    Because if the delivery requires you to sign for it, the delivery driver will just walk up to your house and slap a “we missed you” sticker on your door and get right back in his truck without even attempting to deliver it. If they even bother getting out of the truck at all that is.

    We don’t have enough PTO time to take entire days off from work just so we can be home for a delivery that doesn’t show up over and over.

      I had that happen once, and it was a new laptop and I guess they were running late that day.

        Meanwhile I’ve had FedEx give me the “sorry we missed you” email as their truck is still speeding away from my house
