You sound like a terrible person. There are many reasons outside the seller's control that you'd have to, god forbid, pickup the package at your local post office or branch. Doubly true when it comes to international shipments or shipments requiring a signature.

The seller chooses the method of shipment. It is absolutely not out of their control. They have been paid for a service, and if the package does not arrive at the destination (the post office near the destination is not the destination), they did not render that service. It is no different than if you paid a GC to redo your bathroom, and his sink guy fucked up and didn’t install the drain pipe. It’s the GC’s fault, because they were paid for the job, and they chose and supervised the subcontractor.

  Again, you sound as if you have no concept of the "real world". Not everything will always work exactly the way you want it to. There are a variety of reasons that a package may not be delivered to your door, among other things some of the more common are signature requirements, requiring customs payments, and the post office just not delivering to your house. The sender has no control over when you're going to be home, how your local postal system handles customs, or what the policies of your local post office are. It's more like a contractor not fulfilling your ever wish because it would be against the building code and then you getting upset about it.

    They don’t have to use the post office. They can prepay customs. They can send it signature not required, or they can ship with a shipper that makes a delivery appointment. It’s still the seller’s fault if the goods you paid for don’t arrive at the agreed delivery location, regardless of shipping circumstances.
