The package thing happens to me all the time; I usually have my internet-order packages delivered at work, and several times I've had the email to say they tried and failed to deliver on Saturday and I should collect from the post office -- only to have the package turn up on the Monday. I suspect they don't hold institutional/business recipients to the "come and get it after one failed attempt" standard. (At least, I hope so; I'd hate to think our receiving people were making special trips for my personal packages.)
