You can plan ahead by tracking when your shipment will be delivered. You can leave a note for your driver asking him/her to leave your shipment in a safe designated place if no signature is required. If a signature is required, you can leave a note and have the shipment delivered to a neighbor who will be available to sign for th package. If you are unavailable to receive your package on the first attempt, UPS will leave USP InfoNotice on your front door. On the reverse side of the InfoNotice, you will find the "Signature release waiver". Fill it out and they will follow your instructions on their next delivery attempt. You can reschedule the delivery date, arrange to pick up your shipment at a UPS facility by calling 1-800-PICK-UPS (742-5877).
