A suggestion would be that apartments, senior complexes, any place that has an office that is open with someone in attendance, offer to accept the packages temporarily until the addressee returns home. The addressee could tell them to expect a delivery on a certain day. I am sure many will say that the office then becomes responsible, but if the office then phoned the addressee, they must pick it up ASAP. This would avoid things sitting by front doors. While on the subject of things sitting out by someones front door I can tell you that during a recent post office food drive, I sat a sack of groceries by the mailboxes as instructed, early in the morning. Within a short period of time, after papers were delivered, they were gone, long before the mail was delivered. I guess someone needed the sack themselves & that was the only consolation. BTW, we are talking a Senior Housing Complex here.

I wish delivery drivers would ring the bell once or twice before just leaving the package.

Both FedEx and UPS can coordinate shipments to delivery centers or 'franchise' stores. Work with your shipper.

FedEx on Johnson Dr, or FedEx/Kinko's (near Home Depot)

UPS store on Santa Rita Rd.
