I recently had an issue with an AH not requiring signature confirmation on my item. The item was left outside and stolen. Very frustrating.

My fedex guy just leaves packages on the doorstep that should have needed a signature. Maybe he signs for me......

Spoke with the auction house today. I asked about their normal process, then agreed with that- to not cause a fuss or extra attention.

I did make sure to request a box for extra protection, just in case they were going to do an envelope/mailer.

Tracking info will be provided by them.

I am on very good terms with my USPS worker, and I'm home when they deliver.

I'll just park myself outside in a lawn chair when the day comes.

I will share an update in ~2 weeks.

Go onto the USPS Tracking site , put in your number , and re-fresh every 4 or 6 hours . Take Maalox for the new holes in your stomach lining. You can sleep after the card arrives safely . We've all been there .
