Your package may or may not require a signature. Most packages are delivered to the mailbox or front door of the address provided, however, it is up to the delivery courier to decide if the package is safe being left in the open.
Here's what you need to know:
Delivery Without Signature
-
Standard Practice
Most packages are delivered directly to your mailbox or left at your front door without the need for a signature. -
Courier's Discretion
The delivery courier will assess whether it's safe to leave the package unattended. Factors like location, weather, and visibility from the street may influence their decision.
When a Signature May Be Required
-
Safety Concerns
If the courier deems it unsafe to leave the package unattended—for example, in high-traffic areas or if there's a risk of theft—they may require a signature. -
Alternate Arrangements
In cases where the delivery instructions are different from what the courier encounters at the time of delivery, the courier may:- Keep the package at a local post office or delivery facility for you to pick up.
- Attempt to deliver the package at another time when someone is available to receive it.
Our Recommendation
To ensure a smooth delivery, provide a secure shipping address, such as:
- Your Home Address: While this is an obvious chose for most, we recommend you double and triple check the address before you order to ensure the courier is confident that you are the intended recipient.
- A Work Address: If permitted, have the package delivered to your workplace.
- Friend or Neighbor's Address: Ship to someone you trust who can receive the package on your behalf.
