Do Newegg shipping just leave stuff on the front porch?

Good thing I was home all day today because I was checking my tracking periodically and it showed that my package is out for delivery.

Fine and dandy, so I am upstairs chilling on my computer when I checked the status a couple of hours later and it showed that it was "Delivered" on the front door.

I immediately went downstairs to the front porch and there it was. My package just sitting outside in plain sight. I didn't hear a doorbell or anything.

I mean.. is this common practice? Seems kind of risky. 0.0

Theres no such thing as NewEgg shipping. NewEgg hires UPS and DHL and Fedex to deliver their stuff.

Unless you specify "signature required" then those above listed private companies with their own policies can do as they like.

For reference, I do not know if NewEgg even has signature required on their checkout page.

Happens to me all the time with UPS.
FedEx leaves a note on the door for attempted delivery even if I was inside the house waiting. ^_^

Usually it depends on the cost of the item as to whether it needs to be signed for.

They once left a note on my screen door with the inside door open and me sitting 10 feet away watching tv. :D

Damn ninjas.

UPS and FedEx both leave packages by the door at my house. If I know they are coming and I think of it I leave the garage unlocked with a note on the door to leave it in the garage.
