[QUOTE="soberups, post: 515909, member: 14668"] The one word to remember here is "reasonable". I will wait a "reasonable" amount of time, and the definition of "reasonable" will vary from stop to stop according to the nature of the business and the reason for the delay. It is not "reasonable" to expect me to wait in line, and it is not "reasonable" to expect me to stand there for 5 minutes while the consignee has a personal conversation on the phone. Every minute I spend standing there is a minute that my [I]other[/I] customers are having to wait for their package. Probably the most difficult delivery to make is to a construction site. No one wants to sign for anything, and the one guy who is "authorized" is up on a ladder someplace and you wind up hiking around in the mud for 10 minutes looking for him. Inevitably I wind up having to sheet a few of these as refused and send them back. I will make an effort the first time to find someone and set up a designated recieving spot with signed notices, but I refuse to wander around a 2 acre constrction site for 10 minutes begging for a signature day after day.
