Are you expecting a direct signature required package from a delivery service and you\u2019re wondering what that is? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the increased theft of packages before they reach the recipient, delivery services now use DSR to ensure the success rate of delivery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, what is the DSR method and how does it protect your package from theft? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article explores the meaning of a direct signature required method, the packages that require them, and their importance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does it mean when a direct signature is required?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A Direct Signature Required (DSR) delivery is one that requires a signature from a person at the recipient’s address.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n

Direct signature deliveries go to the address listed on the mailing label rather than to a specific recipient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this situation, someone who lives or works there must be available to sign, and they must be authorized to do so. No remarks may be included, the package may not be left unattended, and neither guests nor neighbors may sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it is for a business, there are no problems. However, if you are aware that it is a DSR and you cannot pick it up, have it kept for you at a holding facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can choose to collect it at the station after delivery hours, but you’ll need a photo ID. You’ll also need your last name and address on the ID to match those on the package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the delivery person may attempt the delivery again if nobody is home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What happens if the DSR recipient is not available?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If a direct signature is required to deliver the package, the driver will typically make a maximum of three tries.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This indicates that it will be delivered three times if no one is available to receive it before being returned. If there is a DSR label on the package, then the driver considers the product risky to deliver to an unknown recipient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also means that the driver cannot leave without a signature and verifying who signs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, the delivery service<\/a> might not automatically try again. In such cases, the package would be transported to a store nearby and kept for pickup instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What packages require a direct signature?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many different types of shipments, such as legal shipments of alcohol, high-value packaged products, dangerous goods, hazardous chemicals, drugs, and weapons, mostly need direct signatures to be delivered<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the sender requires that you sign for the package, you must do so. You can check the tracking details that were sent to you through email from the sender to determine whether your delivery requires a signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
