      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.
