Australia Post is still selling Signature on Delivery as a service but not providing it. Staff at Post Offices have been told that its OK to put packages with SOD straight into PO boxes without requiring a signature and drivers dont have to get a signature when delivering to private addresses.
I received a package that had been sent with signature on delivery and insured for $5000.00 last week. It was just left in my PO box with no signature required. It wasnt packed very welll and if there had been some damage to the item I wonder how Australia Post would have dealt with a claim considering that it had not been signed for.
