If we get a package in the mail that our carrier Karla can't stuff into our mailbox at the end of the driveway, she will bring it up to the door and set it on our little concrete stoop. She will then ring the doorbell but not wait for anyone to answer. The FedEx driver does exactly the same thing with packages he delivers.
The UPS guy, on the other hand, does not ring or knock, which in this case is rather odd. I think he would definitely want to alert someone inside the house to the delivery since he is evidently very worried about security. I can tell he is uncomfortable just leaving packages by our door because he always hides them. Under the welcome mat.
This has been going on for years, so he obviously thinks his little trick is fooling everybody. Now, I suppose some people might dismiss a six-inch lump under the mat as a giant ant hill or the result of rodent activity, but nothing spells there's-no-package-on-this-porch like a large cardboard box wearing a welcome mat.
Do they teach this in UPS driver school?
