Absolutely not. One of my colleagues with 39 years service on the clock was sacked last month for delivering a priority item and signing for it on the recipient's behalf. He's currently going through the appeal process, but I honestly don't think we'll see him back. Absolutely refuse to countenance any such requests, which will only result in you putting your job on the line if you comply....the sender pays a premium for these services in order to have the addressee's signature adorning your PDA/EPOD card, not yours, and any plea that you were simply doing the recipient a "favour" because they weren't at home will cut no ice whatsoever with Royal Mail if you get caught out.

I have signed for Blind people - on their request. I think that is fair

Forgot about that! Twice in a week, 1 old man who was blind and a middle aged lady with MS. Poor luv, couldn't even hold the stylus.
Signed both myself with a note on PDA , Blind/MS.
Most probably wrong and "conduct code"able but thought I was doing the right thing!

We are allowed to sign for those with Parkinson's Disease for example, where they can't hold the stylus and the manager has been informed.
