Fedex very casually leave boxes on my doorstep, never asks for a signature.

| That is not correct. At the bottom and on the right of my FedEx Express
USA
| Airbill paperwork there is the last optional it number 8 which reads:
|
| Release Signature Sign to authorize deliver without obtaining
| signature
|
| By signing you authorize us to deliver this shipment without
| obtaining a signature
| and agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any resulting
claims.
|
| Now FedEx may or may not have different rules for its ground service, I
| don't know. And individual carriers out there might be renegade if no
one's
| brought them to task for prior transgressions, but that company's policy
is
| not to leave packages unattended without a signature.
|
| I'm sure Mike M. can fill us in on the details.
