I live in a rural area and can't receive packages to my home, only to my PO BOX, and since orders understandably can't be delivered to PO Boxes, I have to use my work address, which is only open business hours Monday through Friday. One of my orders was left outside the door on a weekend. Thankfully it wasn't stolen and I received it. It's not hard to make delivery dates preferred AT the time of purchase BEFORE it goes to the carrier to deliver.
