If it requires a signature, the US Postal Service they won't leave it either.
Yeah it cracks me up when the UPS guy puts the mat over the package.
Interestingly enough, and maybe my situation is different because I live in a condo and not a house...
FedEx will leave a package just leaning on the front door of my condo (not the building, but the door into my residence), while UPS will leave me notes saying they missed me, and will be back tomorrow, on my door frame. If UPS misses you 3 days in a row, I believe they drop the package off at the nearest Post Office.
UPS leaves stuff in front of the door here, and while the neighborhood is pretty good, it still kinda freaks me out a bit since in most neighborhoods I've lived in, that package would be gone quick.
this happened to me about a week or two ago. i bought a few things, with a value of around $200 and it was left in between my 2 doors. i really didnt like the fact they did it and a small part of me wanted to contact them to say i hadnt received the package and it was stolen, but i couldnt do that, but what if? im sure it would be a huge run-around and would take me forever to get the $ or items back.
Believe it or not, it wouldn't. One of my roommates' scheming little brothers, when we were in college, pulled a scam like that on a digital camera. He bought one, UPS delivered it, but he didn't have to sign for it, so he said he never received it; got another one sent to him for free, and then sold one on eBay. He was like 17 at the time, so I can't imagine there being much hassle, if he was able to do it easily.
im as big a schemer as the next guy but not something that could get me in trouble; but i did think about it

i ordered a new Video Card from Newegg and was expecting it when i got home because i checked online for an update. no package...looked all around so i contacted them not UPS. they were in process of sending a new one when like 2 days later a neighbor brought it down (they were like 7 houses down and the address isnt even close). anyway i was honest enough to call Newegg back
PS how has no molestation jokes been made about this title?

Maybe it depends on how the driver feels that particular day. I've had FedEx tell me that no one was home at the same time that I was sitting on my porch waiting for the delivery. I had been tracking the package on the website and knew that it left the FedEx facility near my house and when I went back to the website to check it, it said no one was home.

I've had UPS do that to me. Gone to leave my apartment in the early evening and seeing the note stuck to my door frame saying they showed up and no one was home, even though I had been in my apartment since 2:30 and the note wasn't there when I got home.
