Sometimes the originator puts that on the receiving agent (you). I go to my FedEx shipping location in my town and intercept it. They know when it will come in and will hold it for you to pick-up on your schedule. But, you have to do that before it goes out for delivery.
I live in canada and order online all the time, yes it's a thing and will always be a thing since it's required by law here.
Some US vendors also require signatures. Vaperzon does.
My wife had a hair dryer delivered yesterday by Fedex. The shipping notification said signature required. They didn't ask for a signature though, just dropped it on the front porch. Maybe it's a Fedex thing.
That's odd. I've never gotten a signature required package from FedEx unless the shipper requested it.
It's required as part of age verification. Basically, they could get into trouble for selling to you if you were underage regardless of where you happen to be.
Interestingly, they do tend to accept that the definition of 'underage' depends on the jurisdiction. If I buy vape supplies from Ontario, where it means under 19, Canada Post will only confirm that I'm not under 18, which is the age of majority in my province. Equally, if someone in Ontario buys gear from Alberta, they'll have to prove they're 19 even though they could buy it at 18 if they were physically in Alberta.
More like an ID expired during the lock-down thing.
They didn't give you an extention on your driver's license in your state?
Here in mine they extended it until October as well as are allowing you to apply for a renewal license and replacement (using the last rounds photo) via online and they mail it to you... my husband just got his new one in the mail today, even though the DMV is closed to the public.
Thanks - didn't think to check on that. I will know one way or the other come Monday when it's due.
It's not just Canada. Here in CA (USA) it is supposedly required but it depends on the vendor (some do, some don't) Here they also add a $5 fee for it (that really sucks for small orders) That also means you have to be home when it's delivered
That was my point. I was responding to Englishmick's comment that "maybe it's a FedEx thing." It's not, because only the shipper can request signature required. FedEx just delivers packages.

It's a new law in California.
E-Cigarette Regulations - California | Public Health Law Center
Delivery sales, distribution, or nonsale distribution (e.g., mail, phone, online) of electronic cigarettes through the U.S. Postal Service or any other public or private postal service prohibited unless the age of the product purchaser is verified as 21 years or older at both time of purchase and delivery. Additionally, the container must be conspicuously labeled with “CONTAINS TOBACCO PRODUCTS: SIGNATURE OF PERSON 21 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER REQUIRED FOR DELIVERY.”
I’m not sure if all delivery services have this but I’ve gone on their website and made an account so you can sign for it in advance online. I think you can do it for fedex.
Mine did that to me too, I guess that means they think we are old enough.. I thought it was rude of him! Haha..
Yes, the agreement in setup says something to the affect like we aren’t responsible for the package, and then they leave it on the porch. I’m not sure if fedex has this but some let you pick a spot from choices like front door, back door, garage door, etc. Although it’s usually only applicable if it won’t fit in your mailbox. I know USPS has this which is nice because frequently the other carriers often ship it to your town and then handoff to Usps for final delivery. Usps has informed delivery which is worth signing up for. It’s free and it will show you pics of your mail that’s due to arrive each day and packages. So if you just see junk mail, you don’t even got to bother going to the mailbox. Anyway, I digress, but hopefully this can help some of you cope with the dreaded wait for vape mail. It’s excruciating and we need all the help we can get.
Maybe it's a corona virus thing. FedEx brought my DIY stuff the other day. I opened the door and he started backing up real quick. I asked if he wanted me to sign anything and he said no. Practically ran away.
