Those that won't be home

---

Hi. I am a contractor for Fedex. Just wanted to give you guys that won't be home a couple tips to still get your package. Number one. These packages are being shipped with direct signatures I'm assuming. What this means is someone has to be at the address on the package to sign for it. It cannot be delivered to alternate addresses. ie "please deliver my package next door". The are not allowed to do this. But, the good thing is that it just has to be somebody at your address. If it's a friend, neighbor, relative. Doesn't matter. They can sign for it. If you know nobody will be there contact your local Fedex terminal. These are going express, do not contact Fedex Ground or Fedex Home Delivery. Wrong company. Anyway, contact your local terminal and tell them you have a package with such and such tracking number and you would like them to hold it. Ask them what the hours to pick up a package held are and go pick it up within those times. Make sure you bring a valid id and your tracking number. Veolia, N1 in hand. Hope this helps. BTW. If your package is not in your hands in 3 business days because you are not home it will be shipped back.

nope my fedex order said indirect signature required, meaning I could have just left a fedex door tag authorizing them to leave the package at the door and they would have left it (thats what it said on the site).

thanks for the info. i hope we have a snow day tomorrow so i WILL be home (but also that the roads arent bad enough that it stops them from coming...)

anyways mine is also INDIRECT - " Standard Overnight - Indirect " so i could have them deliver it next door...hmm. and if i am not home to get the package tomorrow then i'll be picking it up tomorrow night no matter how bad the weather is.

i am thinking of coming down with a case of the dontwannagointoworkbecauseakillerphoneisbeingshipp edtome disorder tomorrow.

I've got it too, it's spreading.. *cough*

Sweet. Even better then. We deliver a lot of phones for Brightpoint and those are direct sign so I assumed these would be the same. Guess not. Well that makes things a whole lot easier then. Sign the tag and make sure to leave it on the door it was left on for the next day and all will be well. Also, if you guys don't want your phone left outside leave a little note where to leave it. I cannot speak for all drivers, but I would try to leave it somewhere out of view. When you sign that tag it puts full responsibility of the phone in your hands. You are saying that it is okay to leave it and if it's not there Fedex is not responsible for it. Anyway, I hope this helps those that were wondering.
