So you expect them to keep track of the rules for every building in the world and dynamically adjust at the time of shipment? Sure, they could do this for buildings they have shipped to within x amount of days, and therefore know the policy. However, that would then leak information to those buildings out to potential thieves.

Yes, I expect they can manage a boolean per building and a notice to users when that's marked. Thieves likely already know building delivery policies.

  I don't think that letting you put a room or apartment number is the same thing as advertising that they will deliver to the door. By that same logic it would be false advertising to allow you to list a person's name, but not individually hand out packages to the correct people.

    It's all the same company; Fedex accepted it for shipment in my state but charged me less than half of what they already knew they'd charge for me to pick it up. In fact, when I said I'd rather just have it returned to sender, they said they'd charge me for that, too (and actually more than the original shipment.) > by that same logic it would be false advertising to allow you to list a person's name, but not individually hand out packages to the correct people That's literally what you're paying for if you're shipping to an individual and not a company.

They knew the rules, because they'd set the rules and they were shipping to themselves. The hotel and the on-site FedEx office both confirmed they had an agreement where FedEx would deliver 'last mile'.
