Not able to "sign for"

Post by fng »

Just out of interest :nervous If a signature is required but the person is blind or almost blind and cannot sign the docket, what happens then ? Assuming there is no official letter back at the office stating that the person is blind and the postie can sign or signature not required etc. :hmmmm

It happened to a friend of mine :nervous the other day. My friend asked for the guys (or gals :nervous ) surname and put that in both boxes on the sheet, after asking the guy if that was ok with him. :whistle

You sign for it yourself and put the initialls DNS in as the name, stands for Delivered No Signature, its allowed for any person who has a disability which prevents them for signing for the item

Does "not being in" count as a disability :chuckle
