Speaking as a someone who worked for the post office at Xmas times throughtout my time at Uni, I'd guess that your postie didn't fancy lugging the parcel around during his/her round and left it back at the office to start off with. Hence if you'd opened the door in time, they'd have been shafted. The idea is that you drop round the office, pick it up and lug it home yourself (we weren't allowed to this at Xmas time tho').
Of course, I could be totally wrong about this. Maybe I shouldn't be so cynical. Tbh, I actually enjoyed those Xmas jobs, altho' the hours were a bit of a killer. One year I worked 6am-1pm as a postie, and 2pm-10pm at Wimpy right thru the hols :o/
