I have had that disaster before too when my parents were on vacation. Now that I work from the house, it usually isn't a problem unless I have to meet a client somewhere or be in Court. The last time I remember this happening was with UPS when I ordered my bow and accessories several years ago. I went online and told them to hold it at the warehouse and that I would pick it up the next day. I got to the warehouse the next day before they closed at 5:00 and was told that my online submission came too late because the item was already on the truck. However, they would hold it for me now and not return it to the seller, so that I could pick it up the next day. Man, was I pissed.

Now, if I ever think I am not going to be home to receive a package, I have it sent to my parents, both of whom are home most of the time and I tell them about when the package will be arriving. Did that when I ordered a new computer for the office and went on vacation to Florida the very next day.

Always look for a way around the problem. However, in your case Rubicon, I would tell the seller where to go since they are so unhelpful with shipping the camera to your work.
