In the midst of present buying and I ordered a couple of things.......An ipod that cost near £200 (That was a gift I was ordering on behalf of someone, not a gift I was buying myself) and the 1st 3 twilight books that cost a grand total of £10
Amazon sent the expensive electronic equipment 2nd class through the public post without the need for signature yet the crappy £10 books are so valuable that they are sent via courier..........What the hell?
Also I would like to apologise in advance for contributing money to the from what I know, Twilight movement........However I'm positive it will ensure I'm in my sisters goodbooks for quite some time so ;D

One time I got some pamphlets for pantomime shows at the Bristol Hippodrome that I had to sign for. Here's the funny thing, I've never given my address to them, I haven't been to a theater since I was eight and watched the golden goose and it was a recorded delivery for freaking pamphlets and I also have a post box that locks itself and they still gave me a damn red slip. So I had to go down to the post depot to see what the heck this thing was and you can imagine my rage when it turned out to be junk mail. Still not as bad as Royal Mail leaving my copies of Batman Dark Victory and Justice V.1 in the rain by my bins with out even giving me a red slip so I could tell where they put them. I just found them by accident one day whilst it was raining, completely ruined. They'd been out there for about two days in the rain.  So yea, I share your pain about couriers and the post system. -_- |

Eh they didn't really hose me, fortunately I was off and by coincidence that was the day the courier came with the books I mean I got both products, I'm just baffled as to the decision making process they apparently have in place Just a wee mini-rant I had to get off my chest I also have one regarding a bowling alley version of the Montreal screwjob that I suffered recently but its late and I'll post that tomorrow  |

Weird. I've never signed for anything from amazon. I've ordered quite a few new video games and the 120 GB HD for the 360.
club.bing has you sign for a ton of stuff and they get a little weird. Like I had to sign for a copy of Too Human that only took me three days to get points for and the three keyboard/mice sets I got... but the one that just came didn't require a signature, and it's a more expensive model than the other ones.
My last house was out in the country, and if noone was home, they just left crap there. In fact, they left stuff for our neighbors there that was sign only, because the UPS driver knew our house and was too lazy to go to another up the lane. The woman was pretty pissed, apparently in the order was some jewelry from JC Penney worth a few hundred bucks. (She was on the phone while I talked briefly to her husband.)
My friend who lived nearby was the same way. Although with him, they just hated his driveway. It's up hill to pull in, bad view to pull out and legally you can't back out onto it as it's on a US Highway.
Oh, at our new house, we have a car port which is pretty much just high enough for an SUV. So the first time a UPS guy stopped off with my sister's computer, he didn't give me the sheet to sign. I asked for it and he got pissed and said about parking. I look at the window and he's parked on the State Route and our house has a fairly bad view from a curve on one side about a hundred feet and a bridge a hundred feet or so on the other. After he signed, I said "dude, you can park in the parking lot next door." Our neighbor's house is zoned residential with a business garage attached to the side. Plus, part of the parking lot is owned by the city for temporarily storing water/power/snow trucks. They've been parking there since.

My brother ordered a laptop and the mail man stuck between the screen door and the house door that faces the ally. Yet, I had to sign for a $10.00 Nightmare Before Christmas mug.
