Here is something i found on a diferent board,Hes an employee of UPS


QOUTE
I work for UPS and no we cannot leave packages at apartments, most duplexes, or any place that does not look secure. Tip: have your shipments sent ground or 2 day air- the chances of them being inspected are VERY small- 99% of the controlled deliveries I have seen are from overnight packages

Or just have them sent USPS, which would be even safer!

Good advice from Fina and Bob. I personally don't like overnight shipping, but I guess I'm just paranoid.

hey fina is this overnight domestic or int that is dangerous????

For some reason, I would think any residence receiving a lot of overnight packages "could" raise some suspicions. Your everyday mailman could probably care less though as he or she are like most of us and just want to do their jobs and go home at the end of the day. the postal inspectors I'm sure think a little differently.
