@catter70 They've been doing this stunt for years, too lazy to get out of the Jeep and walk to the door. I usually sign their slip, put it in the box then they'll leave it on day #3. It's a lot of work getting a package delivered. Once signed, they'll leave the pkg in the mailbox.
I've gotten all my meds by mail for years but never had to sign for one. Never had one go astray.

Only once I had a meds delivery..never again.
It didn't need to be signed for ..so it was left in my mailbox 200 ft. from my front door.
Before I could get down there..the snow plow hit my mailbox and we had to get someone to go into the drainage ditch to get my mailbox!

The only way to get someone signature for home delivery is to go to the door and ring/knock. If there is no answer, they leave a note telling you to pick it up at the PO.
I would not be happy if this didn't happen. The postal carrier is not doing their job correctly.
I would complain to the postmaster in writing.

He was running late or just plain lazy. I've had Ups and USPS do that to me. They don't want to take the time to deliver the packages. They deliver just the notices.

I had that issue a couple years back. My only solution seemed to be! Decided to drive the miles necessary to get my postal service office, and did talk with a real human. Problem eliminated.

Kids around here open mailboxes and pull stuff out of them! I've found pieces of my mail laying on the ground. Thankfully it wasn't windy that day! I would absolutely freak out if my meds got taken out and scattered on the ground...birds and squirrels would have a heyday.
Darn kids.

I remember one time I stayed home all day waiting for a delivery I had to sign for.
Later in the afternoon I went outside to look for the mailman. Lo and behold there was a note taped right next to the doorbell that I had to go to the postoffice and pick up the pkg. I was livid. And then I found out that the batteries in my doorbell were dead so it didn't ring. I have a wireless thingy. I had to take time off work and drive 3 miles and stand in line to get it. Learned my lesson.

Asked a pharmacist about this. Might be state law or sign off on patient counseling.
Most of our meds are USPS delivered,never had to sign.
