Does someone have to sign for EMS package?

[garygooner]

Someone who stays in the same BK condo as me asked if I knew about EMS packages. I told him I'd try to find out.  His question:  He'll be receiving an EMS package soon from Pattaya to his BK condo. Does anyone have to sign for it? If he's out can a condo office worker sign for it on his behalf? What happens if he's out & the office is closed? 

Thanks for responses. I'll probably see him again in the next few days.

EMS are supposed to be "signed for" and if you enter the number into Thaipost trace they will show you who signed for it (usually).

If no one is available, they "should" drop a card of attempted delivery.

If you keep an eye on the tracking  you can see if delivery has been attempted.

The condo office can sign for it.

Recently they just took a picture of me when receiving it instead of a signature.

Yes someone will sign.   I mail something to the Embassy and EMS says the guard signs for it.

The Office knows about what time EMS will arrive,  somebody will be there.

And will that card say that your package is now at 'so and so'  local P.O waiting collection?

Y3s, and you can collect or rearrange delivery.(thats doesnt always happen, areas vary, but that is what is supposed to happen)

If he needs information on his specific delivery he should call EMS customer service to ask the questions pertaining to his issues. And ask the juristic person if they sign for it

Its very nice for you to help him out.

Anyone can sign for it.

Years ago I got a new UK passport from the embassy in Bangkok. For some reason they delivered it to the local shop and they signed for it.

Other more recent deliveries have been signed for by the condo cleaner.

Yes, the wife or guard will sign for that.
