FedEx ground kinda makes me mad because they don't always ring the bell but they are usually here by noon. Glad you got the package. Design is pretty.
you can sign up for this online service with both fedex and ups. then, like debra said, you can track it by it's tracking number. if it does go astray, you know approximately where and can report it to the delivery company and the seller. sometimes websites charge extra for a 'signature needed' delivery and sometimes boxes are sent out without signatures being needed, so it's wise to keep on top of it yourself.
if you have a really large mailbox you can request a squishy. maybe they'll do that for you.
