UPS Man Takes iPad Mini Just Delivered by FedEx

That's been ny experience, too. Nothing stolen yet, including a huge box left outside with my husband's new PC. I was home all day and found it only on leaving the house. But I never sign releases allowing any carrier to just leave stuff, so I figure it's their risk, not mine.

With the second iPad 4 that I ordered, UPS left two slips for missed deliveries. I didn't sign anything, and they just left it on the doorstep on the third attempt.

If a signature is required on delivery and they just leave the package, does UPS have to replace it if it goes missing and isn't found?

That's what I'd expect. Otherwise, what's the point of them having you sign?

Also, if they charge extra for signature on delivery and don't get one, that would be a breach of contract. I would think that the sender would be owed a refund of the cost paid for requiring a signature on delivery.

Yes, I would expect the carrier to eat the cost if stolen.
