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

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

I'm lucky in that we own the hardware store in our small (4K) town and the UPS guy will leave an expensive package there if I'm not home. The XYL runs the store and is usually there when he delivers. I'm in sales and office at home so I may be there or halfway across the state. That said I am

When I called UPS they actually told me that a signature would be required and thankfully my wife offered to work from home and sign for it being that I had to be in the office that day... Working on schematic entry from home is a pain! On Mon, 2008-07-14 at 05:58 -0700, KB1PXD wrote: My wife
