And this is exactly what Is wrong with the concept. The hardships it creates can actually land folks in jail because they “went to get it back” from the wrong address next door.

Who in their right mind would just accept this concept as a normal business model?

Signature noun:

sig·​na·​ture | \ ˈsig-nə-ˌchu̇r How to pronounce signature (audio) , -chər, -ˌtyu̇r, -ˌtu̇r \
Definition of signature

(Entry 1 of 2)
1a : the act of signing one’s name to something
b : the name of a person written with his or her own hand
2 : a feature in the appearance or qualities of a natural object formerly held to indicate its utility in medicine
3a : a letter or figure placed usually at the bottom of the first page on each sheet of printed pages (as of a book) as a direction to the binder in arranging and gathering the sheets
b : one unit of a book comprising a group of printed sheets that are folded and stitched together
4a : key signature
b : time signature
5 : the part of a medical prescription that contains the directions to the patient
6 : something (such as a tune, style, or logo) that serves to set apart or identify also : a characteristic mark
7 : fingerprint sense 2

It is a very simple definition...

Today I watched air traffic in America. I was SHOCKED with planes marked PRIME... obviously Bezos is taking his own merchandise from airport to airport. For sure this has hit Fed Ex in the pocket... When can there be action in Congress that BUSTS these monopolies..like Teddy Roosevelt took on the Railroads and made them divest... Isn’t there a danger for any company to monopolize the source, the procedure and end product?

Of course in this modern world where most of what you’re signing is electronic your signature is on file. It just is.

“Sorry to hear that, may I make a suggestion to help you out with your constant diet of rice and beans??”

Hey... simple minded class clown. You Humble Gunner? If not please stop trying to be. He is a one of a kind and you discredit him with your obvious extremely low IQ.

I am 75 miles from any stores. My rig is down because last trip in the heat I had three tires separate from the heat. I can’t go get supplies until I get these tires on the truck.

Please take your childish class clown shit somewhere else so the adults here can have an adult discussion...

Man I hate when ignorant low IQ sadism comes into an intelligent discussion. “Look at me!” I am an A$$hole and proud of it!”

I’m lucky to get FedEx to deliver a package period. I always tell the shipper to use UPS.

My rig is down

Sorry to hear that. All the truckers I know have personal vehicles, why aren't you one of them? Or do you make your wife walk to the local store when you're on the road?

Nice try dude......

To add to my above post, you can still leave a signed and dated note on your door telling the driver to just leave the package anyway.

Those little electronic devices where you are
supposed to sign your name in the box are worthless.
I don’t understand their purpose.
“Anyone” can scribble “anything” in that little box.
It is not like a signature ever gets matched up anywhere.
I have just done a scribble, or a dash, or wrote “Elvis” and
it does not matter, it all gets accepted and goes through.

“Have you tried to call FedEx lately and get any customer service?”

Quite aggravating, is it not?

One of their dimwit drivers bent the rain gutter on my house. He never said a word and I only noticed it a few days after the delivery. I tried numerous times to talk with someone using their automated phone system. What finally worked was when I said “Driver” the I finally got an English as a second language representative. He took my info but I never heard back from them.

I would rather never to receive packages shipped via FEDEX. UPS is much better IMO. Another pet peeve is FEDEX will either lay packages in front of my overhead garage door or lean them against it. Someday I will surely back out of the garage run over a package.

True... I can see it now...

“Let me see the signature on file... Look... Do I look like Elvis to you?”

Lol

I just talked to fed ex. Yes it took over an hour to get a person. I politely told her to start writing a resume. Her companies days were numbered.

I’ve sent out many documents over the years signature required with FedEx, that they just drop off.

If I correctly recall, signature required is a cost plus extra.

A commercial Dodge dually 1 ton with a cummins is commonly referred to as a rig by all who own one.

Hence, needing six tires should have been a no brainer...

But instead of reading you just like to get off on being sadistic to members here.

Let me fill you in on what you do not know and need to know A$$hole. I just spent four months watching my Dad die slowly, My wife is currently dying, I have been running my ass off for those four months back and forth trying to keep them both alive and my tires failed. So did Dad on 9-11.

Do you care? Would you care? Of course not, all you care about is getting attention and getting off on being a sadistic class clown having no clue what is happening in the lives of those you get off on...

Nice try dude...... Absolute immoral and unrighteous comedy from a childish a$$hole class clown.

There wasn’t even any justification to throw jokes as you did in the first place. Did I come hit you? No...

Used to be the gold standard.

They used to have high standards for employment. I worked there over 30 years ago and for men it was no earrings, no beards, no visible tattoos, and short hair. Plus random drug tests.

Correct.
You seem to understand.
“Signature Required” is a meaningless exercise.
