[TenTec] Shipping methods

[Paul Kraemer]

The comment was made early that he gets home and finds out they were there 
but left a card and no package because a signature was required forcing him 
to go to their facility during open hours to retrieve a package.  Not so. 
Sign the card and leave it on the door where they left it and the package 
will be left the next delivery day.  Unless you don't want it left unsecure 
then you are in a bit of a pickle.
