Mark, To provide a shippers' perspective on this, just suppose that it was delivered and left at your front door without anyone signing for it.
Then, some criminal comes to your home, sees it on your porch, and takes it. Your radio is gone, and UPS has proof that they were there (their GPS-based system proves where the driver was and where he scanned the barcode on your package) and who loses? In this case *YOU* would lose all of your money. Elecraft would not, and neither would UPS. UPS can prove that the package was left on your porch. This is why signature required is appropriate for high-value shipments. It ultimately protects you from loss. If you cannot be at home to receive a shipment, as others have suggested make other arrangements - either to be at home yourself (preferred) or have it delivered somewhere else. 73, Bob W5OV -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2010 8:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] K3 Shipped But Requires Signature!!! I can't believe that Elecraft is sending my K3 requiring a signature! How do they expect a working person to be at home when UPS delivers to get a signature??? When I ordered the rig over the phone nobody told me that this is the way they ship. And to boot, I would have to drive over one hour to a UPS delivery center to pick up the radio. I certainly hope they will call me tomorrow and straighten this whole mess out. This certainly does not give me a good impression about the company. Just venting!!!!
