My experience with both UPS and FedEx is that the driver leaves the
package at the door.  Sometimes they knock, and it's a race to see
whether they can get into the truck and drive off before I can get to
the door.  Sometimes they just leave it and drive off.  The tracking
site says "Delivered to occupant...." even if a signature was required.

For a $5 book it's no big deal.  For a $500 piece of equipment it is.

I have had one instance of "Can't find address...."  Apology tendered,
delivery postponed.
