To pre-sign or not to pre-sign...

that is the question.
Granted, the terms and conditions are very straight forward in stating a complete write-off of ALL responsibility (see below)...has anyone done this before and what is your recommendation/experience? Seeing as I will likely be at work and work 10+ hour days I also miss the time windows to go in directly to fedex to pick up a missed delivery. And no, I don't have any reliable way of having someone else (even a neighbor) sign on my behalf. Thanks.
Terms and Conditions
I understand that Apple requires signatures acknowledging receipt of delivered goods. By signing the Shipment Release Authorization form, I hereby authorize Apple's carrier to leave my package at the address I have specified for delivery when placing my order. I understand that, in so doing, I assume the risk of any loss, theft, or destruction, and release Apple and its carriers from all liability that may result from, leaving the package where I have indicated on the Shipment Release Authorization form.

I pre-signed for mine since it came a day early. But I work about 15 mins away and called fedex every hour (this was launch delivery time). It came about 10 mins before my hourly fedex call so I drove home to get it. I'm in a very safe area but no way would I leave it for very long - just too tempting. Your other option is to call FedEx and ask them to hold it at your closest pickup point (our distribution center is very close) so you don't have to worry about it. Then you can go pick it up. You can also pre-sign but have them leave it with a neighbor you trust vs at your door.
Bottom line, will you be ****** if it gets stolen? If yes, don't pre-sign and arrange to pick it up at FedEx.

  • Since last software update, pre-paid internet does not work anymore. Get "you have not signed up for a data plan" message. Pre-paid acct is in order! What's up???

    I have had  an iPad 3G for more than a year now. I did not get it with a SIM card, since I expected to use almost completely at home, where we have wireless internet. Eventually, I decided  it would be handy to be able to take it on the road, and signed up for pre-paid Internet with KPN (national Dutch telecommunications company). That worked fine, until the last big iPad software update. Since then, whenever I try to make a connection outside the house, I get the following message…
    Mobile Data Account
    You have not signed up for a data plan.
    Would you like to set up a new account?
    If you don’t, you can do it later in Settings.
    …with the options of ‘Later’ or ‘Now’ to press. If I press Now, I get a screen “Please wait while the page is loading – this should only take a few seconds to complete.” But it never does, the ball just keeps spinning and spinning and spinning….
    To my mind, with pre-paid internet I should not HAVE to set up a Mobile Data Account in the first place. I’ve checked with KPN, and my account is completely in order. I’ve checked with the local Apple store, and the geniuses say they’ve never seen this. Can anyone help me?

    I updated to 3.6.4 and when I went to NetFlix to watch the next show of a series, it said
    something like
    Installation complete, restart your browser.
    I restarted browser, same problem. Restarted comp. Same problem.
    I updated Adobe Flash 10.1, still same problem.
    But able to watch some vids on other sites, but full screen gave me the big blank white screen with audio only, had to click around in the dark ( so to speak) to find the minimize button.
    I did a System Restore to before the Firefox and Adobe updates.
    I then did not update Firefox as recommended and went to NetFlix and wellah, i can view the movies again.
    And Full Screen is fine.
    I then experimented and updated Firefox only, went to NetFlix and got same msg with no viewable shows.
    So did a System Restore once more.
    Staying at 3.6.3 for a while longer until I know I can watch my movies.
    I don't own a TV, so this is my only form of an occasional escape.
    I do hope this is figured out soon.
    With what I have done, it seems to be Firefox, Not Flash.
    Good Luck to us all.

  • Got a new Mac Book Pro for school. Go to update all the hardware and software do not have any problems until i get to "iMovie" and "iPhoto" (they came pre-loaded) and i get "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." help

    Does any one know how to fix this problem?

    Should be the account you registered your mac with, and/or the account you used during the setup assistant.

  • HT4710 To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it. It was pre-installed, how do I get past this message and update the software?

    The the account you used to "purchase" iPhoto is the Apple ID you used to set yoru couputer up with - log into th eApp store using that Apple ID and look under purchases - if you have not accepted the App yet then you will have to accept it first

  • Problems signing in to PSE/PRE Forum and Customer Service

    Hello-I am presently  running PSE/PRE8 on a win8 computer with 12GB memory and1TB HDD. I am searching for information on PSE/PRE12. However, I am having problems with my PW/ID. I understand that Photoshop.com has been eliminated and this is the source of my sign-in problem. I change my PW and the new PW works for a while and it becomes the incorrect PW or User ID. Also,I added a new email address to support email problems. I was sent an email to click a verify link but the link was not included and the email was a noreply. I cannot contact Customer Service because it is sending noreply emails. I was able to signin to the forum during my last visit but was told that I was not eligible to post messages not answer post. I need to be able to reach Customer Service but I  preently do not have a method to contact  it. Thanks.

