lol nice!
or take the FEDEX approach and don't knock at all but slap a "missed delivery" note on the door.
They actually did that to me once. No knocking, no doorbell, the driver just walked up without the package and slapped the note on my door.

Happens to me every time, literally every time. That's why I always prefer FedEx...

Had that happen with parcel force or royal mail over here (one of the two, it was a red van anyway!)

My bedroom window at the folks old house used to look over the front door, was waiting for a package to arrive, saw the van stopping outside, went downstairs and there was a card through the door, opened the door and the van was just driving off. Wankers!

This is pretty funny. I had something like this happen a few years ago, with a UP Postal Service Priority Overnight shipment. I was waiting, waiting, finally went out to the mailbox, there's the "You Weren't Home" card.

I went to the post office, they said I must've stepped out and just missed them. I patiently explained that the address was a retail business with clearly posted store hours 9am to 5pm, and "not home" was "not possible".

There response was more or less "eh, whatever".

Moral: They're all bad.
