i'm ordering a wii u video game online, will they put it in my mailbox or porch?
 
everything I've ordered from them was delivered to my mailbox.
 
They usually leave the stuff I order from them on my front porch instead of my mailbox
 
I think that depends on where you live... Here they need your signature to deliver so no they don't leave it in the mailbox.
They hand it to you in hand and if you're not there they'll come back the next day.
 
I have a pillar near my front door & they usually just hide it behind it so people can't see it, but I really think it depends on the shipment method. I get everything shipped express so it's delivered by UPS, FedEx, & Ontrac. Those companies aren't allowed to use mailboxes. Mailboxes by law can only be used by the post office (: Hope this helps!
 
They always leave my packages at my front door.
 
When I order something expensive or in a large packaging, they usually take it to the post office when I'm not in. I have to collect it the next day when that happens, but I suppose it depends where you live.
 
It depends. If the sender asks for a signature they don't. If the item is too large for the mailbox they don't. If it's shipped not somehow through the postal service it's not. Because of that most packages tend to not come through a mailbox except small ones.
 
idk about in US but here if a package is over $50 you have to sign for it so they'll deliver it to your door, and if youre not home you gotta pick it up from post office.

everything that i've bought off amazon has been too big for my letter box, but every time i've bought a game online (not specifially amazon) it's been put in my letterbox
 
I live in Canada, and mailboxes don't really exist in the city I'm living in?

We have mail slots on our doors. So all packages go on the porch.
 
If you're ordering just that, then unless your mailbox is tiny, it should go in there. Otherwise, it could be left outside your door or complex's office (if you live in a dorm or apartment)
 
Well it goes something like this.

If it fits in the mailbox, that's where it goes. If it doesn't, they'll sit it on the porch or in between the door and screen door (if there's room).
They'll also knock, so you will know they're there.

I've only had one instance where my postal lady sat the box, it had a drawing tablet inside, on the grass when it was RAINING. Made me so mad! But luckily it hadn't rained too hard...

They always throw mine through the window

Sorry that was me. I just didn't really care.

I'm in London, and they knock on the door and I sign and pick up, if I'm not in they get put in the parcel box
 
Here they will leave packages in your car, or in your garage, or any where safe they think they can stash it where you'll find it. If they can't they'll try delivering it later.

A wii game would go into my mailbox though, they consider that small enough.
