On line viewable signature through Canada Post outside of Canada

[dutchman48]

I was just told by Canada Post that there is no on line viewable signature for any form of mail sent outside of Canada. It shows who signed in printing, but no actual signature.

What would this do to a Paypal claim for over $250.00 where on line viewable signature is required?

It would show as delivered and insurance would not cover it either.

Any suggestions or comments

I would guess that a printed name means nothing. That said, the person signing has no idea what you can see.

I would not be concerned about it. However, that is me.

As far as I know the name is all you need, it confirms the package was signed for, the actual signature is not necessary.

Keep in mind that with any postal delivery (except Registered) anyone who answers the door can sign. For Registered it's supposed to be the specified addressee but in my experience anyone can sign at the door, only if the item is picked up at the post office do they require it to be the addressee (even that can be circumvented). With Registered you usually don't even see the name online, only that it was delivered.
