this is my theory. Most people ship through a fedex kinko's or UPS store. I think fedex has a policy of having their employees put adult signature required on every shipment they can, because they charge a dollar or two more. I always tell my customers to not require a signature, and they tell me after fedex didn't deliver that they specified no signature required, yet they still do.
Plus, what is the deal with having a Fedex driver, Fedex ground driver and Fedex home delivery driver?
For the most part, my ground and home drivers are awesome and know to just scribble my name on the slip and leave it, but when I get the odd fill in driver, it sucks.
For the guy complaining about the post office, you can also fill out a form that will allow your carrier to leave your packages. My carrier told me about it, but they couldn't find the form, so I just wrote a letter to my postmaster authorizing the carrier to sign for me, and now I never miss a USPS deliver.
As for my UPS drivers, I have about 3 or 4 of them, because my place is kind of between routes, but they all take very good care of me. Probably because they work directly for UPS and not independent contractors like Fedex, and I do all my shipping through UPS.
