I'm wondering if direct signature will be required considering Covid. This is from the FedEx website dated 8-21-21:
Signature suspension notification
To help promote the safety of our employees and customers, FedEx signature guidelines are being temporarily adjusted for allshipments, with the exception of adult signature required (ASR) shipments. In efforts to minimize physical interactions, customers may be asked to verify recipient name in lieu of a physical signature. FedEx is still collecting recipient information; therefore, surcharges for these services will continue to be assessed. For shipments with the adult signature service option selected, couriers will still request a physical signature and require a government-issued photo ID.2 The safety and well-being of our 475,000 team members is our top priority as they continue to deliver critical goods and services to support communities across the globe.
Does anyone have recent experience with FedEx and signatures?
