Can't you go to the UPS site and turn off the signature requirement? They even have an app.

EL BROMANCE posted:Jesus loving christ, are you still raging about this? Yes, of course I am. Stop defending the indefensible. UPS left a notice on my door yesterday saying I could sign it and they'd leave it on their next attempt, which was today, and which they didn't do. Apparently the driver who left that notice was wrong. They won't be able to re-attempt until Monday, and I wouldn't be able to have it picked up from a UPS Store until Tuesday, so I just had them return it to Apple and re-ordered it for pickup from the local Apple Store (parking in that neighborhood on a Saturday is going to be a nightmare, it's too bad I couldn't just get it shipped to my home). It's easily the worst retail experience I've ever had, and people should know what they are getting into. And there'd be a lot less to rage over if morons weren't constantly acting like this is a totally normal thing I should've expected. It's not.

With all of the new Apple products I didn't pick this thread to have the best posts. I'm actually emailing Apple thanking them for requiring signature on delivery as a way to make sure nothing is stolen off of my completely secure porch  I still do not understand this sports app business. does it just use your mlb/nba/nhl streaming subscription logins?

It saves them from being defrauded by plenty of doorstep thieves who know what days Apple products ship to arrive. Also, in case it wasn't clear, it's specifically about inconveniencing sperglords like yourself.

wicka posted:It's a shameful business practice that does nothing but inconvenience me. Good. You seem like you need it. Real talk: having extremely expensive packages left on porches on one of the few most identifiable days of the year for delivery of expensive things (after the days surrounding Christmas) would be extremely dumb and Apple is 100% right to assume that you're not an idiot and would prefer that it only be left in the hands of an actual person.

Real talk: you can easily request that service if you want it. You cannot easily remove it when Apple forces it upon you. This is not at all difficult to understand, and hundreds of retailers do just fine without this requirement. If Apple let me change this through their app or UPS, I'd be fine with it, but taping a printed notice to my door is a ridiculous attempt at a solution to a problem they went out of their way to cause.

Maybe Apple presume there customers aren't so loving stupid to order electronic items to a place when they're not there, because they're such children it absolutely has to be waiting for them after vacation or whatever.

Are you seriously acting like getting a product shipped and delivered to your door is unusual? Millions of people do this every single day. wicka fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Sep 23, 2017 |

Then don't order and don't pay for it until such time as you calm down and print a piece of paper. Apple's shipping policies, and their signature mechanisms, are documented on their site and I suspect readily available from their support agents. Most people don't rupture an organ because they have to park in a busy place, so it's not likely something they're going to need to change in order to preserve their business.

You're acting like I'm insane for expecting the normal poo poo literally every other retailer does, what is your problem? If you want all your packages to require a signature, you can do that without Apple forcing that requirement on me as well. This is not difficult to understand in the slightest. And I've already explained, multiple times, that the store app says nothing about this signature requirement. I had no clue until the day before it was scheduled to arrive.

Apple doesn't give a poo poo if you want to sign for it or not. The signature is for Apple, not for you. If you don't like it, don't buy from them online, maybe? They're perfectly happy to not have your online business.

I don't know how many more times I can explain this: if you are worried about your packages getting stolen, you are fully capable of requesting that UPS require a signature. Forcing that choice on me only makes it harder to receive a product I paid good money for, at no benefit to me. And never in a million years am I going to tape a sign that says "APPLE PRODUCT BEING DELIVERED HERE TODAY" to my door, that's insanity.

Setup wifi deployment and installed Provenance on the 4K Apple TV. Works great, but some games do have some weird emulation issues with sound that I didn't have on the regular Apple TV.
