No, you don't need to be home to receive your Atome Bakery box since we ship it without a required signature for delivery. Our Atome Bakery boxes are packed with dry ice insulation, and sometimes with additional gel packs, to keep the items cold for several hours upon delivery. However, you should plan to unpack your Atome Bakery box and put the products in your freezer as soon as possible. After the carrier confirms delivery, you are responsible for the box.
