Leave at door (Do not card)
If no one is home to receive the parcel, we’ll look for a safe location to leave it (with a safe drop card telling you the location of the item). If a safe location is not possible, we’ll leave you a delivery notice card telling you where to pickup the item at a designated post office.

Card (hold) for pickup
A delivery notice card lets your customer know they can pick up their parcel at the nearest post office. Ideal for temperature-sensitive items. Government-issued photo ID is required to pick up parcels. Customers must sign up for this option.

Do not safe drop
The parcel will be left in the mailbox when delivery is made to the door. If the parcel doesn't fit and there's no one home, we'll leave a delivery notice card for pickup at the nearest post office.

Signature
