Had to sign for my Q packages today🤷‍♀️

homedecor1 · ‎03-09-2010

I heard a knock at the door & was UPS driver.

I had 2 boxes from Q he said "I'll need your signature to leave your packages". I said "For a $20 item and $18 item I need to sign, plus I'm in gated community🤷‍♀️".

He explained UPS has been instructed to deliver only with signature from QVC. If I wasn't here I can only imagine how I'd get my packages...

USPS on the other hand, leaves my Q packages at the curb or by the mailbox.. the driver I guess doesn't want to walk up to the porch. We have a new guy and I complained to PO because my boxes were soaking wet from sitting out in the rain🤬. It wasn't anything that could get ruined -- just soaked.

If this is new policy with Q then for sure I'll do less ordering as I don't want to "chase" my packages.

Anyone else having to sign lately for delivery ?

@homedecor1 Such a frustrating experience, I don't understand what's going on sometimes but maybe that's their idea.

I had a delivery today by UPS but in tracking it was noted that the package was transferred to the post office for delivery - again, frustrating as I was expecting it was delivered up the hill in our development's mail boxes. Maybe it's the gremlins, lol.

@homedecor1 Have you reported packages lost or misdelivered? If you've had some it may be a new policy just for YOU. I've had several that a new driver lost and I wouldn't be surprised if I'd get that too. They can't ring the doorbell because they'd have to lift their arm 12", despite a sign asking them to do so. I wouldn't mind signing as I'd at least know there were packages out there.

No I've never had to report "lost" packages in fact all mine show up w/in 10-12 days of ordering. The hardest part is figuring out how to get 4-5 boxes in the house without the 😳🙄 from spouse or snide remarks like QVC again ...lol

Today I got 2 boxes but more to come🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

No, I live in an apartment building and UPS packages are often left in the unmanned lobby. One of the drivers brings them up to my door but he doesn't ask for a signature.

If you have a ringbell, they don't have to ring the doorbell, it will ring when they approach and you can look on your monitor and see who's there.

@colleena I am "up and down a hill" too, with no sidewalk. Of course, the mailman leaves a key to the package locker in the mailbox. Trouble is...the locker number is worn off the key...and when I finally find the right one.....the door to the locker is old and hard to open....and I have actually fallen on my ****** trying to get it open..... di

@Desertdi It's easy for me to say as I am feeling the same as you w/lthe delivery of our packages, it shouldn't be so hard.

The ups/pos supposedly make it easy for us to get the package, sure they do, I don't want any issues but I don't think they do either so I don't understand.

@homedecor1 I am getting so sick of delivery issues. I doubt I will be ordering much for Christmas. I had candles damaged in shipment and a package that was suppose to be delivered yesterday now don't look like it is near my house. I have no issues from other companies. I just don't understand.

I have only signed for wine and had to show drivers license and was FedEx. If I had to sign for all packages I would be out of luck. I work during the day,

I am lucky because I have never had a missing package. I've received neighbors package now and then but I just take it over instead of calling UPS. He normally does a great job but now and then a fill in.
