I find it exceptionally bizarre that they just leave parcels on doorsteps.
Here, if it doesn't fit into your letterbox, it goes back to the post office and you get a card saying you have to go get it.
I live in a REALLY small town, where most everyone knows everyone else. My home is in a very large, old farmhouse that has been converted to delightfully good sized apartments, full of the charm and character of yesterday. Like gingerbread trim, stained glass windows, but with the niceties of today, such as roomy master bedrooms....
The postal worker has a key to the foyer where the 4 letterboxes are housed, and packages, if small, are left there, or if large, are placed in front of the respective apartment door. There are 4 apartments, one is currently vacant, another is home to an elderly woman, the 3rd is mine, and the fourth is home to a young couple with a small child. They have, shall we say 'issues' that are in part the reason why they're being evicted (aside from the fact that they have a problem with the idea of - gasp! - paying rent) I've lived in this house for many many years and have never, 'til now had a problem with parcels being delivered. A sign of the times, I suppose. A lesson learned.
