I know how you feel man.. I've ordered a ton of stuff on eBay lately and every single time an order comes in, I get a card saying that the guy attempted delivery, ALWAYS when I am not home... I don't even believe the guy came around at all. One day last week I took off a personal day from work... lo and behold, the delivery guy comes into my driveway and starts writing a ticket before even knocking on the door. I Actually opened the window and yelled "AH HAH! I Finally see you!" and went and got my package from him personally.
I guess they are being lazy these days. What a pain in the ass. But also, theres nothing you can do when the shipper specifically requests "Must delivery with signature" so if your not around or anything like that, they have to take the package to the post office.
