They do, at least in the US, [UPS mychoice](https://www.ups.com/us/en/services/tracking/mychoice.page)(w... has a free tier and a paid one) and [https://www.fedex.com/us/delivery/](https://www.fedex.com/us.... In most urban areas you can hold deliveries in local stores. I mean really it is for signing for packages during the workday, but it would work well for this.

Though honestly, I imagine you'd get pretty friendly with your neighbor and just reciprocally transfer things.

Yes, if there is any chance I won't be home on the day something is supposed to be delivered, I will have stuff sent to the UPS store on my way home rather than my apartment. In fact I have something there right now!
I could see this being the premise to a sitcom, next door neighbors actually get to know each other because of this.
