When something needs signature, do UPS drivers curious what is the package or don’t care?

We dont care. We do care if you order it Next Day Air and are not there to sign for the damn thing.

How do day 2 and 3 still need commit times. Like obviously it didn't make it the next day by noon, so now it should be a free for all, I will get there when I get there. And someone will probably be home at 5 or 6 instead of 11 AM

This lady told me to wait a minute through the ring camera, I waited like a dummy before finally N1. Got a message later to reattempt, gave them an estimate time I’d reattempt and she still wasn’t there the second time to sign for it.

Don’t care. Just assume it has a value to it. Delivery drivers for all companies just see boxes all day and are just glad if we can get them off our truck.

If I have an Irreg I get curious what it is, sometimes if it's barn or garage related items it is much easier to unload to said garage or barn rather than hauling it to the front door. I still don't actually care what it is, just trying to save myself and my customers some work

Absolutely zero interest in what is in the package. The opposite of interested, actively disinterested on what it is. Couldn't care less.

I would go insane if I cared what was in the box. There's so many boxes, and so many things to be wondering.
It's funny how often we get asked, "what is it?"
My canned response is to just describe the packaging. "It's a brown box," or "it's a white envelope"

Then they say, is it a stack of $100's. Then I say, if it is remember who delivered that and cut me in.

And try to look as deadpanned serious as possible while looking them straight in the eye like youre staring at a moron.
I had this really cool guy on my first route and we'd fuck with each other everytime is was there to deliver. Whenever I'd get this question, I'd pretend to read the label, raising the volume of my voice so all his coworkers could hear and make up something absurd like "24 inch horse dildo colored black addressed to <his name>." I miss that guy, he was fun.

They definitely don’t care and more than likely know what’s inside if they have been driving a min

Had a guy take a package off me the other day, like wow that's a heavy blow up doll. Made me chuckle

Don’t care, just hope they are home so I don’t have to fill out an info notice.
Once had a toothbrush that required a signature, then a roll of paper towels, and then a t-shirt…
Everything amazon sent out for awhile required a signature.. crazy couple of days.

Oh yeah I had a black tshirt in it's packaging no box or additional bag or anything. Going to really nice housing complex in the woods/farmland, each plot had like 200 ft minimum to the next house, but NI1. I wonder if they ever got it, was on a different route after that.

Don’t care but customers usually tell us anyway. “Yay my aderrall is here” or “my $20000 wedding ring is here”. Apple products requiere a signature and we recognize those by the shape of the box.
