I've heard of packages being left with neighbors, usually in smaller or rural communities but I can't imagine it's actually legal in the US. I trust some of my neighbors to bring me my mail and/or packages if there was an issue delivering them but there are a few that I absolutely do _not_ trust, either because they would just keep the package for themselves or throw it out, or because I don't see them often and they might just plain forget about it for a few days or weeks.

In Germany you get (or are supposed to get – delivery is not getting better as the competition resulted in a slow race to the bottom) a piece of paper telling you which neighbor has the package. You don’t have to remember the package as the neighbor (though I usually ring their door bell if they haven’t come to get it after a day or two).
