Can I have someone pick up my USPS parcel?
As long as it is not an item that requires only the addressee's signature, anybody could pick up the item as long as they have the Attempted Delivery notice..
Do i have to sign for a package through usps?
They will probably just leave it at your door or in your mailbox if it would fit. I'm not sure they would even wait to see if your there past one or two packages I've gotten the mailman just knocks leaves it between the door then leaves.
Do you have to be 18+ to sign for a USPS package?
I'm under 18 and I recently bought a bong from http://pipesdaddy.com/ and I used a prepaid MasterCard. When I received an email about the order, it said, "Signature Confirmation: Provides date, time and place of delivery. For added security, a signature of the recipient is required upon delivery." Do I have to be 18+ to sign for this or will it not matter considering it won't say "bong" on the package? I know that "I should just wait until I'm 18" but I need answers that will help my case. Thank you.
How can I figure out the sender of a USPS parcel that I never received with just the tracking number that says the package wasn't delivered?
Sounds like a phishing e-mail.If you go to the USPS website and enter your tracking number, a real parcel will register as being somewhere, and where it originated.If you’re working off a notice that you received in your mailbox, as opposed to an e-mail, you can pick it up at the post office (at which time you can accept or refuse receipt), or you can request re-delivery using your notice.

Question about signing for a package USPS?
If you received a form 3849 (Orange) request for pickup at the Post Office. You can have anyone go there to pick your item up and sign for you. They would be considered an agent for you however if the item was sent Restricted Delivery (which would be checked on the Orange 3849) then the only person who can pick that item up is the person whose name appears on the 3849 form and you will need your ID to prove it. People pay extra money to have things sent Restricted Delivery. The only time Restricted Delivery does not come into play is when an item is mailed to a large company or business then an agent of that person can sign for Restricted Delivery.
What happens If I cant sign for a package from USPS?
This is a tricky one. If you have tracking confirmation that the parcel was delivered, then you have done what eBay and PayPal require you to supply in the event of a non receipt dispute. It is not your fault if the parcel was stolen (well that's what the buyer says anyway). However, you can't "run away" from the reversal if a dispute is found in his favour. Even if you remove your bank account, they will just overdraw your PayPal account and then put it in collections. If you close you accounts to avoid a refund, you will not be using either eBay or PayPal again. They will refuse you. If you don't want to do eBay anymore or use PayPal again, fine, close your accounts but they still might pursue you through a collection agency for the money. I'd tell the buyer that he needs to raise a dispute and you can prove it was sent and delivered which is all you can be held responsible for, and hopefully the case will be found in your favor and you won't have to refund. This s certainly more likely if he is a new buyer. PayPal is aware of this fraud activity with new buyers getting the item and then also trying to get the dispute process to refund the money as well. Seriously, it's actually unlikely that the delivery man stole the item or some random stranger took it off his porch, I'm suspecting a fraudster! Expect bad feedback though!
USPS, refuse package?
Find out if there is tracking on the item. If there is tracking, when you refuse it, ask the carrier to show you the screen on the scanner. 'Refused' is one of the choices we have, I think it's either #4 or #5. Once the scan has been confirmed, it will show up in the tracking updates as refused. The seller can claim they never received it all they want after that, even if the scan for return delivery to them is missed, they can't hold it against you. You can still refuse a package that's not tracked, but if you don't trust them and want proof, your only option is to pay for return postage yourself, and you can buy insurance or signature confirmation. I would go with the signature, because that way, someone from the company will have to sign for it. Just in case - assuming you paid by credit card - be prepared to make a claim with your credit card company for the amount of the purchase, and keep all tracking info plus any receipts for postage you pay for.
If someone signs for a package delivery (UPS, FedEx, USPS, etc.), are they legally responsible if the intended recipient never gets it? Or who is?
If the office signs for your package, that implies what is called a bailment, which is a temporary property right to possess an item known to belong to another, subject to a duty to take reasonable care to avoid loss or damage to the item, and to return it on demand. Bailments may be gratuitous but in this case there's probably consideration which gives your claim some teeth—you are paying rent to the company after all.The classic example of a bailment of a valuable property is valet parking. A facility that offers valet parking would not get off the hook by saying "oh, we can't find your car."If the item is of sufficient value to be worth suing over, and the rental office failed to take such reasonable care, you'd likely have an action against it for breach of the bailment.I agree with Erica Friedman that UPS is not responsible, unless you had shipping instructions that the item should be released only to the addressee. Neither is the original shipper. The item was delivered to where it was supposed to go using reasonable industry practices and unless it's explicitly stated in a sales contract title passes on the seller's tender, in this case transferring it to UPS for shipment. The seller might have assumed the risk the item would be lost during shipping, but that wouldn't have been the case here. Cf. U.C.C. §§ 2-503, -504.
