Thats common with FedEx and UPS. If no one is there they "self release" and just leave the package.
Problem is that if you have not signed the waiver and the package is stolen, then they are on the hook for the value of the package.
I am on a Austin Healey list where this happened last week to a guy who shipped a overhauled gearbox to a customer. The UPS guy left the package at the door where it sat for 5 days since the customer was out on a business trip. When he returned it was not there, so UPS gets to pay for a new gearbox for this guy...
Never check the "self release" box on the form...
