I live in a condo complex in a security building. Both Fed-Ex and UPS used to call me from downstairs to see if I was home and if not they'd leave a message if I wasn't home. They don't do this any more. They'll leave notices on my mailbox. Some times they left the package outside on top of the mail boxes where any one walking down the street could've stolen it. They've also managed to get into my building and left a package in front of my door which is more secure but it could've been stolen without my knowledge.

Lately I've had my packages delivered to me at work which works out much better for me any way. My roommate received a notice from Fed-Ex and called them and they told her that they'd call her on her cell phone the next day and let her know when they'd be delivering the package again. She later found another notice on the mailbox. She was home the whole time and no one tried to knock or call. She ended up picking up the package herself.
