Message:: [QUOTE="Registered Mail, post: 907783, member: 21936"]Your initial comment was in regards to a Priority Package with Insurance and Signature Confirmation. There are very little security checks with regular Insured Mail. It doesn’t even come close to the security of a Priority Package with Registered Mail, so I was trying to point out that what might happen with an Insured Package is not likely to happen with a Registered Mail Package. To be sure, anything can happen when you figure in the human factor, but most Postal employees are smart enough to know that you don’t mess around with Registered Mail, because you won’t be around very long if you screw up!  To answer your question about firing employees for signing a customer’s name on a Regular Insured package, the answer is yes. I’m very surprised that anyone would even allow that to happen. If it were me, I would have called my local Postal Inspector and sent him a copy of the signature. Are you sure it was the carrier who signed the 3849, or could it have been someone else at the residence? The carriers are required to ask for ID if they don’t know the addressee, unless it’s being delivered to a business where a secretary or mail clerk can sign for it if previously agreed upon and it doesn’t say RESTRICTED DELIVERY, in which case it MUST be sign for by the addressee.
