I go out of my way to avoid Signature Required Deliveries but sometimes they happen. A couple of weeks ago, I was home sick. The wife was in the Florida Room doing Laundry 10 feet from the front door. I checked and the package showed a scan as if there was nobody home. It was timed, by coincidence, 8 minutes earlier than I checked. I dragged my wheezing butt over to the boxes. There was an Orange Slip in my box and the carrier was still putting mail in the boxes. It sounds like a little thing but I work about 45 minutes from the local Post Office. It is a pain to go and retrieve a package. (The wife no longer drives).
