We probably get at least 2 packages a week from Amazon delivered. I'm home 1/3 if not 1/2 the time, frequently outside playing with kids. We also keep water, small bottles of Gatorade, kids juice, vitamin water, etc., in a garage refrigerator. I started offering our UPS guy drink on a really hot day and typically now do the same for contractors, etc. Started doing this just to be nice but it has paid dividends. I know for a fact that multiple trips have been made to our house for signature required items that otherwise could have required me to pick up after a couple of attempts. When we're not home, packages are always on the porch. If there is a hint of precipitation, everything is wrapped bullet proof. Treat people the way you'd like to be treated.
This has been my experience as well...be nice to them and they'll take care of you.