    Hello Jorma- Thanks for the response however,I cannot locate your response to my "Problems signing in to pse/pre forum and customer Service". I checked the Photoshop Elements forum but I was not able to locate the subject.

  • Is there no pre-sign button on the Apple Watch shipping notification

    I have received the shipping notification email from Apple. It says  the shipment requires a signature. The usual "Pre-sign for this shipment"  button is missing. Is there no way to leave a signature for UPS delivery of an APPLE WATCH?  I have always  been able to do that with iPhone and iPad UPS deliveries.  This is a major hiccup.

    jeaton34 wrote:
    I contacted Apple through the online live chat this morning, and the representative e-mailed me a copy of the pre-sign agreement for my watch order.
    I just did a chat and got the following. So no pre-signing for me.
    Because the Apple Watch is highly sought out, a signature is required. If you're not home when the courier attempts delivery, they'll leave a note on the door, and you can mention on the back of that note if you'd like them to leave the pakcage in a specific place!

  • Is sign/pre-signing for your device necessary?

    Hi, I'm an American living overseas and I recently bought an ipod online. The ipod will be shipped to a forwarding address in the U.S. The problem is that I can't sign or pre-sign for the delivery. Is there anything else I can do? Thanks.

    That would be between you and the parcel carrier. If you ordered from the online Apple Store, it is possible for normal shipments to pre-sign for an order:
    http://store.apple.com/us/help/shipping_delivery
    but Apple does not ship to freight forwarders and most forwarders will not accept such forms, so that's probably not an option for you. As JEM24 suggested, it would be best if you can have the iPod shipped to a friend or relative in the US who can then resend it to you.
    Regards.

  • Pre-populate Portal sign-on screen

    Is there a way to pre-populate the portal sign-on screen with user-id and password ? We are in the process of migrating users to SAP portal, and are looking at re-directing (auto login if possible (or) pre-populate login fields at the least) them to the new site when they access the old site.
    I reviewed the HTMl source of the portal login page, but did not see a way to pass parameters in the URL.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestion !

    Hi Srikanth,
    You can send your user name & password to the portal as url parameters like:
    http://<server>:port/irj/portal?j_user=your_user_name& j_password=your_password
    Hope this helps,
    Best Regards,

  • Pre-sign for delivery help?

    Hello everyone, I need some help. I am trying to "pre-sign for delivery" of my iPhone 5 as I probably won't be there when it is delivered. However, whenever I follow the "pre-sign for deliver" link, it takes me to my order page but there is no link there. Nothing at all. If it helps, my order is in the "preparing for shipment" phase. My best guess is that you can't pre sign until the order is being shipped or something, as it is probably carrier specific, however I'm not completely sure.
    As a bonus, anyone have any idea whether it's best to pre-sign for delivery or authorize somebody else to sign for me? (I live in a college dorm hall)
    Thanks guys!

    As a bonus, anyone have any idea whether it's best to pre-sign for delivery or authorize somebody else to sign for me? (I live in a college dorm hall)
    That depends on whether you want everyone living in (and passing through) your dorm or just the person you authorized to be suspects in the theft of your phone.

  • Pre-signing iPhone 6 plus for a friend

    Ok so I am from Costa Rica and I want to preorder the iPhone 6 plus, I want to ship it to an U.S address but I read that I need to be present in the delivery cause of shipping policies of apple, so my question is how do I pre-sign so that anyone can receive the package whithout any problems? excuse my ignorance about this I do not know to much about this delivery system. Thanks

