That's why I use MyUPS and instruct to either change delivery to work (when the notification that it's coming comes through a day before) or to leave at my place's reception office (or with a neighbor or just release the drop without a signature if that's not available).
For the Note, since it left UPS on Thursday to be delivered on Friday, I logged in, changed the delivery address to my office's, and got my phone by 9.30AM.
