With your signature server all you need to do is set up the delivery with the order number.

When the delivery arrives at your secure drop off point the driver texts your text-lock serial number with the order number to the signature server and the server will open the lock for the driver for you, keeping a record of his number.

When he closes the lock again after leaving your order safely in the box, he must then confirm he has made the delivery. You will be notified of this by text.

You can be in a busy noisy bar, swimming or engaging in any other work or leisure activity, even if you are out of signal or have your phone switched off the delivery will still be made without delay or any other problem.
