Fedex only delivers every other day to my area and it's usually when everyone is gone, so we finally signed a release saying they could leave it at our house if we're not there. We live in the country and out of sight, doors unlocked so we're not scared someone's going to steal our packages.... But it's the middle of winter and fedex leaves a small package in the snow! my dog loves to play fetch so he tears open the package and uses the serial addaptor as his toy.... So we call Fedex to get insurance or something but they said we signed the release... so it's our responcibility! I didnt think the release meant leaving it outside in snow with animals around. So we say we dont want you to leave packages outside, yet they still do, They set anything on the portch, any time of year, and just leave it. I didnt even notice some off the packages till days later. UPS is good they knock and leave it in the door. Stupid fedex.
