Fedex was even more annoying when I RMA'd a harddrive.  They would only deliver to the home address and required a signature.  And they couldn't confirm a time of delivery, so I actually wasted a lot of time getting back home, waiting for them only to realise they had come half an hour before I arrived (even though they had an appointed time).
They do do "hidden drops", ie stick parcel at the back door etc, but this doesn't work with an apartment block with secured entry...

As for how I got it, I realised that I could just leave the letterbox unlocked and get the delivery guy to strip the packaging and put it in the mailbox - honestly hadn't thought of that beforehand

Whoa okay that even more annoying and ridiculous, they just should offer a evening send then but I suppose that would require extra work ;A;

But I'm glad that you solved it in the end and it makes me wonder... they can't tell me that two PS3 games won't fit in my mailbox >.<
