I do this sometimes if i'm working for an extended period at one place but I freelance so it's not really the best idea. I also work from home and was working from home that day but did not see the delivery person. I had also just received a different package that day and checked to make sure the gate was ajar but someone closed it as it was closed when i left that evening.

You can request to receive UPS delivery by picking it up at a UPS office. You can request to pick up US mail at the post office instead of having them deliver it at your home. If you do this, go to your post office and meet the staff so they know who you are. Explain what you want and ask them how to do it.

Wow...that's amazing. I wonder if they go into short state of dormancy to survive such extremes. I've only ordered from U.S. sellers and they've all slapped a huge live orchids! FRAGILE label on the box. All the boxes were in good condition so I'm pretty grateful that ppl take the time to read the big red letters/label.
