i'm a driver so i sign for stuff all the time when the resident is not there, but that is something that has been discussed by me and the customer. The only reason for that is b/c him or her not being at home when i deliver and that is the ONLY reason for me signing for it and leaving it somewhere where they can find it. But we have so many delivery options in our board etc. garage, fence, front door, at gate, under bush, behind bush and so on. It sounds a lil fisshy to me...
