Wow! That's a first for me. I'm glad you still received the card.

Seeing as my mailman apparently hides in a hedge and waits for me to leave my residence before ringing my doorbell every time I have a signature required package, I'd kill for that type of service.

My mail carrier doesn't even bother to try, ever. A signature required package is an automatic slip in the mailbox and a run to the Post Office for me.

I would be happy if my mailman would sign for me. He is a great guy and I definitely trust him and his ethics. Would sabe me a trip to the post office. With that said, I am sure he wouldn't do that as he always goes by the rules. We live in a gated area so the chances of theft are pretty small.

My mailman for the past 8 years, Terry, is a contract carrier who is awesome. He leaves the package AND the slip for me to sign. I just leave it in my box for the next day. He also has paid postage due for me and left me a post-it with the amount. He earns a big tip on the holidays!

We always tip Isaiah for Christmas and if something is postage due, he leaves a note stating how much and we leave it in the box for him. Sometimes he takes the amount and sometimes he doesn't. He is awesome.

hell, my postman didn't bother ringing my bell when i had signature required cards delivered. i watched him through my window never making an effort to ring bell or knock on the door. i went out and confronted him (after he walked across my lawn) and he claimed he pressed the bell and knocked on the door...he's a d&*k and i complained about him for not doing his job and walking across my lawn.

UPS Store mailbox......they're always there and sign for everything from every carrier and it's a street address. Not cheap but worth the $15/mo if you get a lot. You can also call and check if you have mail. Can't do that at the P.O. On a P.O. Box.

I once saw my mail man throw a box on my porch as I was walking to the door. He was shocked when I opened the door and asked him why he threw the box.
