It might have been x-rayed, as the USPS x-rays random packages regardless of origin. If you're thinking the answer is to have "Do Not X-Ray" put on shipping labels, don't do it - it translates to "Please X-Ray Me".
You're right. USPS has a policy where they prefer international express mail to be delivered before noon. My carrier does hers before she hits the morning business route, and then retracks to regular residential mail. Last order, she just bundled up my regular mail too, and I received it at my door, early.
I find that funny because i havent signed for not one package.. they come in my mailbox big box ..they leave a key in my small box and i get that and get it out of the big box.. no signature.. and the ones i get from the ups guy he just leaves and honks...hmmm
I am in Michigan and live in what is considered the "country" even though I am only 5 miles from town. I receive my e-cig supplies from Jersey priority mail. When my carrier comes with packages, she sits in the driveway and honks her horn too. I didn't have to sign anything.
I think that it depends on the size of the package and your mail box. If the package is too large to fit in your mail box as mine was, they honk the horn. If it's too large to fit in the carriers vehicle, they may send another carrier.
Here when the package is too large for the vehicle, they leave you a notice and you have to go to the post office and pick it up.
I do agree that seems how she gave you a "be careful" warning and the package appeared to be opened and resealed, someone was snooping. I doubt it had anything to do with where it came from. I would report the incident to your postmaster.

Go to your local UPS store and set up an account with them to receive your package. They can be authorized to sign for it as well. I have a store near me set up this way and they call me when it arrives. Only costs me 5 bucks for this service no matter how big the package is.
I had the same thing happen, except the second carrier called me and told me she was coming! I thought it to be very strange indeed.

If it was shipped from China using EMS--when it gets the US and passes customs--it then gets picked up by USPS Overnignt Express Mail. In many areas, there is a postal carrier assigned only to deliver Express Mail as it is guranteed to be delivered by either noon or 3 pm.
Now the ones from China have no guarantee--they are placed with all the other ones in your area. Just ask the carrier if they are assigned to deliver all the Express mails for the day. That is why you have two different carriers---------Sun

Maybe they know of the brewing war between North Korea and the USA that will result in all China imports being banned.
If a customs agent doesn't show up at your door and you don't receive a seizure letter, i wouldn't loose any sleep.
People are odd..........say odd things.......your carrier is not exempt of this rule.
Wish you the best.

Sometimes I get two different carriers sometimes not, but then again I am on a walking route so who knows who my mail carrier is on some days. Either way, they have tried to deliver at least twice during the day. I usually miss the first one (before Noon) but am usually home to get the second one (before three). I sign the card when I get it and leave at the mailbox just in case I was to miss the second delivery attempt.
Here's something odd... my order from RuyanDirect came today. My fiance was home to accept it, but the carrier told her that I had to sign for it and left the pink card. Now I have to go to the post office on Monday to pick it up. Two more days of waiting... *sigh*.
On a positive note: came through New York, and tracking doesn't list it being handed over to customs at all...

Well, he checked "registered mail" on the card, so that could be why... still annoyed.
Maybe he was new.

The last time she came she asked me if that was a Janty Stick in your pocket or you just glad to seem!
