There were no shipping options to select during bmwpartsunlimited.com's checkout process. Just to be clear I did not want signature required service.
Quoted below is the exact shipping policy stated on the bmwpartsunlimited.com website.
There is no mention of required-signature-upon-delivery for initial orders or subsequent orders.
I live on 2+ acres at the end of a long driveway that is monitored by video surveillance and other security measures. A package ain't going anywhere without knowing the who, what, when, & where.
I do every purchase possible online via large sites such as amazon, often receiving several packages a week, probably totally tens of thousands of dollars annually.
True, I may be spoiled by amazon's seamless shopping experience, but bmwpartsunlimited.com enforcement of unstated shipping policies is a deceptive business practice.
For those that may consider placing an order with bmwpartsunlimited.com, I only wish to share my negative experience with the required-signature-upon-delivery requirement that is not mentioned in bmwpartsunlimited.com shipping policy statement.
For those that may have trouble understanding a rather simple matter, or don't have the wherewithal to spend thirty seconds to investigate bmwpartsunlimited.com's shipping policy for themselves, welp, life is too short.
