Even better is to ship at UPS. With UPS you can even have it delivered to a local UPS store and pick it up at your convenience.You may re-route your order to an FedEx Access point or their "Clerk desk" to hold it for you, you MAY have to pay a fee, so you'd pick it up at your convenience.
On the FedEx driver "defense", IF the package is not SIGNATURE REQUIRED, them can just live it at the customer address front door. Better pay a few buck for the signature required fee then dealing with valuable stolen packages claims.
