Will the postman ring?

A good friend ordered me a laptop today. At the moment, parcels are often stolen from us and I'm a little afraid that the laptop will also be stolen. I wanted to ask if the postman was going to ring or not? Or does he put it down in the stairwell?

He rings the bell when he's there

With Dhl e.g. And many other providers you can set this shortly before delivery, whether it should be turned off or something else.

normally the doorbell rings

If there's a shipment tracking with GPS, you can go to the front door in good time and intercept the postman. This is how parcel thieves do it too?

As long as you have not expressly requested that the parcel be parked in the stairwell, the doorbell will always ring. Without your consent, he may not simply park the parcel.

Depends on the postman, but even if he leaves it in the stairwell and it is stolen, he is liable for the loss unless you have given permission to leave it in the stairwell, so he is free from responsibility for loss. But if the parcel service does not have this basic permission, then, as I said, it is liable for this loss.
