I bought a computer and monitor from newegg, totalling $1100. I am not going to be home when it is delivered and was wondering if my 16 year old son could sign off on the packages without any problem. Ups.com says "Signature required. At the request of the sender, UPS will obtain the recipient's signature. The sender will be provided a printed copy and may also view the recipient's signature online."


Thanks.

OP, I'm sorry people seem to have such an issue tonight. While I've seen this before with really obvious questions this doesn't seem like one of those.

I know you can't ship "adult" material through the mail anymore so I'm guessing anyone can sign for it. In the "olden days" you could ship alcohol and need to have someone 21+ sign for it. But you can't do that, so I'm guessing anyone can. Just have your kid do it, and tell him to act as adult as he can. It should be fine.


Nice "Is there a gay gene?" bookmark on that screenshot. LOL
 



LOL I missed that. 😱 That proves my point, even though I was joking.

Seriously, PCgamer, you will feel much better when you come out. I did. :lol:

Now, to be super serial...

Brian may have been asking someone to dig for him, he didnt say that you personally had to do anything for him, there are plenty of other people on the forum like myself who were perfectly willing to answer his question for him. You were the one that "just had" to come and show your ass.
 

My sexuality is no one's business but my own. You all act as if being gay is something shameful.

I am kind to people on this site and try to be as helpful as I can. But when someone comes on here asking questions in the Systems section of Tom's that has nothing to do with building a system, I find that wrong. There are plenty of people who need help with their computers, and all he needed was to go on the UPS site (as I demonstrated), or pick up a phone. Maybe I could have been a little more tactful in making that point, but I did try and be kind by keeping it in a joking way and even using a smiley face at one point.

LOL, I am a gay guy, completely out of the closet, and have been since I was 21, I'll be 27 in 2 months. I'm in a relationship for the past 3 years with the same guy, plan to marry him. That doesn't mean I don't have a sense of humor.

Again, Brian didn't do anything to you, you didn't have to post anything at all in this thread. His post whether it be out of laziness, off topic, out of place or genuine ability to not know how to find the information he needed is not a personal affront to you unless you choose to make it so.

I assumed he came to a tech forum asking people who have purchased from a very popular tech website about their policies who have experience with it they can relay. Seems like the question was appropriate here to me.

In all seriousness on the sexuality issue, I sincerely hope you aren't having issues with it, I've been there, its not a pretty place. Researching a gay gene in combination with the attitude to me is a genuine cause for concern. Maybe its just me, but personally, I'm not interested in whether I was "born this way" or "conditioned" to be so, it seems to me someone researching such things may be in distress about it.
 

I disagree. I find this section is for people who are building a system and/or have built a system and need technical advice.

Not someone who is curious about UPS's signature policy which could be ascertained by going on their website or picking up a phone.
 
Actually, I commented on that site a long time ago and forgot I had it bookmarked (which I assume was for the purpose of follow-up comments). You are welcome to read what I wrote.
