You're right.. It doesn't have anything to do with the operation of a
K3 but it does have everything to do with receiving your K3 from
Elecraft and if you will be required to be there to accept delivery of
the package. Some of us still work and don't have the luxury of being
retired and home all day waiting for UPS to show up. I see people
posting stuff to this forum all the time that doesn't have anything to
do with the operation of a K3 and nothing every gets said about that
stuff.

Let's put this one to bed people. If you have a gripe or policy
question about Elecraft shipping take it where it belongs - the
telephone number is 831-662-8345.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 delivery require signature?
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.
