Forward Air tried that with me once and I told them the delivery was going to be refused unless it was inspected. They were still putting up a bit of arguement until I stood there and called my daughter and handed them the phone. She's a district attorney......

I used to drive a truck so I know the way a freight bill reads and how the customers retain a lot of control until they accept delivery with a signature. You just have to be ready to do a court thing to make the point stick. Those UPS drivers that drop boxes outside of gates and fences are leaving themselves wide open everytime they do so.

BTW, the way we did it the last time with FedEx worked out real good. The people that owned the little mail store were a bit perplexed by the size of the boxes but they handled things just fine.