    Hi memoag12,
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here's what the Apple Store shipping and delivery page says.
    Shipping & Pickup
    http://store.apple.com/us/help/shipping_delivery
    If you are unavailable to provide a signature, Apple offers three easy options for you to receive your package.
    Option 1: Pre-sign with Apple
    There are two ways you can Pre-sign for your shipment:
    Click the Pre-sign for this shipment link in your Shipment Notification email
    Visit online Order Status and click the "Pre-sign for this shipment" link
    Complete and print the Shipment Release Authorization form. Leave the form on your door for the carrier, prior to 8:00 a.m. on the day of expected delivery.
    You can specify a preferred delivery location (e.g., front door, back door, immediate neighbor, or building manager). If you provide an address other than the one specified on the package, someone must sign for the package.
    If you'd like to pre-sign for more than one shipment, simply print, sign, and leave a Shipment Release Authorization for each package.
    For safety and security reasons, all deliveries are subject to the driver's discretion. If you are unable to access the Pre-sign Form, call Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 and let us help!
    Option 2: Sign to release your shipment to your address, an immediate neighbor, or a building manager
    If you did not pre-sign for your package through Apple, and you were unavailable to provide a signature, the carrier will leave a Delivery Notice on your door after the first delivery attempt.
    You can sign the Delivery Notice, specify a preferred delivery location (e.g., front door, back door, immediate neighbor, building manager), and leave the notice on your door prior to the next delivery attempt.
    If you provide an address other than the one specified on the package, someone must sign for the package.
    Option 3: Pick up package at carrier's local facility
    After the first delivery attempt, you can request to pick up your package at our carrier's local facility. Call the number on the carrier's Delivery Notice and inform the carrier you'd like to pick up your package in person.
    To pick up your package from the carrier's local facility, you'll need:
    The Delivery Notice
    Government ID (driver's license, passport) that matches the package name and address
    Second ID with your name on it (credit card, social security card)
    The carrier can release the package only to the person included on the shipping address.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • Pre-Sign For This Shipment

    More of a comment than a question.  I diligently clicked on the link, printed the form, signed it and attached it to my door.  When I got home, the UPS driver had taped his "failure to deliver" form directly above my "pre-sign" form and hand wrote on the form "in person."  So I guess the pre-sign form is sort of meaningless if your shipment is via UPS.

    Ironically mine got left on top of the mailbox without a note or signature being taken.

  • Fed Ex Pre sign?

    My phones will be here tomorrow, and I'm not going to be able to stay home to sign for it. Any one know or have any luck with a pre sign with fed ex? I just left a note on my front door. Hoping they'll leave it, or come later in the afternoon when I'm off work.

    That should work.  The sig required for these are:
    Indirect signature required
    That means you can have someone sign for it or leave a note saying it's OK to leave them.

  • Any way to pre-sign for a UPS delivery from Verizon?

    I might have to run out for a few minutes and don't want to miss my delivery.  Can't find anything on either UPS or Verizon's website.  Is there any way to pre-sign?

    Type up a consent saying, "I am authorizing UPS to leave my package at the front door (or wherever you choose), and I understand that it is not UPS's responsibility if the package is stolen." Type up something similar to that and make sure you put the name that's  on the package, the address, and tracking number on the form then sign and date it. That's the same thing Apple's pre-sign form has on it. I used my old one from the February iPhone I ordered through Apple for this one I ordered through Verizon. I just photo shopped the tracking number.It is still the driver's discretion whether or not they want to leave it and take that as a signature though.

  • UPS won't deliver using pre-sign form

    I put the properly filled out pre-sign form on my door this morning because my iPad was on the truck for delivery today. Luckily I was home when the driver came and knocked on the door.
    He said that signatures are required for all Apple shipments and that I can't pre-sign for them. That means I have to take off work to wait for a shipment every time I buy something from the Apple store online?
    It's deceptive for Apple to tell me that I can pre-sign and then it doesn't work. Somebody isn't telling me the truth.

    The Help pages for the Apple Store say that pre-signing is available, though they also say that for safety and security reasons, all deliveries are subject to the driver's discretion, so your driver may be correct about the carrier policies. Call the carrier's customer service department and ask about their policies.
    Personally I consider pre-signing for any shipment that's worth more than a small amount to be a foollsh risk. It's not at all uncommon for packages to go missing when just dropped at the front door - there have been more than a few posts in these forums complaining about missing deliveries - and if you pre-sign, neither the carrier nor Apple will take any responsibility for a missing package. If you can't be present at home to accept a shipment, I'd suggest either having it delivered to your place of business, to the home of a friend or relative who would be available to accept the shipment for you, or arrange to pick up the parcel from the carrier which you can usually do by calling the carrier after the first delivery attempt.
    Regards.
