LOL, UPS guy "attempted" delivery 3 afternoons in a row first half of last week, someone was home every time, three notes stuck on the door window, never once rang the doorbell or knocked. Went half way across town today to fetch it, less hassle that way.

This is why you try to get to know the UPS driver.

I know my UPS driver on a first name bases. So he goes out of his way to make sure i have my package.

Now FedEX? they have a screwed up %50 of the time i have used them.

Good point, but how would I do that if I never even get to see the guy. I'd have to camp out on my front step and tackle him as he tried to dodge past with his delivery attempt notice. Hey delivery guy pull up a chair lets have a drink and get to be buddies, later I can introduce you to my doorbell. :p;)

It doesn't matter whether you were inside or not. They don't knock on the door, they often just stick the note on the door and leave. That happened to me a few times when I was actually at home. :|

Sometimes mine doesn't even bother knocking on the door.
At least he leaves the package.
I'll be sitting here on the computer, which is near the door, and I swear he won't even knock then when I go to let the dog out or something my package will be sitting there by the door.
