what you should do is if it doesn’t show up before you leave,put a note on the door saying that there is a little bin behind your house,also say in the note for him to ask him to put the package in the bin,and also include on it why you need him to do that just in case he dont want to.if it still ain’t there when you get back,call the shipping company that is shipping it,there you go!

did you get a tracking number?
if you did then go to the ups website and track your package

simple -call them and tell them to tell the driver to hold the package/not deliver it to your house because you are leaving and don’t want the package stolen or damaged …..

have it held there at the postal office in your area and resent out on a different day when you know you will be home or to sign for the package ..

tell your post office to hold your mail while your gone!!
