Signature for AARP gift cards over $500

[Bookworm1985]

This is for those of you that have ever ordered AARP gift cards over $500 when they require a signature for delivery. They have my name on them, but when they will be delivered, only my husband will be home. Will he be able to sign for them instead? I have a wonky work schedule.

I would think so, especially since they are being delivered to the house.  My teenager has signed for it before.  I recommend getting the UPS app on your phone, and you can add on a note that your husband can sign.

I already have it, and checked, but I did not see anyplace to add notes to that affect. They only had options of selecting where to put them or security codes.

I have the UPS app and it lets me defer signing for them at all.  I have ordered several $500 cards this way and never signed for them.

Yes, I have done that before too.

Sorry, I thought it gave a place for special instructions.  If you know your husband will be home, I am sure they would let him sign since it is at your address, but you could always just defer signing them, and they will leave them at the door.

I was debating on that, but I have $1300 in cards coming and thieves that like to take things from neighbors

Yes, you can definitely do that. But I prefer not to because if it goes missing, you have no recourse to get a replacement card. Instead, if I know that no one is going to be home, I opt to have it delivered to my local UPS store. Then I just swing by and pick it up on my way home from work.

I redirect mine to a ups store that’s on my way home from work. Pretty convenient.

My husband signed for mine.  No issues.

I'm going to try this.  We have construction going on therefore, no doorbell.

I have security cameras and a Ring doorbell.  I know when people are there before they even realize something might be on my porch.  i know it is not foolproof, but nothing has gone missing from my house, yet.

Ooh, this is a better idea.  Do you do that when you have a tracking number or before?

I did it in the UPS app. Sometimes it doesn't pop in there and I have to get the tracking number out of the email and type it in manually.

Thanks, Greg, I installed the app but I haven't gotten the tracking information yet, so this sounds like a good plan.  There is a UPS store right around the corner.

I've done it as late as...while it was out for delivery and they still diverted it...just didn't deliver until the next day.

Saint Greg you told me about this on another thread and I just had $1,300 in cards sent to me, and did change the delivery in my app to the UPS Store in my town.  It really saved me!  By the time I was done work that day, the cards were delivered to the store and I picked them up on my way home.  No worries that they would get there before my son was home from school, etc...  Thank you for this!!
