⭐ IMPORTANT STEP: Ensuring the Reputation of your Business by Obtaining A Receipt for Each Package

The postal store I use for dropping off FedEx packages does not provide receipts. I would have to drive to the actual FedEx store which is miles away. I’ve had several signing services ask for a receipt and I tell them it’s not possible, and they don’t object. I always check the FedEx tracking soon after their pickup and haven’t had any problems.

@paul.jasmine.notary Thank you for your perspective. Of course, it’s up to you, as the business owner, to determine the amount of risk that you’re willing to bear in regard a critical element in the chain-of-custody regarding the executed docs.

There are MANY who have found themselves in a serious battle, when they’ve utilized a drop box or an “Authorized Location” that doesn’t provide receipts nor scan in the package.

Please Reference the following for a few of the precarious experiences:

From many fellow professional signing agents [PSAs] as well as in my direct experience, the small amount of additional expense for traveling a few additional miles is well worth the peace of mind afforded by taking that extra step to ensure that a receipt & package scan in are accomplished.

That is one of my worries with so much happening that a package will get lost or who knows what can happen after you ship it.

Too many posts to go through, so If not mentioned before. I insist on getting a receipt showing the tracking number of each package dropped. They are saved in my expense receipts so that I can back up any additional miles taken for package dropoffs in case of an audit.
