When my Samsung phone was due to arrive, I basically stayed near the front door until it came.
Arm the driver so he can shoot the tbief.
I haven't ordered anything expensive online for quite awhile, but if my memory serves me correctly expensive stuff had to be signed for or picked up at the carrier facility. Once you get a tracking number, there are options to change delivery instructions on the fly. Every once in awhile I'll order something online. I don't even get a knock on the door when the package is delivered...
