Well, have you tried

1) simply going over, knocking on the door at apartment A, and
politely explaining that a package addressed to you had mistakenly
been delivered to them, and you appreciate them signing for it, but
could you please have it now?

If that doesn't work, you might try going through the apartment
management. And if you still can't get your package (intact), ask
FedEx about your legal recourse - obviously they have dealt with the
situation before. You will probably have to get the sender involved.
And if you paid for whatever this was with a credit card, I feel
reasonably sure that you can dispute the charge and insist that the
vendor send you a new whatever-it-was and take it upon themselves to
retrieve the package, as they made the mistake in addressing it.

What's that weird stuff about PGP with the jumbled letters?
See http://www.pgp.net/pgpnet/pgp-faq/ for the answer.
