Where does your package go on arrival to your house? (domestic, at a house)

If its just an envelope will they put it in your mail box or carry it up to your door and leave it on a porch or by an entrance?

I know you dont need to sign for it but will your mail man attempt to bring it to your door and ring your door bell...?

I hope they just put it in your mail box...Lets say 10 pills.What to expect and where to look for this quantity..

Have you never received any mail at all before?  Lol...

It really depends on your house, what kind of mailbox you have, and your mailman.  Most of the time I don't think they will ring your doorbell, it would take too long to do that.  If you have one of those communal mailboxes with a key, they will leave a key in your box to get it from one of the larger boxes if it's too big.  If you have a standard, out on the street individual mailbox, they will most likely try to stuff it in there.

I don't think anyone can give you an answer for certain without knowing a lot more details, details that you shouldn't be divulging anyway.

The package size also depends on the vendor.  Lots of variety in shipping choices between vendors.

I don't know, it depends. Where do your C5 envelopes (Most used shipping package on SR) usually go?

If it doesn't need to be signed for and is from USPS they are just going to put it in with the rest of your mail goes.  If it is a large order (and it shouldn't be if its around 10 pills unless they are frisbee sized pills), then we don't really know where its going to go, depends on your housing set up and mailman. 

All of my large sized shipments ALWAYS receive the "attempted delivery" status and I end up having to pick it up at the post office (the postman has no idea how to find my apartment its annoying), but also every large sized package I've ever gotten has always required a signature.

My small shipments end up in my small apt mailbox in a separate building that I need a key to get in to.

I live in single family house, letters go in mailbox, small packages get left between storm door and entry door.  My mailman is awesome and will leave boxes in my rear porch.  I heart him, he hearts me

/\ Youre lucky to have a mailman that loves you. Most will get annoyed if the package wont fit in your box. annoyed mailmen are something I like to avoid. Any extra attention to your mail is never good I think 10 pills will fit in most mailboxes?!  lol
