Jewelry

[SahmIam]

MIL ordered a small, not expensive ($40) item and as per UPS, she has to sign for it. She won't be there so when I pick up the mail, I guess I'll have to contact UPS and have it come to my house (?). I've never ordered jewelry so I don't know if this is standard or not.

Anyone?

Unless it was expensive diamond jewelry, that's odd. I have ordered 200 dollar cuffs from Evine and never had to sign for it, it just came in the regulat post.

I rarely have to sign for a delivery from any retailer.  However, I sent gifts to my son for Christmas directly from the retailer ~ figured I'd save some $$ on shipping.  Of course he was working when UPS attempted delivery, and they ended up sending the items back to the retailer.  It also happened just a few weeks ago with a different retailer. I am thinking it is because he lives in an apartment building and I live in a single family home.  So from now on, I am having all packages sent to his place of work.  Most of the time my regular UPS delivery man doesn't even ring the doorbell to let me know ~ he just leaves it on the porch.  (Guess he knows by now my chihuahua will let me know~ lol).  

Does your MIL live in an apartment building or something similar?  If so, this could be a possible reason.

@Bubbles219  No, single family home. First time she's been asked to sign for an order from a retailer. I asked her what it was and it's a ring by Samuel B. It's a gift for her grand-daughter. Very pretty, Very simple. From the info she gave me, it looks like it's coming from the vendor; maybe that's why?

Thanks ladies, for your replies!

My husband ordered a watch for me from Evine and I did have to sign for it. It was $100 item.

@delish91  Thanks for the info!

I've order some expensive watches and lots of other jewelry from Evine over the years and have never had to sign for anything.

@Kachina624   THanks for this. I wonder if it's because it's her first time ordering jewelry from them? In any event, we're signing for it.

The Samuel B bracelet that came last week was switched over to the Postal Service, I'm sure the  exchange will also.

I've never had to sign for Evine purchases.   Set up a UPS "my choice" account. There is no charge.  You can set your preferences for delivery including waiving the signature and location where you want packages delivered.
