That all sounds well and good, but not so much.
First, the USPS will return it for free because it was refused, even if you couldn't catch the the carrier in the act of delivery.
That's the deal-- they will return it for free.
But-- if it's sent with Delivery Confirmation, the sender will see that (assuming the carrier doesn't forget to scan it.)
There's the If=Then catch. If it doesn't get back to the sender for some reason, or the sender *does* get it but loses track of it (as if!) then you could still be on the hook, because delivery was confirmed.
In the case of somebody losing their mind and joining a record club, there is no record of delivery and there is no proof that you didn't refuse the delivery, nor are you required to prove that you refused it.
So *IF* the package had DC attached, you could still refuse it after delivery, but there could be a potential fly waiting to light in your ointment.
I'm just saying...
