My experience has been that it depends heavily on who's doing the delivery. US Postal Service staff usually do ring the doorbell when leaving packages, and, if nobody answers, they will make an effort to leave it in a concealed location if that's possible. UPS and FedEx people in our area typically leave it by the door without ringing the doorbell, but usually do still try to conceal the package. Amazon delivery people typically leave it out in the yard, next to the sidewalk. I'm guessing the difference has a lot to do with the deliveries-to-time ratio that each company's drivers get.
