Where do you live that delivery people knock on doors? Here in the US, they just toss it on your doorsteps and run.
I'd actually be fine with this.
Here they take the bloody parcel with them and I have to drive 5km away to some shithole convenience store to collect it. It is very much not convenient for me.
It's specific to DHL in America. DHL presence in the US is mostly used for international shipping, domestic rates are pricey. So if something is shipped via DHL it's often something expensive that requires a signature. (I have never received something from DHL that didn't require a signature if they were delivering to end point). They also are overstrained like every other delivery operation... so they just slap a sticker on your door and move on... unless you happen to be right by the door and can catch them.
