I'm in the same camp. The single time they actually delivered it to me without saying I wasn't home they had actually delivered it one street over.
I spent 72 hours waiting (3x24 periods they told me to wait and call back tomorrow while they "investigated") for a $1300 package. Initially they said it must have been stolen and its my loss, to which I said "no I was home and near the front door all day, you didn't deliver it". Pretty absurd they can't just look where he was when it was "delivered" and deal with it. Or maybe they can and they just don't bother.
Eventually the person actually called me using my number on the box and said it was delivered there.
Still no recourse from FedEx, whom I have not informed I got the package in the end.
I’d quote this as the best federated peer-to-peer package delivery. Distribute in a nearby city and it will get to its destination eventually. Fortunately, your personal info is written in the clear for everyone to see, and anyone can open the box.
