How do you receive packages in the mail when you live in a condo?

Usually dropped off at the concierge desk and they leave you a pickup label on your mailbox.
 
any number of things can happen:
1) If you have a concierge, they could be left there
2) If you have free access (like my building) you might receive a notice on your door that they tried to deliver it. Then you have to go to the local post office and pick it up
3) If there is no signature required they could leave it outside your door and one of your neighbours walked off with it

I say you MIGHT get a notice because I've had the last 2 deliveries via Canada Post sit at the post office with no notice being given. One time I saw on the tracking website that they had tried to deliver it on x date so I went to ask WTF? When I said why didn't I receive a notice on my door or mail box they said "I dunno".....
 
postal workers usually ask the concierge if the owner is available and if it is they will go up to your door and deliver it infront of you. if not then he or she will ask if they could leave the parcel to the concierge. if not then they will put a notice on your mailbox or in your front door.

You are joking right? With UPS, if you aren't home when they deliver, you have to pick the package up at their truck depot in South Etobicoke. Very remote location. At least with the post office, you only have to go to the local post office. If the sender feels that it is something important that he/she doesn't want to be lost, then it needs to be insured, sent by registered mail, or at the very least sent requiring a signature. I've been jerked around by Canada Post, not receiving proper notification that a package is waiting for me, but I still prefer that to going to the UPS truck depot.

Are you worried the sex toys you ordered might be intercepted?

No, I'm not joking. I was not referring to the UPS truck depot.

I was referring to the UPS Store (previously known as Mail Boxes, Etc. and with multiple locations) as a paid option for packaging services.
