Ask for a phone # to call them on... maybe that will help?

i know ups does this, it is called a "call tag" i can arrange for them to pick up an item and deliver it.

maybe you could get his shipping number and confirm the name on the account. i agree that a phone number would not hurt, basically "hey send me you phone # in case i have any problems".

the only thng i dont like is that it is shipping to a different address than the account holder.

i had someone ship 3rd party billing on my ups account, my number, and i did not authorize it nor did I even know who the people were.

better safe than sorry
