I bought a two things from Koolance and they shipped them with a signature required. I can understand their point of view but that is a major inconvenience to me, and will cost me more money and time to drive to the UPS distribution center to pick it up.
I've known Evga to require signature on delivery but no other retailer I've shopped at requires it. I avoid places that do and Koolance just made the list. Does delivery confirmation provide the same protection for them? There is some risk but they risk of losing business by requiring this damn signature.
I guess they expect you to take a day off of work so you can wait for the package to arrive safely, all while you are losing potential time/money. I was really looking forward to messing with that stuff tomorrow, but I won't be able to for a few days now, and it's going to cost me more time and money than I anticipated. It really pisses me off.
I'd probably pay just a bit extra not to have this inconvenience, like a personal package insurance policy.
What do you guys think? Does it affect your decision whether to buy from that retailer or not?
