  Some services now send a one-time code to the customers that they have to give to the delivery guy to confirm the item as received instead of a signature.

      See if you have a microcenter near you. Not sure about delivery though, but I love that place.

      I have used B&H for stuff whenever possible for the past few years. Less selection of general tech, but I have been flawlessly happy with the service, returns, shipping, etc.

  then you gain the extra potential illegal action due to forgery. so its a game of risk management for the drivers.

      Cops and city government are more interested in giving people tickets than they are of solving crime. Implement a new theft enforcement team that takes complaints online with porch video attachments and goes after porch pirates? No … they dont have the resources.

      Put in more traffic cameras to catch speeders and red light runners? Oh yeah, get those criminals.

  I’m sorry, but that’s a dumb argument. The presence of a signature doesn’t imply you accepted a shipment. Even if you know my name, you have no idea how I sign it. It’s trivial to prove a forged signature doesn’t match the one on my license, credit card, lease, etc…

    Plenty of companies don’t actually check signatures these days.

      What does this even mean? Who would “check”, and why? It makes no sense. If someone says I signed for a delivery or agreed to a contract, I guess they’d confirm the existence of a signature before filing it away, if that’s what you mean… But again, if it wasn’t me, I could easily prove that signature doesn’t match my past signatures and dispute it with my bank or in court. To reiterate: a random delivery person won’t know what my signature looks like.

        When you sign for something, they’re supposed to verify your signature against the signature on your ID, credit/debit card, etc. Companies have gotten lazy about this, though. For example, the last time a store asked to see the signature on the back of my credit card was maybe 10 years ago?
