Signing for something ....Couriers ?
What’s the best way to sign for something delivered by a courier, but to say "received but not inspected at the time of delivery"
esp for a high value item?
Or is that good enough to write just that to be covered if it should turn up fooked ?

lol, am courier for a living, and winds us up when people write "unchecked" lol, they are only actually singing to say they have recieved the package, so we can proove we delivered it to you and didnt steal it, if its broken most good businesses will sort out, and plus courier firms/individuals should have GIT (goods in Transit) insurance which covers items damaged in transit, basically, hope that helps

Precisely, you're signing to say you got it, nothing else.
People can write what they want for me, as long as they don't expect me to hang around while they check it, 'cos I'm sure as shit not taking it back once it's been opened.
What does wind me up is the packages that have a big sticker on specifically saying don't sign for without checking. No chance.

had a customer once in coalville that insisted on stamping 'unchecked' on every POD form they had to sign
as a result, they used to claim for missing parts on every single delivery, costing my company thousands in the long run. was gauranteed they would find a prt/s missing every week for about 6 months without fail
so after that, my company made sure i had an hour extra for that delivery, so i stood and watched them unpack every single pallet (usually about 10) and check off every single item there and then. they hated doing it, i didnt mind as i just sat and watched
result was these so called 'missing' parts issues were completely eradicated, and for the following 6 months i was there, i didnt have 1 missing part
goes to show how signing as 'unchecked' can cost the delivering company a lot of money for those who try and play the system
