Federal Express and UPS have rules about it.  The sender can
indicate that the package is to be left if there is no one home,
or can require a signature.  If UPS expects a signature, they
leave a note, and you can either plan to be there, pick up the
package at a UPS office, or leave the note out saying it's ok to
leave the package when you're not there.  I'm fairly sure neither
service will leave a package without signature unless they've been
instructed to do so.  (And when you tell FedEx to do this, you
are also releasing them from liability if the recipient never
gets the package.  I don't know about UPS.)

So it's hardly fair to blame UPS and FedEx for doing this.
