Two- if the company has not paid their bill you will not get charged for the service. One-if the envelope is lost, it will not come to you it will just automatically go to the company that hired you. PLEASE remember when you are required to hand fill out the shipping labels with the client title-escrow etc account numbers you should always list the person that you are shipping to as the recipient and as the shipper. The first thing I let our Oregon notary friend know is that unless absolutely necessary, you should always hand your packages to a driver and ask him to scan them or take them to hub or staffed service center, have them scan them and get a receipt. This to me this is a disaster waiting to happen. Now in my mind, I’m thinking why in the world would you drop a set of documents in a drop box, especially with a large amount in a cashiers check. So, now everyone is upset and confused as to what to do. The assignment that had been given to the Notary in Oregon was for the paperwork that was to be used to purchase the property. To make matters even worse there was a substantial amount in a cashier’s check also in the missing package. When this Oregon notary public and title went to track the package, there was no tracking information available. I thought to myself, this is going to be bad. It was now Tuesday, and she got that dreaded call: the title company still hadn’t received the package. It seems she had completed a signing successfully and had dropped her documents on a Friday in one of those infamous drop boxes of Fedex. From her tone she was obviously very upset.

But, regardless, it is something to consider, if at all possible please don’t drop your packages in drop boxes. Maybe you have had issues with drop boxes or maybe you haven’t. And before you say it, I know some of you have no other options that are close to you. I know a lot of you use drop boxes (Fedex, UPS, etc) to drop your document packages.
