I bought some novo pods from vaping.com on Friday. They have already shipped and are in my state. Their website says that it is going to require age verification but I’m not going to be home when they deliver. Plus I don’t see anything about age verification on my tracking info. Am I going to need to be home for this? Hopefully they will be delivered soon.
I’ve got a quick question for the new ban

If a Package requires Age Verification but there is No One Home when they attempt to deliver it, the package usually will get sent back to the local Distribution Center it came from.
They will then Hold it for a Couple of Days so you came go there and Sign for it.
The Amount of Time Varies for carriers. But they should leave some kind of Form/Card on your door saying they were Unable to deliver your package. And Instructions on what to do next.

If the shipper is USPS in my area they will post a note on your doorstep to take the note and state supplied picture ID to the local post office for pickup there during their normal business hours.
I'm in a required signature state. My postman puts my vape mail in the box and leaves it anyway because I don't think he wants to be bothered getting out of his jeep. 
A couple times I looked it up to see how he scanned and it said, "left with agent". Worst case is you just have to go pick it up at the post office within the given time frame.

I bought a $2,000 computer and was all ready and waiting for the delivery man because I knew it had signature confirmation. He left it on the doorstep, rang the bell and took off.
A week later they wouldn't deliver some $20 item that I didn't care if it got stolen or not because it had signature confirmation.
So basically... who knows lol
Every vape gear package I've received from Europe over the last couple years said a signature was required.
DHL, FedEx and UPS never got a signature from me on any of those packages. They either left the package on my porch or handed it to me.
I just received two with signature requirements in the last week. One via DHL and the other FedEx. They handed me each package and never asked for a signature.

JMO...
I think there is a Big Difference between a "Signature Required" and an "Adult Verification Required". Especially in this Hyper PR time we are living in right Now regarding e-Cigarettes. Especially at the USPS.

I have a couple of mail order meds that require a signature. I usually get a notice left in my mailbox and have to go to the post office. However, during the lockdown the delivery person just left it in my box and the tracking said "left with agent".
I ordered a pricey laptop and gave my workplace for delivery to be on the safe side, not wanting it left on the porch while I was at work. Eagerly following tracking until it showed the computer had been delivered, but me not seeing any evidence of it.
I called the seller, who told me it had been signed for, and even gave me the name of the signer...which I did not recognize. Several days passed in puzzlement. On a hunch, I called the organization next door to my workplace and asked them if that person worked there. She did! But, she didn't bother to call me about the misdirected delivery. :-( I walked over there and collected my notebook in its identifiable shipping box. I think she was hoping it wouldn't be claimed by anyone.
So, in my case at least, ANYONE could sign for it, legitimately or not.
USPS tracking should say whether or not signature service was purchased for the package. You will see it under product information in tracking page. However, I had a signature package ones that didn't state that on the tracking page. So it may be a gamble.
As I understand it, unless your state requires signature, nobody is required to ship with signature until March 27.
If you aren't home, usually the package is taken back to the post office with a notice left in your mailbox. Not sure if they will require you to pick it up or if they will attempt delivery again. The notice will tall you. Best thing to do is to have it held for pickup after you get that notice. Can probably do this on the USPS.com website. Realize you won;t be able to pick it up until the next day.

I forgot. USPS.com has a service called informed delivery. It's not available everywhere but it is in a lot of places. Check to see if it is available in your zip code and sign up for it.
You might be able to "sign" for it digitally as long as it doesn't require and adult signature. In that case, you may be able to mark it "hold for pickup".
