Hey good people! I live in a very rural forest here in the SE, USA where the USPS drivers won’t drive to my house, (one way dirt road) and only leaves mail packages a mile away on a main road in our mailbox. From what I gather, to be able to get a tracking number from practically any vendor.. I would need to sign for the package. They will leave a yellow slip telling me to come in normally if there’s something I need to sign for which is rare, maybe the occasional certified letter etc..

Call me paranoid but I simply don’t feel comfortable going in and signing even for tiny subscriptions. Do you guys think I’m being major paranoid about this? In the past, I’ve told vendors to just send package with no tracking and have been somewhat but certainly not always successful in receiving my subscriptions with some (lost in mail). Maybe I’m overthinking it.. perhaps there is a way to get a tracking # without having to sign for package but so far had no luck. Thoughts? 🤷‍♂️

Thanks in advance!!

 
Hello Mods, I hope this was the proper place to post this. Please let me know if it’s not or if there’s a better place to ask this question. I’ve tried searching for hours with no luck. Thanks ⭐️💀👍

 
Most vendors will (and routinely do) send packages from private carriers with no signature required (and yes with a tracking number) .  So uh, don't sign for a package :) ;    Not sure about USPS (as far as tracking without signature)

Interesting! I’ll have to communicate better with my vendor(s) to double check I don’t have to sign for sure. I’ve had to before and I simply refused. It was resent w/o tracking and then it arrived without a sig needed. Thanks @Roxyanne for the info. I’m a newbie to the forum and a lot has changed since I used to routinely get mail back in the day. I always just said  no tracking because I ain’t signing shit, hahaha! Learn new stuff everyday on here! Thanks for chiming in and reducing my paranoid level this afternoon my friend! ✌🏼

 
I’m not a fan of signing for parcels but only because I am usually at work when they arrive,meaning a nosey family member having to sign or having to que on weekend with the failed delivery ticket.There has been an instance when no ticket was left even though when i tracked the item it said it had been attempted to deliver and no one home.They tried again the next day and left the ticket to pick it up at the P/O.Nothing worse than waiting for a sign only package in the festive period as I’ve seen me waiting in line for WELL over an hour on a Saturday am in a snow blizzard

However I do like being able to track my packages so it’s part of the game we play I suppose

Bliss....

 
Thanks for the helpful input @blissopifree 2 I haven’t had to sign for a package yet, guess I’m a newbie and paranoid. I’ve gotten mixed feedback from so many folks here who sign all the time without a worry and then others who will never sign a thing. I’m probably making more of a big deal of it in my mind than it really is, lol! Oh wow! So Sorry ya had to stand out in the blizzard waiting, lol! For me, it would be standing out in 115 degree heat, ahhhhhhh!! Have a great day! ✌🏼

 
Hi @Josepagini don’t worry too much my wait in the Blizzard was a forgotten memory just an hour later and was worth the Cold Ha!!

Usually what happens in the UK when things get picked up in the post at customs they send you a L/L or (love letter) as we call them saying they have your package if you want to pick it up.Of course that would be a NO THANKS!.This would perhaps change if you were receiving VAST amounts the outcome may change but I wouldn’t worry too much about personal amounts my friend.I always feel a little anxious when going to pick up my parcels but that’s to be expected a little I suppose by the very nature of the vitamins I require🙄.

Bliss.....

 
Thanks a lot for the helpful info @blissopifree 2 Yup, only small personal packages for my broken back here. That makes sense totally, feel more at ease for sure! 😀

  1. T @ Tinyfishnemo: Hope everyone has a good and safe weekend.
  2. T @ tylerderrden: Dunno
  3. S @ soupson: What happened to chem genie?
  4. D @ drdrizzy13: LSU is trash and has always been trash but a night game in death valley is unlike anything I've experienced. Except the first game back to the superdome reopened after Katrina destroyed it. Everybody was crying and drunk as shit lol. All time favorite in person sports moment ever.
  5. M @ meepmoopmeep: Kiffin is a traitor and he and LSU deserve each other since they’re both complete trash
  6. D @ drdrizzy13: yea he's a joke lol. Can't stand him.
  7. L @ Layne_Cobain: You know who rly sucks…lane kiffin 😂 dude is all that’s wrong with college sports or at least a big chunk of it…and he lied about being told he could still coach ole miss in the playoffs
  8. D @ drdrizzy13: Hey at least Ole Miss got in. I can't stand LSU. They really sucked this year.
  9. M @ meepmoopmeep: as an A&M fan I’m content with us missing the SECCG for that reason. Georgia about to fuck Alabama up
  10. D @ drdrizzy13: Yeah I agree if bama loses I think they are out. That would be 3 losses. I don't see a 3 loss team getting in this year.
  11. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah that’s why sark was pleading his case about that Texas shouldn’t be punished for scheduling a non conference game against the best team and losing if they hadn’t done that they’d probably be in but oh well way it goes there’s always gonna be a few teams who get robbed or feel they got robbed even with a 12 team playofff…if bama loses to Georgia I’d think they’d be out but who knows
  12. D @ drdrizzy13: Alabama also lost to Florida State pretty bad. Whom Florida beat. I just think if they didn't decide to play ohio state the first game. They would be in with 2 losses instead of Alabama.
  13. M @ meepmoopmeep: @drdrizzy13 Texas lost to Florida of all teams, they weren’t heading for the playoffs anyways imo. At least not this year
  14. D @ drdrizzy13: Texas is offically out of the playoffs they didn't make the top 12. I do wish they were in it. They showed up against Texas AM. But there fatal flaw was scheduling Ohio State for their opening. Which would have been great if they won but they are a 3 loss team now.
  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: Yeah idk about arch I could see him staying with Sark for another year but if he plays rly well in the playoff who knows that is if they get in
  16. D @ drdrizzy13: Man a lot of Saints fan want Arch but I think he said he is playing another year. I would take him probably. But if Texas AM QB comes out or Ohio State's I think you gotta take one if your picking top 2.
  17. L @ Layne_Cobain: Is the qb class supposed to be stacked or thin for draft in April I follow college ball but I can’t think right now I think there’s def at least a few high potential qb declaring
  18. D @ drdrizzy13: Right now I believe we pick 2nd. ATM.
  19. D @ drdrizzy13: At first I figured he might be able to do something but our position players suck. We are playing a rookie QB. O-line sucks. It needs to be blown up. I hope we tank for the first pick
  20. L @ Layne_Cobain: Hopefully you guys maybe find a solid qb option in the draft you should end up with a very good pick
