I have had this problem, on my last show, took like 3 trips for three boxes, on top of that just left them in the front of the door, no knocking, no signing it off (which pisses me right off) anyone can come along and scoop it up...I would rather have our postal service deliever it with a tracking number......sorry to vent...

I've had soooooooo many hosts complain about their entire show contents being left at their front doors that know I almost always have orders shipped to my house.
Once (last house, diff delivery guy) I had a product adjustment that was dropped off & left outside for 2 days in the pouring rain. Nice. It was stoneware & the box was a soggy mess, but (happily) the product was fine. I was not amused!

Oh anything but Canada Post! lol
I live in the country and they don't deliver ANYTHING other than regular mail - so I get a notice that I have to into town & pick it up - three days later after it has been sitting at the Post office for a few days... Most of my customers are rural as well so UPS is great - a real plus to those of us who don't have a "regular' address.Esther
