    A signature is required for delivery. So no chance of it being stolen unless the driver gets robbed

    I am getting it through UPS. I received multiple packages from them through Amazon and have never been disappointed. I have no doubt that they will be responsible with my delivery.

    I can't speak for whatever reseller you end up choosing. But I would imagine that they will utilize signature requirement and insurance on your package. These are usually not concerns when it comes to computers/electronics related companies. If you ever dealt with Newegg and their tight shipping requirements you would definitely have experience with it.

    That's correct. Adult signature required if shipped via UPS.

    As everyone has said most sellers will require signature especially for insurance reasons.
