You're technically not supposed to have them ship to you home for this reason.
Drivers can be careless, they can leave your package at the wrong doorstep (there was a thread last year where this had happened to someone) where they can be stuck in the heat/cold all day until the owners of the household pick up the package (and hopefully return instead of opening it to find that there is a live reptile in their home now) or FedEx fixes their mistake.
