Have your stuff sent UPS.
I live in a civilized community. They deliver stuff AND knock on the door.
Damn, when I lived in VT they didn’t deliver anything to the house. It was at boxes 1/4 mile away.
I do that when I have a choice. many times when it’s “free shipping” they pick the carrier and you just have to roll with it.
Or I pick ups/fedex and they ship it sure/smart post, where UPS/fedex dumps it on USPS for last mile delivery.
