Around here it seems to depend on the postman. My regular postman usually leaves me a note if i'm not at home to pick up the package(s) later on the same day they are being delivered. But any of the non-regular postmen leave me a note about the arrival of the package the next day, not the day of the original delivery day.

So most of the time i can pick up the packages the same day even if i haven't been at home when the postman first tried to deliver them.
