middle of the woods , an Off area or so they say ,
I have waited ALL day for a "Early AM " delivery only to have it show up at 7:00pm ,
I don't do that any more , if it is esential to have the part as soon as possable we have a hold for pickup at the nearest delivery hub ,
or if I have to have the part earlyer my boss will go to the main hub ( in Memphis for FedEx and UPS ) at 6:30 am and meet me half way inbetween there and here .
Oh and it never hurts that we work on ALL the scales at BOTH Hubs ( it helps knowing a few INSIDE folks )

It's times like this that I wish there were such things as unions for customers. A company would improve any deficiencies in its service really quickly if a large number of their customers could all "strike" (boycott the company) at once.

Yes, and a large organization(union) for/of consumers, would be sure of the facts before going off half-cocked.

I can assure you, my Pooka has never been half-cocked.
