[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 397134, member: 4653"] I believe Upstate is correct. I'm guessing the UPS software allows the shipper to add a note to each package they ship. If the "note" was put there by the center it would be a "note 4" and a "No DR allowed" prompt would appear as soon as you tried to DR the package. This shipper is trying to avoid the extra cost of "signature required" by putting this in the notes, and they would like to get a signature for their shipment but they don't want to pay for this level of service. I think these packages can be DR'ed without any reprecussions for the driver. If you are hesitant, however, there is a simple solution. Did you know there is an option in the DIAD to make a package "signature required'? This is a way for UPS to obtain its revenue from shippers who try sneak their way to a "42" when paying a "03". For example, a sig req. will have a "42" after the shipper # in its barcode and the shipper pays extra for this level of service. All other grounds have "03" after the shipper # and these don't require a signature. Some shippers that want a signature and don't want to pay the premium for the service will put the "sig req." stickers on the box or print "No DR" in the address label. As a driver you have two options. You can DR the package or you can choose "package info" from the DIAD menu. Next you can choose "signature required" or "adult signature require". When you choose one of these the package now becomes signature required. The DIAD will not let you release them without a signature and the shipper will be charged accordingly. Its a way for UPS to get the revenue it deserves from shippers trying to sneak a service from them at no charge. I hardly use this option but have from time to time. Anyone else here ever use it?
