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! 😀

  2. P @ psychedpsych: Have good day people, and I hate texting messages lol
  3. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 lol I am actually surprised it is a real ID. I needed those documents because my license had been expired for over a year and I had to start all over. Nothing was in the system. It was a huge mess. I had no clue I was signing up for Real ID. They asked me for the exact same documents that I needed for a State ID Card.
  4. S @ soupson: bless your heart buddy. no sense of grammar or proper insults/jokes. you need this place in ways i can’t comprehend
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Sweet Ol' Me asked about Real ID, Stoup. Are you responsive to emails ? LMAO
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I smell some Stoup. Is Stoup's on ?
  7. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda You win. I am lost. Thought you were surprised your license was a Real ID, now you say you provided those items.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda I was under the impression that you'd need all of the points to get a real ID . I'd check it's validity if you're gonna fly domestic any time soon, just to make sure. Not to tell you what to do, sorry -
  9. B @ bigblueallda: @drjimmy1964 In my state to get a Real ID, I need SS card, Birth Certificate and two proofs of residency. Which I am positive I had to provide to get a new ID when it had been expired.
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 advertising - putting in writing for example an negative action to show they are guilty prior to taking action.
  11. B @ bigblueallda: I haven't flown in an airplane in 20 years lol. Can't recall the last government building I have been in either. According to the symbol it tells me I should have on my ID to make it a Real ID I do have one in my state

  14. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @bigblueallda are you sure you have a Real ID ? I mean , they really want 6 points of proof and 1 for your addy and 1 for your SSN. Did you maybe get it done and forgot and flew out of the country or something ?

  16. S @ soupson: did anyone ask about real id or is sweet ol jimmy just rambling
  17. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything, just didnt understand
  18. B @ bigblueallda: {Visit your local Driver Service Bureau with the necessary documents: original birth certificate, Social Security card, and two proofs of your state's residency. } I definitely provided this when I had to get a new ID when i let mine go expired too long maybe I unknowingly got one but I think it is pretty standard here.
  19. B @ bigblueallda: Well it was a state id renewal. Before that there was a mixup and I had lost my birth certficate and social security number. After a couple of weeks and finally getting several documents in order I was able to get a state ID. It had been expired previously for a little too long and they wanted all kinds of proof. It was a mess. But nah I looked up what to look for an my state's ID to see if it is a Real Id or not and my card as the symbol it is supposed to have. I'll take a closer look though
