Thanks for the feedback, Raphie



I'd also note that it saves you from those dreaded days when a new iPhone or similarly expensive device is going to be left sitting on your doorstep while you're at work...


UPS/Fedex take all the risk when they do that. The driver is taking the chance in order to clear his truck. Unless you authorize it with a signed note, they should not do that. They don't do it in SF or NYC since your doorstep is the street.


Sadly, I've had plenty of items left at my doorstep even when a signature was required. (in NY)


We've heard (and experienced) way too many horror stories of packages stolen off NYC doorsteps. Check out Parcel: http://fromparcel.com.


Is this true even for packages where the sender specified no signature was required?


Yes, you should have the seller file an insurance claim if it goes missing.


This. This is the biggest issue in my mind. I would most definitely pay $7 to make sure they don't just leave my $700 new tech on my front step in full view exposed to the elements.
