I ordered a Hantech 200MHz scope and FedEx delivered it by leaving it in front of our detached garage, which made it invisible from the house. Later that evening after a two hour torrential rain, I started to back my car out of the garage and, for some unknown reason, I stopped, got out of the car, and looked behind it. There was my soggy box that narrowly escaped being pancaked by my car. Fortunately, the internal styrofoam clam shell packaging kept the scope dry, but Fed Ex got an earful about their delivery.
From then on, every package from Fed Ex has been left on the back porch.

I used that Fed Ex feature when I found myself in a similar situation with my QCX mini shipment.
They just ignored it.
?When I returned home I found it sitting slightly soggy in the driveway having been delivered on the day predicted when it was shipped.
