Is there really concern SIGNING for a package?
      #110249 - 10/25/03 10:21 PM

This kinda worries me. I have had a couple packages (containing Ultram) coming from Thailand (and obviously so) they got here fine, pretty pain free (pun intended) but I did have to sign for them.

Is there really a reason to worry about signing for a package? (came USPS) Forgive my lack of knowledge but I just never thought about that.

Input?

Thanks.

I notice that some around here do worry about it But there is not really a reason to. Basically, by signing the package, its the equivalent of being videotaped breaking a law. There's no argument anymore about who received the package or ya-da-ya. So IF it ever does come to a court case, and it involved a package that you signed, then there is NO WAY IN HELL you're getting off. If, however, the package wasn't signed, and maybe just placed in your mailbox, you could claim all kinds of stuff. Hell, you could say your neighbor stole your Best if kept off the board package for all they know. So that's why. Only worry about signing if you think you're going to be charged with something anyway. But remember--- investigations can take years. Something you signed for four years ago could come back to haunt you. However, personally, I sign a million packages. My signature is so unintelligible, it doesn't seem to matter anyway.

There is nothing to be concerned about. If you sign for a letter or package you are acknowledging it was received at the address listed. The person to sign does not have to be the one whose name appears on the package. I've signed for many packages and letters for people at work,
and many others without knowing what was inside. If the package contains drugs, and nothing else, then there is no way to prove it has anything to do with you. It could have been ordered by anyone, anywhere, and simply sent to you by mistake. If it does not contain an invoice, there is nothing to tie you to it. Relax...

Only if a law enforcement official is delivering it, really.

Not to try to spook anyone this close to Halloween, but I've seen that happen where I live before. It did involve something different then the meds that we get through OP's, but its just a matter of time I believe before it happens with some of these no records needed pharmacies. I hate to be pesimistic, but I firmly believe that one day someones friendly fedex man will be your friendly John Q. DEA. I hope that I dont hurt anyones feelings with that, but thats what I believe. This is one of the main reasons that we need to support of OP's that require current records.

You're right. That's a willing acknowledgement of a controlled delivery. FYI.

Well damnitalltohell! I do what I gotta do but I sure hpoe it never comes back to bite me in the arse. I just ordered some Ultram which *seems* be be not all that "controlled" but I haven't put much thought into it.
I guess I'll just cross my fingers.

Thanks for the replies!
