Just another day UPS was supposed to deliver an item with signature. I needed the item. I was waiting for driver, but even if I wasn't, my whole family was at home. Looked outside, bam! UPS label "sorry we missed you" on the door.

Well, at least you got the notice.

I was in the same situation at my parents' house. Three people in the house, loud doorbell, my mom doing whatever in the garden. UPS says no-one was home and they left a notice. Didn't leave anything.

And unless they had an electric truck or something similarly quiet, they didn't even drive down the street.

To the other commenter's point up the thread, I've never had such an experience with deliveries made by Amazon.

I live in an apartment, and if I have a bigger item that won't fit in the mailbox, only Amazon will call me up to see if they can deliver it in hand. They usually call anyway instead of defaulting to the mailbox, but not always. Other delivery services will never call, just leave a slip in the mailbox, if that.
