My mailman actually puts the box inside my house, since I work during the day. There are big signs on my door that remind him to open the door and put the box in the entryway. The morning we had 9 inches of snow and he couldn't get in my driveway, he brought them back to the PO and called me to let me know where they were.
I prefer to have mine sent to my office; it's closer to the nearest city, and all shipments go through the city anyway so it probably cuts the trip a day. The mail lady/receptionist for our company is now an egg hatching fan, and she kindly calls me the minute they arrive.
