It all depends on the driver. Fortunately, I have a good one for UPS, and he knows me well. He has to drive over 0.7 miles of unpaved road and then up my 1/4 mile driveway to get to the house, and he has never failed me. He knows how to put any parcels in a safe place if I am not here. Yes, I have signed a waiver of signature. The USPS delivery person is very good too. The FedEx drivers here are unpredictable, and always seem to arrive when I am away, so I get notes on the door from them. DHL (when they were delivering here) was just awful - leaving parcels at the wrong address, or just putting them somewhere on the driveway. So if you ship anything to me, use UPS or USPS for best results.
