If you do not require a signature for your parcel deliveries just include directions to your GuardIt Lockbox in the delivery instructions and specify “No Signature Required”.
If you do require a signature for parcel deliveries then you will need to complete an authority to leave form (ATL) for each courier company that is likely to be delivering to you. Click on the link below to go straight to the authority to leave forms for most local couriers.

Is it likely that a courier will not leave a parcel in my Guardit Lockbox?
If a signature is required and you have not filled in an authority to leave form the courier driver cannot deliver your parcel.
If no signature is required then the only reasons why a parcel shouldn’t be delivered is because it is too large to fit in your GuardIt Lockbox or your GuardIt Lockbox is not unlocked (Models 3008S/M).
In that case the courier driver will need to leave an attempted delivery form in your letterbox. He/she will then deliver the next day. You will need to make sure that your GuardIt Lockbox is empty and unlocked.
