Snow White Report post Posted May 5, 2004 Hello there my international peeps! Ok, so a good Q was raised and I thought I'd get some input from those that have ordered from us before. Do international orders require signature for delivery? Thank you for your feedback in advance you guys. Nella Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ViolentKitten Report post Posted May 6, 2004 Hello! No, I didn't have to sign for mine. Sometimes I do if I have to go to the PO to pick it up, but if it's small enough to fit in my mail box at home they just pop it in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melopomene Report post Posted May 6, 2004 Thanks. I think this is partially for my benefit. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. Can anyone here give me approximate postal time for O/S orders? Time (from postage marked date, I guess) and destination would be great... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

littleblu Report post Posted May 6, 2004 I signed for mine in the UK - but perhaps that was just because I happened to open the door when the guy arrived... but come to think of it there was definately a list with time of delivery and stuff on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allamanda Report post Posted May 6, 2004 (edited) I'm in England and both of my parcels were left on my doorstep (hidden from road and relatively safe). No signature required. Delivery was with 7 days of postmark. Edited for typo Edited May 6, 2004 by allamanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gothabillywench Report post Posted May 6, 2004 In Oz & no signature req'd. But wouldn't mind if i had to. My postie usually just puts it on out front doorstep & knocks- he's backing out the driveway by the time I get to the door- he just likes to alert us to it's presence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joey Report post Posted May 6, 2004 I'm in Canada and I didn't have to sign for mine. It just appeared in my mailbox. It was mailed out on April 8th and I received it on the 19th. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tesseljoan Report post Posted May 6, 2004 I am still stunned at the idea of post(wo)men leaving parcels on your doorstep.... I worked as a postperson here and I would've gotten sacked if I did that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

clephan Report post Posted May 7, 2004 I've been at home both times my parcels arrived (sheer luck, I'd normally be at work!) and they were just handed over to me, no need to sign. However, if I wasn't there, they would have left me a card saying they'd tried to deliver, and I would need to pick it up from the local post office depot.

red_jezebel Report post Posted May 7, 2004 I'm still waiting for my second order (made April 4th) but my first order was delivered fine last year. No signature required and no additional costs (thankfully). The postie we have is usually very good and will post a card through the door if he cant get it through the post-box (if we're not in) saying it needs collection. Not all posties are so good though and signing for it wouldn't be a bad thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morrighana Report post Posted May 7, 2004 I'm in Canada and I didn't have to sign for mine. Ditto. Mine was too big to fit in my mailbox, so it was stuck between my screen door and main door. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
any_old_actress Report post Posted May 7, 2004 i'm in canada, and would almost prefer having to get a signature at this point as i'm not getting any of the packages being sent out to me. (thanks for letting me know about my re-shipment in such a timely manner nella!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Astarte Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Out of curiousity, has anyone had to pay customs on a package from BPAL who lives in the UK or is International. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clephan Report post Posted May 10, 2004 Out of curiousity, has anyone had to pay customs on a package from BPAL who lives in the UK or is International. I've had two packages sent to the UK, and neither had a customs charge on them. However, I think I must be lucky as pretty much everything else I ordered in the last year from the US has been caught Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allamanda Report post Posted May 10, 2004 (edited) Out of curiousity, has anyone had to pay customs on a package from BPAL who lives in the UK or is International. Not so far, touch wood. Edited to add: It does happen though. I remember someone (ViciousViolet maybe?) saying customs had held her package and charged duty.
