    I think OP is upset that it says he has to be there when it arrives. Makes me wonder if it’s related to what they ordered, or if there’s been a lot of deliveries stolen from the neighborhood recently.

      It’s standard practice unless you pay for a “service” that lets them put it by the curb or your garage or designated package box.

      Since I live in an apartment on the third floor, I usually have packages delivered to a nearby package point, but there was a special on cat litter and the package is too big to fit so I have to be home.

      Which wouldn’t have been a problem if it had shipped yesterday like it was supposed to, thus arriving today where I’m home all day anyway, but I have to leave tomorrow afternoon and won’t be back again within the time window so HOORAY! 😮‍💨

        Here it’s cheaper to get it delivered to a pick-up place near my home. I’ll just pick it up on the way home from work, almost as easy as getting stuff from my own mailbox.

          Same here, but my package is too big for that to be an option this time, so has to be home delivery this time…
