When do you need to sign for a package?

I've ordered international a few times and never had to sign, granted the packages were pretty light, is there a weight limit that you have to sign for? Like if a package is weighs say 5 grams you're golden but over 10 you need to sign for?

Thanks for any help!

It's nothing to do with weight limit. It's a request by the sender so your package is more likely to reach you and not get stolen or lost in the mail. Signature guarantees it was delivered to the person.

Usually just when it has tracking

If you're someone who uses Tor to make a purchase and then wait for it to come /That simple/, then don't sign.

A lot of people do sign for packages but they know every detail about what they're doing they have no worries it's a trap. If you're not one of these people then don't do it and order from a vendor who will ship with no signature required.

Unless the vendor said he was going to require a signature then you shouldnt have to, unless LE is about to raid your house

international, if the seller requires it.

Nah nothing to do with weight bud, sometimes it just happens. Sometimes the vendor forgets to waive the signature on the label, or sometimes he DID waive the signature, yet the mailman still asks for one. Both situations I wouldn't worry about and personally I always sign. Don't get paranoid if they ask for a signature when it's clearly waived on the label. Postal workers deliver so many packages/letters each day, it's very easy for them to overlook that tiny checked box that says Waive Signature.

HOWEVER, I am not sure the procedure on international packages or if it differs from domestic. Take what I said assuming the procedure is the same as domestic (and your in the USA).
