is this something new? My packages from Amazon both were placed under my sister names and mines. I was able to sign and accept my packages, but they said they would require my sister ID's and her signature also? Usually they would only require one person's signature, we both live under the same household.

These were packages bought from Amazon.com if that makes any difference....

There is an option where the sender can request that the package only be delivered to and signed by the person whose name is on the box.

But I don't believe Amazon ever uses that option.

It was some new guy, this guy I never seen deliver my amazon packages before. Anyway I asked amazon customer support and they told it was at the discreet of the deliverer. Also they were inexpensive items ranging from $10-$20.

I also called UPS's support number but they told me as long as the person that is signing the package lives under the same household, there shouldn't be a problem. Although this was the first time I was asked in person for ID when signing.

Anyone had this problem before?
 
I sign for my husband's packages whenever I have to, but I've never been asked for ID before from any shipping company when they deliver to my house-- just my name.

For small Amazon shipments, UPS typically just leaves those at our door without needing a signature or anything. Also, we have Prime if it makes a difference.

From the sounds of it, in your case it's probably just because you have a new delivery guy who is trying to do things the right way.
 
At this time of the year, the UPS/FedEx/USPS/whomever reps tend to be a bit more cautious about just dropping packages and running, with the increased amount of packages going around.

I'm sure it's a combination of the new guy + the time of the year that caused the issue.
 
Maybe its an overcautious delivery man? Have you had any problems with your neighbors' packages going astray?

One apartment complex I lived in, there were lots of problems with stolen packages, so the local mail and delivery men would refuse to release packages unless the person ordering them showed an ID and signed. The current home I live it, I've only had one UPS deliveryman want to see an ID and have me sign--but that was for a big ticket item (thousands of $$$s). The rest of the time, they either leave the packages or let another household member sign for them.
 
Actually had that happen to part of an order last week when I had a package sent to my brother's apartment(since I'm in the middle of moving). It was 2 dvds that were worth a total of $4.48. Weird to have UPS do that when I've seen Fedex & USPS leave packages at the doors. More than likely it was a new driver do the route too, as they use to knock & leave the package with the old driver.

Sounds like UPS is just being too cautious because of so many packages this time of the year.
 
I'm gonna rage a bit if I can't sign for my sister tomorrow lol. I was mad since I went for a lightning deal for the order right after she did hers! Apparently our packages got grouped together for this shipment!

I guess the UPS driver was about to leave, because he left a note at the door saying a signature + ID was required. I hope I can have my sister sign the paper slip so I can just sign for her when UPS redelivers the packages tomorrow.

Also I live in a pretty safe neighborhood...
 
Have you ever filed a complaint with Amazon (or UPS) stating that you didn't receive an order? If not I don't see why they would do that... It's not Amazon's style

but some companies are very strict. Take lenovo for instance; if you order anything from them, regardless if it cost $1 you will HAVE to sign for it. It makes sense though that they require an ID (if they are requiring a signature). I live with my girlfriend and of course we have different last names (I don't live in the South afterall) and she signs for my packages all the time.. I mean think about it for all the UPS guy knows it could just be a lurker waiting at that doorstep for the delivery man.
