JACKxRAWR tells us more.
OP here. The bastard didn't even knock and left the package in a post office the other side of town, even though I live five minutes from a sorting office.

i hate usps
If it's FedEx get used to it
I had a mail man pull up to my mail box look up at me standing at my balcony, I was expecting a package heard him coming so stepped outside so he would know I was home, when he waved at me put my mail in the box and drove off I figured, "Oh well didn't come today" I went to the mail box and found a slip, "Sorry you weren't home and we couldn't deliver your package"
That would have been a fight.
Yeah UPS does that daily. Lazy pricks.
I have had this happen to me far too many times. I've learned to just go straight online and contact whatever company is delivering so they can tell their drivers to turn around and make the delivery asap.
It is now a common trick by FedEx, UPS, and the post office. I have gotten those messages when drivers forget to load the package on the truck, or just get busy/lazy so they don't want to come to your house, etc. At one company I worked for Saturday deliveries were a 50/50 shot, with "no one was there" notes even though it was a 24x7 massive operation with no less than a couple of hundred people at all times. My local post office says for Sunday deliveries (Amazon does this) it is handled by another branch and they get 4 times the complaints every Monday. Make sure to call them and complain, have them acknowledge the problem, and try to get them to do something, like make a special trip to deliver it, reimburse you for shipping, etc. They know it is happening

Yo that's messed up. I hate when they knock and only hang around for like 3 seconds before leaving.
That sucks, OP. I've found a lot of delivery drivers don't even bother knocking, and just assume no one is home during working hours, and fill out the slip.
