Exactly the same happened to me, took pic of the door. At least I’ll be on guard next time it happens.ebbzie wrote: ↑09 Jul 2025, 18:18WTF is this cr*p.

Re: Sign before picture
It's the way it should always have been, stops you taking a photo and accidentally posting it.

Doesn't stop the recipient accidentally slamming the door in your face though does it?claretandblue wrote: ↑09 Jul 2025, 18:47It's the way it should always have been, stops you taking a photo and accidentally posting it.

You don't hand the item over until they've signed.SkiSunday wrote: ↑09 Jul 2025, 18:49Doesn't stop the recipient accidentally slamming the door in your face though does it?claretandblue wrote: ↑09 Jul 2025, 18:47It's the way it should always have been, stops you taking a photo and accidentally posting it.

Re: Sign before picture
What they mean is they've signed - hand it over - they shut the door while you press send THEN it comes up take photoclaretandblue wrote: ↑09 Jul 2025, 18:55You don't hand the item over until they've signed.SkiSunday wrote: ↑09 Jul 2025, 18:49Doesn't stop the recipient accidentally slamming the door in your face though does it?claretandblue wrote: ↑09 Jul 2025, 18:47It's the way it should always have been, stops you taking a photo and accidentally posting it.

Re: Sign before picture
They finally changed it - makes sense, saves time... you can type in the name while you wait for them to make their slow-arsed way to the door then search for keys. Hand them the PDA then photo the parcel before handing it to them. or even take photo as they sign.

Just photograph the door. We haven’t got time to frame perfect portraits of each item.
