I've been using Shopping Express for a while now, and can say that's definitely not true. Many of my deliveries have arrived while I'm at work.

When you place an order, there's a checkbox to indicate whether you want to require a signature, and a blank field for delivery instructions. It's up to you: if you don't request a signature, they'll happily leave your order wherever you ask them to.

(UPS/FedEx, on the other hand, will just leave a delivery note on my door. Depending on how risk-averse the sender and driver are feeling that day, I can sometimes leave a signature for the next delivery attempt.)
