MotoWheels: I'm DONE with them.

Nothing against either carrier but I find it interesting that UPS can and will deliver several CASES of firearm ammunition on my doorstep and walk away (literally hundreds to thousands of rounds!) but they cannot leave a mailordered box of cigars! The cigars are treated like a controlled substance and must be signed for but who cares if two hundred pounds of rifle, shotgun and pistol ammo is sitting on the doorstep all day! I'm sure it's some weird gov't. reg and not theirs. Just funny...

If FedEx can't deliver you can always pick up the package at their drop center after 5pm the same day for free.  Its what I always do if I'm not home for my package, which I usually am not.  I always ask for signature just due to not wanting them to drop things on the doorstep.  Its not so much worry about someone running off with it, its just the peace of mind that I will always 100% get my item and always have a definate paper trail on where it is.

Well, I slid out of work early and went down to the FedEx truck terminal.
The box was waiting for me -set aside in a safe spot in the back.
I spoke to the shift supervisor, a driver, and the manager there -just to make sure I got the straight scoop.

They checked -This was requested by the shipper. 

There is no requirement to have an IN PERSON signature from Fedex for regular packages. 
Insured or not -no requirement.  Online shipping or not -no requirement.

If the shipper chooses  a signature requirement (completely optional), there are two "levels":
1) Signature required, but the recipient can sign the delivery attempt notice, leave it on the door, and the delivery dude will
leave the package on the next regularly scheduled delivery day.
2) Signature In Person required.  ONLY the person being shipped to can sign for the package.  Identification is required.
There is no waiving the option to be there, as with option #1.

"Level #2" is what MotoWheels required when they shipped some muffler pipes.

Not a controlled substance, not a firearm, not an alcohol or tobacco product...
Muffler pipe.


Friday afternoon I'll be shopping online for some accessories.
I'll shop where it will get shipped to me with no issue!

Credit card companies require that for internet purchases, when the items are delivered, the cardholder must sign in their name and other names like roommates or family members do not count. Without the cardholder's own signature, it is not counted as delivered.

Hmmmm.... that seems to clear it all up.

I order tons of shit online from everyone... Motowheels, 58 Cycle parts, Pro Italia, Ferracci, Chaparral, Dennis Kirk, Oncycle, Competition Accessories, etc. and the only thing I have ever had to sign for in years and years of ordering stuff is a Graves Motorsport license plate relocator bracket that was ordered through Kneedraggers and dropped shipped from Graves. Graves sent it DHL and it required a sig. The one and only time anything has ever been delivered by DHL and it was Graves that requested the sig. Never before, regardless of Akrapovic exhausts to Ohlins shocks and steering dampers (none of which are cheap) has anyone ever asked for a sig except Graves.
