If a residential customer asks to leave a package at a nonstandard location, what is the recommended action?

• A. Accept the request
• B. Refuse the request
• C. Ask your supervisor to add this information to the CPad notes and follow the process
• D. Leave the package where requested

Answer: (C)

Handling requests to leave a package at a nonstandard location requires following the formal escalation and documentation process. The best action is to bring this to a supervisor's attention and have the instruction recorded in the CPAD notes, then follow the designated process. This approach balances customer service with safety and policy—the supervisor can confirm whether the exception is allowed and ensure the delivery record shows exactly what was requested and how it should be carried out. Documenting the instruction in CPAD provides an auditable trail for future deliveries and helps prevent misdelivery or theft. Taking the request at face value or bypassing the process could violate policy and create risk, which is why the recommended path is to escalate and document.
