So all in all, I am super pleased with BCM. Great prices, fast shipping, etc. The only thing that grinds my gears is how on every order they ship, they opt for signature confirmation. I understand it if you were to order a lot of high dollar merchandise but when I have only $60 of stuff and live in a secure apartment with only 3 others, it makes it very annoying. Especially since my mail person doesn't believe in me signing a sheet of paper telling him/her to leave it here.
Perhaps leaving an option for it when you order is possible? A box to check saying yes/no. Any input? |
| BCM normally ships UPS. Register online for UPS My Choice and you can give authorization to leave the package at a location of your choosing (door, porch, mailbox, etc.) WITHOUT a signature. This is what I did with both of my BCM upper receiver groups that I ordered a few months ago. I believe UPS calls it a "Signature Release" on UPS My Choice. Good luck! |

I think it has a lot to do with the carrier. My usps guy often just signs for me, but I give him a present for Christmas each year. The lady who fills in on his day off doesn't even bring packages out if they are even slightly big - she just leaves an attempted delivery card even though I am right inside.
I got a bravo upper the other day. No signature required. I got 2 the week before and it was adult signature required. Maybe value based? Although the carrier just marked it with my name as he knows me and didn't actually sign. I am sure if I wasn't there he would have done the same and just left them as I live in a safe area. Early this summer I got a package and they actually called to confirm I ordered it as I was shipping to a different address than my billing address. I am sure it is part carrier and part some complicated algorithm that helps eliminate risk. |
