As I've said before, I've had considerable trouble with FedEx, but UPS and USPS have been fine. About a month ago, I received a package from FedEx, and I had to sign for it. The guy had me spell my first and last names so he could enter them into his handheld device. When I opened the package, it was for stuff I hadn't ordered. Looking at the address label, I saw that it was for my neighbor - different house number and different name.
A couple of days ago, FedEx left a note on my door - unable to deliver; need signature. Yesterday, the same guy arrived and had me spell my names as he entered them into his device. I brought the box inside and checked the label - for my neighbor again. Aside from the label, the street address was written on the box with Magic Marker - large. Don't these people have to be able to read?

Jerry, what you got is an "Indirect Delivery" It probably needs a signature but could be from a neighbor. The driver should always leave a note for the recipient. It's a service offered by FEDEX. You can always decide not to sign for it and the driver should always ASK if you will accept for neighbor.
There's also the chance that your neighbor had previously told the driver to take it to you if he's not home.
