HOW TO DROP OFF SOMETHING AT A FEDEX DROPBOX DRIVER
Always try to get a receipt or have driver scan your packages for you. Now I understand that some of you may not be near a hub or have a location that you can go into to get a scan or receipt near by. You will have to pay it if you cant prove to their satisfaction that, you were hired by a 3rd party. and worst of all it will effect your credit if you cant straighten it out. Be careful! This can cause you a great deal of trouble with UPS, Fedex etc. Currently I have about 3 notaries battling with Fedex on this matter (cause they put their name as the shipper)and they are in collection status with them. Two- if the company has not paid their bill you will not get charged for the service. One-if the envelope is lost, it will not come to you it will just automatically go to the company that hired you. PLEASE remember when you are required to hand fill out the shipping labels with the client title-escrow etc account numbers you should always list the person that you are shipping to as the recipient and as the shipper. The first thing I let our Oregon notary friend know is that unless absolutely necessary, you should always hand your packages to a driver and ask him to scan them or take them to hub or staffed service center, have them scan them and get a receipt. This to me this is a disaster waiting to happen. Now in my mind, I’m thinking why in the world would you drop a set of documents in a drop box, especially with a large amount in a cashiers check. So, now everyone is upset and confused as to what to do.

The assignment that had been given to the Notary in Oregon was for the paperwork that was to be used to purchase the property. To make matters even worse there was a substantial amount in a cashier’s check also in the missing package. When this Oregon notary public and title went to track the package, there was no tracking information available. I thought to myself, this is going to be bad. It was now Tuesday, and she got that dreaded call: the title company still hadn’t received the package. It seems she had completed a signing successfully and had dropped her documents on a Friday in one of those infamous drop boxes of Fedex. From her tone she was obviously very upset. I had an Oregon notary just the other day call in to 123notary. To give you an example, here is one story of several that has been shared with me.

Because, if you have bad luck and the documents get lost and you have no documentation It can cause you a great amount of grief, stress and aggravation and in the end it could cost you a valuable client. But, regardless, it is something to consider, if at all possible please don’t drop your packages in drop boxes. Maybe you have had issues with drop boxes or maybe you haven’t. And before you say it, I know some of you have no other options that are close to you. I know a lot of you use drop boxes (Fedex, UPS, etc) to drop your document packages.
