Here's the full info from the FedEx link:
Temporarily suspending signature required for most deliveries in the U.S.
- Except for shipments with adult signature required, physical signature not required for:
- FedEx Express (U.S. and Canada)
- FedEx Ground (U.S. and Canada)
- FedEx Freight (U.S.)
- FedEx Office in-store (U.S.)
- FedEx SameDay City (U.S.)
- FedEx Onsite Retail Locations (U.S.)
They are still getting signatures for adult signature required packages which may be something to consider for those shipping high value items with FedEx. Unlike UPS it doesn't list any kind of alternate signature method for standard signature required packages. I assume the FedEx drivers can just drop those packages on somebody's porch and leave with nothing more than the delivery scan.
The approach announced by UPS says their drivers will verify the name of the person accepting the package and the driver will fill out that person's name on their scanner in place of a signature. So it sounds like UPS will still make sure the package is delivered to an individual rather than drop it on the porch and leave, using the driver's entry of the person's name as a replacement for a signature.
