<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 3516022, member: 74863&quot;]It is an offense that could get your carrier fired if you complained. It is legal for your carrier to sign for you as there is no law against that but it would be illegal for your carrier to sign your name. That&#039;s forgery.</p><p><br /></p><p>Before I retired from the Postal Service I had to deal with this very issue. I won&#039;t go into details but the principle is the same. Having dealt with this issue of a carrier signing for the customer is a serious offense. I know what I&#039;m talking about and I know the people involved in this. If you complain it will become a mess for all parties.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=17665]@tommyc03[/USER] and [USER=99137]@TyCobb[/USER] said it best. You need to decide as a blanket policy, do you want your carrier to sign for you? If not, I would strongly suggest that you either speak to your carrier or leave a polite note addressed to your carrier in your mailbox. Simply thank them for their service and ask them not to sign for any parcels but rather leave you a delivery notice.</p><p><br /></p><p>You can then take the notice to the post office the following day and pickup your parcel. You can also sign the delivery notice and fill in the required information and it will be redelivered as per your request. One last option open to you is to go to the postal web site and schedule delivery of the item when suitable. Hope this helps and best wishes in resolving this.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will add that in my case the carrier was put through (you know what) and was out of work for over three months while an investigation took place, with no pay.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your carrier is trying to make it easier on you by signing and delivering the parcel, which saves the hassle of you having to picking up but they have no idea what&#039;s inside or the value. You would be surprised as to the number of complaints I received when a notice was left but that is the correct procedure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
