Very curious to know and to hear from any of you that have done this....or just your opinion on it!

I have a HUGE dilemma and it will greatly effect a delivery.  

Have any of you actually had your package held for pick-up and actually went to your local UPS or FedEx and picked up the package there because you knew you wouldn't be able to be home to sign for it???

 
put a note on the door with the tn and sign it and say to leave it. Worked everytime with me. "Please leave my p@rcel here. The TN is:73737237732737. For *your name here* Sign your name. Thank you very much!!

That is what I write and they leave it.

I have done this before, just show them your ID, sign for your Tupperware and you are on your way.
 
Must be an IOP you're talking about . I personally try not to buy anything that requires a sig. One less piece of evidence.

It was Milenium Pharmacy, I knew the wife was goi g to be home so I had the carrier hold at facility then I went and picked it up. For that option, you have to sign. But come to think of it, that was the package with the federal ID tag.

I would have pooped my pants upon opening that...unless you think milenium put it there incase it was opened, to throw them off? Idk maybe I think too much.

 
if they want you..there going to get you...no agency has enough time follow up on the size orders we deal with..i wouldnt stress anything like that...unless your buying kingpin status...i havent heard of anything serious ever happening

 go sign for it. your conscience is getting to you . your just an average dude picking up a delivery like any other time RIGHT?

the stress from these scenarios stems almost 100% from your own brain pan, which maybe you can slow down after you go grab that

I know this is an older thread, but I order many things online, and use to work an hour from my house. So, my fed-ex packages that required a sig I would put ahold on them and the hub was twenty minutes from my job. Just walk in, give them the tracker or drivers license and you are good to go.

 
I have had to do this in my previous job as I could be called after 6 and be asked to go to another city from

90 to 120 miles away. In those days ON really meant ON and didn't want delivery setting on porch all day. As

long as I could print the TN info and had my DL they would put into the system to hold(for cust pickup) very early AM

as it was being unloaded from overnight air into del truck. The scan would say hold and it would be given to me

before I left town. Job change and really no ON anymore so haven't had to do that 3-4 years. No one ever cared anyway!

I love your idea but they come with an electronic pad that I have to print my name and sign.  This allows the sender to go to USPS and look at the delivery verification.  I suspect if you leave a piece of paper attached to your door with your data and signature, the post office ends up having to scan that into their system. I can see my carrier thinking, "this aXXhole is making more work for me like I don't have enough already".  This is just my opinion but I do love your idea....

 
When bad weather hit and my letter was at a local UP$, I knew it would not be delivered for upto a week because of bad road conditions. I just called them as soon as they opened and asked them to hold it there before it went on a truck. They held it there, I arrived. signed for it and on my way. Something funny though, there was a big ass sign right beside me and the worker that said be on the lookout for online pharmacy packaging.

 
I always hold at the hub - This way "overnight by end of day" is there when they open :)  saves money.  They get to know you and you just fill out the form / show ID / get package and sign

If it was controlled, they need to know when you're showing up

I have always done this 

 
So I had a delivery from SY (ON, should have been delivered last friday) and am trying to decide if I should open a claim for a lost love letter or not. Undue attention? I've been told that it cannot be tracked since it was last two states away, and is likely "under a belt," and misplaced.......!!?????!?!?!?! Never actually lost a package so feeling the sting of this and also thinking I want to be smart and not hedge my bets by calling attention to a situation. ?

 I think my vendor actually shipped from inside US. not that it makes a difference, but you never know it might. just saying. Any insight welcome

It sounds like you have made up your mind @ajmorgan99, but then again,  nothing ventured, nothing gained.........

  1. T @ Turbo259: @drjimmy1964 what did you mean by advertise? not gettin the verbiage, DM works if anything you mean by
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. 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 ?
  5. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Actually it says "Not For Real ID Purposes". That is my 2022 renewal of my 2018 picture ID. I am not due till 2026 and I am sure they will make me go in since my pic would be 8 years old - they used to make you go in in my state for aging when I was younger, then went paper - then back to picture ( I think 9/11 to blame for that ) but relaxed it.
  6. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Wow, for real ? You renewed your DL and without you knowing or having to present documents in person, they did it online? It has the star on top right and says "Rea: ID" Mine says ' NOT A Real ID" . I never knew what a Real ID was and never bothered to ask - I think I somehow was under the impression that it was for either military / gov't workers who had to travel over seas. WRONG lol.
  7. B @ bigblueallda: I already have one and didn't even realize it. I renewed my ID online about 6 months ago and I just looked at it today and it is a Real ID.
  8. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: @Turbo259 mine was duped , too. Not sure why or how my msg. duped. IMO that guy if serious and smart wouldn’t advertise with you
  9. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: I wish I had it when I flew to Vegas in 2022. The TSA line for Real ID passengers was short. Now it’s probably going to be crazy .
  10. drjimmy1964 @ drjimmy1964: Has everyone got their Real ID ? I think tomorrow’s the deadline yet just now an agent from AAA (I believe ) was on local news saying you can still get it past May 7.. Required for domestic flights.
  11. T @ Turbo259: sorry for the dupe message
  12. T @ Turbo259: Hey fam,, question for the masses, a vendor not from this forum lost a payment method and is blaming me for it, i have confirmed i havent done anything and even said i was willing to send the $ that was sent back to me to make good, they are being threatening a lil like its my fault to fix, any advice, dm me if easier, but curious as i did nothin wrong and kinda dont know what to do now, not lookin for issues from this person
  13. Scarecrow19 @ Scarecrow19: I wanna shout out to CNC fucking bad ass motherfucker he’s on point. He is the best if you want something he’s the man to see shout to CNC brother
