I learned my lesson with this. I sold a TS-2000 and had it shipped and
insured via UPS. UPS delivers it and the guy isn't there so they leave
it on the front porch. His house just so happens to be adjacent to a
city bus stop! He gets home to find that the package is no longer on
his front porch like the tracking information online says. UPS calls
the driver and they confirm it was left on the porch. I refund the
money that I was paid for the stolen radio and 4 months later I finally
get UPS to cut a check for the insurance. All of this could have been
prevented by requiring a signature which I will do from now on. On high
priced items it makes sense for the shipper to require a signature.

Bill,
Only if you ask that it be required.
With the good tracking tools available with UPS, I really don't
understand why anyone would want to require a signature on delivery -
especially for delivery to a residence since there is always a chance
that no one would be home when the UPS man arrives. Take my
situation as an example - the UPS man usually arrives around 12:30.
If the XYL and I have chosen to go out for lunch that day, I would
miss the delivery and it would be delayed until the next day. Yes, we
receive frequent UPS shipments, maybe an average of 3 per week.
