WOW, that grandma could get a job in the circus.What if the consignee looked like your avatar? Care to rethink that?
what, dress up in swat?It's already a Code 4, signature required. Excuse me while I do my job.
When doing a followup, i will ask what hours they will be home if they deny receiving the pkg.Then i inform them the police will be visiting to investigate a theft. This has worked a few times on people to find there missing pkg!Some of our Venders are retired cops. We had one in particular pull out his badge a few Peaks ago when a lady was trying to pull a denial of signature. She suddenly remembered signing for all 4 packages as soon as she saw his badge. Miracle? lol
It's a signature only stop, but it didn't stop her (the daughter) from trying to deny signing and getting her package. I always get an ID and write their license number in the remarks box. No way they can deny it's them.
Sorry, but I actually do care whether or not they come back Positive or Negative. I don't like seeing people blatantly rip our company off.
We are supposed to ask for photo ID when delivering A8's.Again, this story is not one of your better efforts.
You have no right to ask for their ID or write their license number in the remarks. The only time I can remember being directed to ask for photo ID is when we delivered tickets to the Woodstock concert.
We are only supposed to ask for ID if the consignee does not appear to be of legal age.

Since getting back on my trip I've been getting a lot of DFU's from the guy that covered for me during Peak. No biggie. I expected as much. It would've happened if I was on it as well, so it's not his fault. The people in the area are just scumbags.
Today I had a Denial of Signature DFU. I noticed the address and knew right away that the people that live there are dirtbags. They use bed sheets as curtains, leave trash all over their steps, and they're always arguing whenever I go there. Was not surprised that they were denying a signature. Probably thought they could get over on our "new guy".
I saved the stop for almost dead last. I had an Over 70 Call tag to hit after the tracer, and then I was finished. I parked on the corner, and walked around to the house. When I knocked a kid answered the door. I told him I needed to speak with Mrs. Brown. (Oh the irony. What can this Brown do for me?) He turned around and yelled "GRANDMA!" Now a few other kids came to the door to see who was there, and then their Grandma finally approached. She seemed pretty nice, and actually invited me in and out of the cold. I explained that I was there doing a follow-up on a package that was delivered in December, and that we obtained a signature when we delivered it. I showed her the signature, and she said "That's my daughter." I asked her "Are you [Name on DFU]?" and she said "yes". She tells me that she got the package, the items (points to them on the table), and that her daughter had signed for the package. I showed her where to sign off on the DFU, and just as I'm leaving her daughter walks up the steps and sees me. First thing out of her mouth is "I aint got my package yet! You owes me my money back!". I didn't even have to say a word. Grandma took over and said "What? We got the package. It's right there!" (points to it), and then says "Stop wasting this guys time. You're not getting your money back". Haha! Grandma saved the day. She busted her own daughter on trying to scam us. Some days I love seeing people stand-up for what's right. Tonight she made my day.
I have an identical story from years ago only it was the young child that ratted out his welfare-scamming mother. Kid answers the door (in the middle of the ghetto no less - I've threatened to break my daughters hands if they ever answer the door and I live in a nice neighborhood), and down the stairs comes mom about 45 seconds later. I present her with the follow-up, explain to her what the items in question are. Before she can even think of a lie, the kid goes "oh yeah, we got that mom, remember"? I couldn't help myself and replied "yeah, that's precisely what I was thinking, sign here..."
Thieves, man...
Another moral ... he was forgiven.I got your beat, I had a pastor say that he never received his diamond crucifix. It was a high value, sig req. I walked into the rectory, into his office, got his Signature. 4 weeks later i get a follow up, read description seeing it was a black crucifix with a diamond in the middle. Pastor says, I never got it. I look down at his chest, and there is the thing hanging. I said you have some nerve to lie being a pastor. He wouldn't sign it, so I called LP, as well as a friend of mine who was on the local police force. Next day, LP, the police officer, and I show up and what do you know, He found the cross that was around his freaking neck.
Moral of the story, no one can be trusted.
Another moral ...he was forgiven.
Another moral ... he went to FedEx.
