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.
