Call the 800 # and you would get a message to go back and pick it up.What would a customer do if they wanted to refuse a package I DR'ed?
I was thinking for the times I'm not using 1/2/4/5.Give it back to you. It can't have been opened tho! Re-sheet as refused.

I always take them back after making sure they were never opened. Plus it adds one cake stop to the stop count.
How can you tell though? Even just having worked seasonal, many boxes came open in the truck. Sometimes due to mishandling and sometimes due to gummed tape that didn't get wetted right. Even if the box opens and everything comes out, driver puts them back in and tape it back up.
If I come home and find a box on my porch that was sealed with pilfer proof tape by shipper, but obviously got retaped along the way, that would be a reason to refuse it. If I'm going to lose the ability to refuse it by inspecting, I'm going to refuse it without opening it myself to be on the safe side.
You got a year before you have to worry about refused packages. If you last that long,if you get rehired.....if,if,if.How can you tell though?

Even if the box opens and everything comes out, driver puts them back in and tape it back up.
Arriving looking like it obviously got opened in transit is one of the main reasons for me to refuse a package.

They sometimes say "inspect before acceptance" but you don't get that chance with a left-at packages.

My boss says is everyday. He is always saying corporate is sheeting all over him.I like the "Re-sheet" !! How many of us still use that term? Ahhhhh! A nostalgic walk down memory lane....
Now that's funny!My boss says is everyday. He is always saying corporate is sheeting all over him.
If it's something like Joe Schmo re-using an Amazon box to sell something on eBay, it might be hard to tell if it's been re-taped. The weight of the box would be a good clue as to whether or not anything's missing.
And if the shipper gets it back and finds out there is something missing, they can take that up with their customer by not providing a refund or whatever. Or they can file a claim, which UPS will deny on the grounds that they shouldn't have sent something to an address that can be DR'ed to
If the pkg looks like it has been opened or otherwise tampered with I will politely explain that I cannot pick it up as a refusal and will explain the procedure at that point. If the pkg is intact I will piick it up and RTS per the methods.
Don't touch, leave area, notify supe......comes to mind.
Guess I'm too new here for people to know I'm full of sarcasm.This has nothing to do with whether or not the address in question is a good DR--it is about a package that has been DR'd and subsequently refused by the consignee.
This is just one of the many things the clerks do is handle things like open boxes.I didn't mean the items inside breaking and leaking. I was referring to something like a box containing 144 pens. It comes open in the truck, contents spill out. In what I observed, the driver picked up contents, taped up and delivered.
Is that what happens in the real world, except where I am? or do they get taped back up and delivered like I've observed?This is just one of the many things the clerks do is handle things like open boxes.
