    Will it require a signature for delivery or will they just leave the package?

    This is a real PIA since I should have gotten it after standing in line this morning.

    Definitely a signature, but it doesn't necessarily have to be yours. A spouse, your child or someone living there may be able to sign for it? I am not 100% positive of that. I know my wife has signed for stuff with my name on it before.

    It can be anyone, as long as it's a signature. I live in an apartment building and get packages all the time that require signature, and the doorman just signs for it.

    There will be NO one home next week.

    If I have a signature on file with Fed Ex will they leave it? I know I've signed a sheet before that says it's OK to leave packages w/o a signature.

    What if I leave a signed note that says to leave the package???

    I receive packages from FedEX all the time and am not home. I simply leave a note on the door with the tracking number, my name an signature releasing it. Thus far that has worked. In some locations that may not be safe.

    What I might suggest is once you get the tracking number, stop in at a Fed Ex location and see if they will just hold the package for you there until you get back or if you can show id, sign for it then, and have them make a note on the order to have the driver leave it without signature. I do know that if you do nothing, they will try to deliver 3 times and then will hold it at the Fed Ex center for a set number of business days and then it goes back to sender. I think itis maybe 10 business days after the 3rd try??

    Most courier companies will leave a package if you leave a note saying who you are, info about the pkg (tracking #), and that you are waiving your right to signature. Leave a note and hopefully you have a secure place for the pkg to be left and hope for the best. You'll either come home to:
    a) your storm waiting for you
    b) a note from the courier saying an attempt was made and please pickup from depot
    c) a stolen storm

    Once you get the tracking # get it switched to the store or as someone said, they will hold it.

    Abso-f-ing-lutely. If Verizon would have launched the phone correctly, they would have had enough stock on hand to at least cover the people waiting in line, which were not huge numbers by the way!

    FedEx & UPS all leave packages at my door without signature. Its a safe neighborhood but I don't like it. How do I get them to stop this practice?

    No, I never signed anything saying it was okay to do so. Maybe a previous home owner signed something years ago.

    Huh? They can't send it to you cause it's a global phone?? Are you sure you live on this planet? Maybe they can only ship it to earth.

    Only the shipper can change the destination. Not the recipient for fear of fraud.

    It's usually subjective based on the driver. I live in a private community with a private police force in suburban Long Island and they often leave packages, but depending on what kind of area you live in, they may not be willing to leave it even if you leave a not, so YMMV, even though it says ur responsible by leaving a note, if it gets stolen the driver can still get in trouble
