So I have a doll coming in tmrw that was mailed express mail international usps. It says nothing about signature but I really don't know. Does anyone one else have any idea :(

Not totally positive... but I think if it is EMS it would have to be signed for.

my resins from moc had to be signed for (but i THINK i might have asked to sign for them) but my hujoo from junky spot didnt need to be signed for. both were shipped with usps so I never know what to expect =/ none of my other usps mail had to be signed for either so i would guess that you wont have to.

I don't think you have to sign for it - but it's been a while since I've gotten an EMS :) It's one of those, sometimes you have to, sometimes you don't kind of things.

EMS always has to be signed for unless the sender 'waived' the signature. Most companies don't waive this feature, but it really just depends. I ship every day, internationally and domestically, and I never waive the signature, because if you do, then the insurance is pretty much void. (Basically, you're telling the shipping company to just 'leave' the package at the door or on the porch, and once you let them do that, they are no longer 'responsible' for the package---it's out of their hands.)

They almost always try to get you to 'waive' the signature when you ship, since it's better for them in every way, but it's really bad for the shipper!

Unless your company waived the signature, you'll most likely need to sign for it. You wouldn't happen to know if they waived it? ^.~
