FedEx package requires signature, no one will be home

[franklin]

Is this a home delivery? If so, no, I don't think you have the option to electronically sign if the sender shipped the package with a delivery signature required. If that's the case, they'll leave a "delivery attempt" which would say they'll attempt delivery again on the next business day, or it will let you know where your package will be sent and you'll need to bring that delivery attempt notice with you to collect the package. If you didn't arrange the shipment (meaning terms, delivery service, special instructions, etc.) you can't really call FedEx and have it adjusted, the shipper would have to change the requirements (i.e., delivery signature required).

Mine left me a card saying they will try to re deliver the next day and if I wasn't going to be home then I could just sign the card instead.

Eta I'm dumb and didn't read your whole post. I don't think they have an option for you to sign electronically. Guess the card doesn't help either if you will be out of town.

Sometimes my delivery guy will accept a note that says "please leave package from XYZ on front porch, thank you, signature and date".

I've done this before, too.

Do you have the option to send it to the closest FedEx store?

Do you have a neighbor friend that would sign for you? I'm a sahm and I sign for my neighbors stuff all the time.

We had this problem with our iphones. They gave us the option to have them delivered to the fedex store right by us so we could pick it up whenever they were open. They also had saturday pick up at the fedex warehouse so we could pick it up there but it was much further away.

It's a handbag , it's due for delivery on Friday  Does FedEx deliver on Saturdays? If so, and they re-attempt my ass will sit at home all day on Saturday. 

if they attempt on Friday and dont leave it, you should be able to go and pick it up at whatever sorting plant it is at on Saturday.

Do you have a kinkos fedex ship center place near you? You can have packages sent there and they have longer extended hours and weekends. Then you sign for your package there for your pickup instead of waiting around for a redelivery.

Had to do this once with a must-sign-for fedex delivery that I knew I couldn't be there for. It was very convenient.

once they attempt delivery once, you can call them and ask that they hold it for pickup at your local hub. If they attempt delivery on Friday, you should be able to pick it up on Saturday. 

If not, you might be able to reroute the package to a different address, or have the shipper do a change of address for you.
