What happens if I'm not home when my AirPods arrive?

i recently ordered apple airpods. and it says "Please make sure someone is present when the delivery arrives." Although i chose the delivery so it would be there when i got home, because i most likely wont be home when it gets delivered. What do I do? Will they not give me the package.

How do i view the shipping notice and it says i don't have a carrier assigned yet. i also do not know where their depot is


You’ll get the shipping notice when the item ships.


The notice will mention whether or not a signature is required.


If a signature is required, the notice will provide you with options that will indemnify the carrier from losses, if they leave the package without a signature and it gets stolen.


If the carrier offers to hold the shipment at their depot—most do—they’ll provide the location of the depot.


This will usually be contained in the shipping notice, with links to the carrier’s website for details and changes.

Based on Personal Experience:

When delivered, and I'm not home, my products have always been left with a slip at the front door, informing me to go to the distribution center to pick these up. It is for Security purposes, and the choice is made on Apple's part demand.
