I can't imagine even HF sending items that had to
have additional insurance, without a signature confirmation/acceptance.

I have had packages that said on them signature required left by UPS
on my porch. I am almost always home and often UPS will leave
packages on the porch without even ringing the door bell.

Same here. It has happened too many times to me. I've long since given up
on UPS, even for my business. All of my suppliers are told not to ship via
UPS, and any outgoing deliveries are sent via other couriers.

I am GLAD they leave the packages on my porch! You know how much of a pain
in the ass it is to come home and find a slip telling you that "We attempted
to make a delivery" and then you have to haul ass 30 minutes away to try and
pick up the package before the place closes?
