I don't get why no one offers the option of no delivery - that is, just keep the parcel at the post office nearest to me, and drop the notification in my mailbox. Better yet, notify me per SMS or email so I can pick it up on the day it got there. That should be significantly cheaper. People who work outside of their home are never there to accept the delivery anyway and end up getting it from the post office, but after having paid for the attempted delivery.
