the other thing you can do is leave a note for fedex saying to leave the package (and where to leave it) and that the note will serve as your signature acceptance. print your name, sign it and date it. leave it on the door, and they will use that as your signature. i've done it a bunch of times. of course, this is assuming you have a place on your porch or behind a gate or something where you'd be comfortable having them leave it. i have a feeling you might not want to just have your phone hanging out on your porch while you're gone, but in case you have a place where you feel okay with them leaving it, you can always do that. just fyi.
