Why Get a Product Signed For?
Signed Good Vs. Unsigned Goods
Items signed are sure of delivery while those that do not necessarily need signature will also be delivered but are less protected because of certain criteria from the station or the value of such items. Items are often prone to theft and the need for adult signatures at the delivery point. If you’re shipping pharmaceuticals or firearms, you are likely to receive mail with signatory notice before receipt.
