Just so you know. I had a baby pied male shipped to me a year ago. It so happened we got an unexpected cold snap right when he shipped. I was home, on the couch all day waiting.
The FedEx driver dropped the box on my snow covered deck and walked away. No knock, no nothing. If I had been in the kitchen, or gone to the restroom, or anything else so I wasn't 3 feet from my door, I would never have known he arrived and he would have frozen to death.
As it was, he was terribly cold and stiff when I got him out of the box, he made it but still. I went online to check, and I was supposed to sign for him, the driver marked it as hazardous delivery, or some such, and there was no signature. Apparently, they can do that if there is like a barking dog or other obstacle. The driver had no excuse for not getting my signature.
