I live in a much smaller city (~50k) in the US. The post office will leave anything, anywhere. Once in a while I need to go downtown to the main post office to pick stuff up. Takes them forever to find my packages, and there's always a big line. Terrible. UPS/FedEx packages that need a signature are a pain, you can't do anything until they try to deliver at least once. Then you have to drive to the hub which is either by the airport or the next town over and pick it up, their hours suck. FedEx lets you re-route your package to the local Walgreens, which I really find useful.

Sign up for MyChoice or the Fedex equivalent, they're free for basic stuff like this. If you really want to you can prerelease a package but it essentially indemnifies the company from any delivery problem unless you have proof it never made it to your door step. You can also redirect them to a store or partner location before they attempt delivery at all through UPS's service and I think Fedex has a similar option.
