congrats on the new purchase... i used to live in an apartment and i just leave a post it note on my door with instructions if im expecting something from fedex. if im staying home, i just write "to fedex guy, please ring doorbell, im waiting for a package" i was on the 3rd floor so its not like some random kids would just ring the doorbell to annoy me. if i wont be home to receive the package, i call fedex with the tracking number and i let them know that i will be picking it up from their office, they are usually open till about 8 or 9 pm. i do this because there was a lady in the leasing office that gives me a hard time everytime a package is left for me.
