Contrast that with the local UPS driver who will place a package on the front steps, knock softly, and then run to his truck to see if he can get away before someone opens the door. Sometimes he doesn't knock, and sometimes he will leave the package in a secluded place on the side of the steps and not post the required "where it is" notice. FedEx will usually ring the bell before they do that. If it's the regular USPS letter carrier she usually will knock loudly before leaving a package, but the relief carriers usually don't. That's why I prefer a PO Box for my mail.
