Been given differing advice for dealing with 'signed for' items. Can someone please clarify the correct procedure for these?
Was told all 'signed for' need to be signed by the addressee, but was then told its only those labelled 'Special Delivery' so which is it?
If I knock on a door with letter for 'Mrs Jones' and a woman answers do I need to request her ID? Do I do that for all signed for or just those with a 'Special Delivery' label?
Must admit I've answered the door and never been asked to confirm if I'm the person its addressed to. Only time I've been asked for ID is when collecting a special delivery, rest of the time handing over the card has been enough.
I'm confused

Procedure for 'signed for' items
No ID is required at the door even for Specials.
Signed for items and Tracked signature, need a name and signature of the person you give it to, it does not have to be the person named on the parcel.
Specials are treated the same as all other items needing signature except
1. They have a time limit on delivery.
2. You CANNOT leave them with a neighbour.

We need to intervene before it's too late, reducing working hours and the load carried by workers, because it's impossible to sustain the rhythm they're forced to work at for many years."

Brilliant thank you. So Ive been doing it right then as my coach described. Won’t be listening to any more advice from others as it’s only confusing me.TrueBlueTerrier wrote:No ID is required at the door even for Specials.
