4. I just had a medical package in a cooler/one day delivery left sitting on my front steps by FedEx.

I don't know how long it had been sitting there, as no one knocked at the door or rang the bell.

At least the USPS rings the bell or knocks on the door to make sure I know it is there.

I'm sure the added postage is sufficiently high enough to warrant attention be paid for timely delivery and to ensure the recipient is notified it has arrived. Sheesh!
