Proof of Delivery?

Proof of Delivery would come from the form of the yellow card ( sometimes other colors) that shows up in your mailbox saying someone is trying to give you a package or other item. The Proof of Delivery is completed by them signing that card. THIS is what my merchant wants, I already asked why the tracking which I signed up for both UPS and USPS would not be enough to suffice as proof of delivery. Why, is beyond me. Certainly if I have a valid tracking number going to the address of where the order came from, you would think that would be enough. Although, the best protection from fraud when it comes to yes, dropshipping, would be to have the purchaser sign for that purchase. That way the customer cannot say they didn't receive the purchase, even if you have proof that it was shipped. And excuse me, but your last sentence was ignorant. Going to business school and then coming here to ask questions, asking other people how they do things, and certainly finding out as much information as I can does not equate not knowing how to run a business. It does however, equate to me learning how to run my own business. Sorry I asked the question in a way you couldn't understand. Even if I wasn't dropshipping ( and for certain items I won't be), the best protection against fraud is sending the package with proof of delivery.

Because of what I went through with my merchant account to begin with-written in other posts, that and ONLY that is why I began to feel regret, not because I couldn't figure out how to run things.

I have a nice majority of my own stock. Shipping out my own stock won't be enough to suffice either. They need to see proof that when an order is placed, I used my own funds, out of my own bank account, to order that item. They don't want to see that I waited until the merchant funds were transferred into my account to order it. Technically, that is the way it SHOULD be-using my own funds. The requirements of MC/Visa are this as well. I can't pay myself through my bank account for stock I already own. . Then again, if I get crafty enough, I might be able to think of a way to do that..... so I could lose money I guess.

In case no one understood the question, what do you obtain from your customers to prove proof of delivery to your merchant bank just in case they call the credit card company (or you) and say "hey, I never received what I ordered?".

With dropshipping (which this is a dropshipping forum) we are not in control of the inventory or how the item is shipped a lot of times. I contacted each of my suppliers via email and asked them if they could send any orders "proof of delivery" required. If I do not hear from them via email, then I will call them. I know from purchasing my stock through two of my suppliers ( and some were in large orders) that NO proof of delivery was required. I was a bit upset to come home and see a very large order just sitting on my porch.
