Im my experience, you will run into the same FedEx - unable to deliver
unless you actually sit on a chair in front of your house whole day
nonsense - with anyone shipping with FedEx.

I had failed deliveries with Dell and NewEgg just this last 2019/2020
years. Couple of times, I was even at home - they just did not bother to
ring/knock/call. If you can get it delivered to an office with ever present
receptionist willing to receive/sign the docket - they will most likely
deliver.

Sadly, IMHO, there is only company with guaranteed hassle free, fast and
reliable delivery, Amazon. If you are not planning to be around and want to
be sure, Amazon can deliver to number of pickup locations all over the
place.

You are not alone with FedEx issues. UPS can figure it out.
