Why can’t the driver leave the parcel on the porch or round the back of the house?
A. Unfortunately this is not standard practice, as the courier requires a signature upon delivery. If the driver was to leave the parcel without a signature, it is not guaranteed that the recipient will receive it. They may be on holiday for example & the parcel would be left sitting out, or it could be lifted or misplaced. Signatures also help if the parcel is delivered to a hospital or work address, as you can let the recipient know who has signed on their behalf.
