Upintheshed Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Im looking to order my first rif from online and am wondering whether i need to sign for it or not as no onein my house is at home during the day and neither are my neighbours. any replies would be greatly appreciated.
Vulpiness Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Yes, but you can always pick it up at a depot.
Upintheshed Posted January 18, 2019 Author Posted January 18, 2019 thanks, im not sure what postal service fire support use but hopefully theyll have a local depot

Supporters Prisce Posted January 18, 2019 Supporters Posted January 18, 2019 You will get email confirmation about dates/times.

Supporters Prisce Posted January 18, 2019 Supporters Posted January 18, 2019 I recommend them. Perhaps ring up and talk to Firesupport, see if they can help? Another courier or sent to you for a specific date?

Arwen Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 Ups will leave them at their drop off points for you to sign for. Local corner shops and such.

Supporters Rogerborg Posted January 18, 2019 Supporters Posted January 18, 2019 My local UPS "corner shops and such" won't accept anything RIF sized, as I've found to my chagrin. They'll also cheerfully lie about when they're going to deliver it, and will send it out as soon as they have it, even when they've agreed to deliver it on a specific day. Don't sweat it though - couriers could not possibly care less about the contents of the package.
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 19, 2019 Mostly Retired Moderators Posted January 19, 2019 One point to note: If you order on a shop's finance scheme, the finance companies stipulate that it must be delivered to the address that has applied for the loan. Though, admittedly, this was the case when I worked in a guitar shop that sold things on mail order finance. I can't imagine things have changed in the six years since.

Though, admittedly, this was the case when I worked in a guitar shop that sold things on mail order finance. I can't imagine things have changed in the six years since. Surely the rules of ukara stating it be delivered to the address registered would over rule this? If you were thinking of giving different address to finance company to get it delivered somewhere more convenient?
Mostly Retired Moderators L3wisD Posted January 19, 2019 Mostly Retired Moderators Posted January 19, 2019 I don't know in all honesty. I remember that the handful of finance companies we used were all adamant that the goods had to be delivered and signed for at the address where the credit check had been approved. The rule was set in stone at the time - like I say it might have changed since I worked there. But I imagine your registered ukara address would be the same as your home address anyway 99% of the time.

Willyg1981 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 The courier company who ever it is will leave it at the local Royal Mail sorting office with a “missed you” card if there is no one home I expect , Iv ordered lots of various expensive items over the years and they always leave it at the sorting office which is luckily 5 minute walk for me
Upintheshed Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 thanks for your help and info everyone, i ordered and got my guns last week and cant wait to use them soon
Resistor170 Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 Did you pull a sickie? And if you did, did the guilt disappear as soon as you got your delivery?

Resistor170 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 I didn't look back at the posts here but I think you said you couldn't get it delivered to work originally? If that's right then it's worth me remembering in case I'm in the same situation
