My experience in the city is that USPS will have a key to apartment buildings and walk ups. I've seen out door mailboxes but everywhere I've lived has had them behind the front door. This means packages are always delivered behind atleast one locked door. FedEx and UPS will ring all the bells and if you're unlucky and no one is home it'll get left in a bush or you'll have to reschedule. I've never had a package stolen, but I've seen the notes left on the front door by unfortunate neighbors.
