  For me, the private ones call you if you had provided your number. In other cases you get a slip in the postbox to schedule an appointment. If you miss again, you have to go to a post pick up centre. For DHL, if you miss this as well it gets sent to some DHL sorting centre which is quite far away.

  I'm in Serbia and deliverymen always call. There are multiple private courier services, having gotten to know a lot of the drivers they'll sometimes bring me the package to a different location if I'm not home but reasonably close. Online purchases here are mostly paid at point of delivery, in cash if one wishes. So the delivery driver also handles the payment. Hence, they can take some liberties with delivery since the goods haven't been payed for in advance. The cash on delivery and flexibility of couriers is one of the few services that work quite well here, compared to some more developed countries.

  In Belgium and the UK (Scotland), I've never had people leave packages in the open. Even if I explicitly ask them to leave them in the building hallway (because I'm at work) it's 50/50 whether they'll do it.
