Excellent advice!
Canada Post offers a FREE service called Flex-Delivery which is well worth the small inconvenience of picking up your valuable shipments at the PO instead of having them stolen by your criminal neighbour.

First you have a thief in your building and possibly on your floor.
Have you reported the theft to the supervisor? Have you filed a police report?
File the police report, but also phone (not email, phone) Intelcom and explain the problem. It is possible that the carrier is also the thief. Or just as likely he is an idiot.
I agree that leaving a package at the door is Bad Service.
Does your building not have a mail room? Why was a delivery person allowed in the building at all ? Who let him in?
When you file the police report, be sure to tell them this was the SECOND time someone was able to access your floor of the building and leave a package. Again, there is a thief on your floor. It might be helpful to your neighbours to give each of them an letter explaining what has happened, with the police report number, and ask them to add any similar reports they may have to the police.
All but one of your floor neighbours may have been robbed too.
I agree the carrier should not have left the package at your door. But I also don't understand why he could not leave it in the mail room. What do your neighbours think about this ?
Do you have tenant's insurance? This might be a good claim, particularly because this is the second package.
tyler@ebay I believe there have been other complaints about Intelcom.

Ebay uses a company referred to as Global shipping,in turn Global shipping has decided to offer great deals on shipping for sellers,They are able to do this by hiring the cheapest delivery business to carry this task out. This cheap business is able to do this task in a cheap way for Global shippin by not paying for many many tools including portable signature machines,pick up addresses for when a customer is not able to personally accept the package.ect..ect.....which leads to a delivery driver driving up to a highrise ,waiting for someone to let him in ,then if he is let in ,going up to the 22nd floor and dropping the package in front of the suite,and on the ground and not knowing that there is a 50000 dollar graded coin inside and then somebody walking by and taking it because the company called global shipping want to work cheap and get a low cost delivery company!!!
And if the delivery person made a different decision, you wouldn't be on this discussion board typing all that.
Believe me, I am sympathetic to your plight, but you need to focus on the right targets here: the delivery person and the thief in your building. eBay, the Global Shipping Program, and Intelcom (which also does a lot of work for Amazon, by the way) are not conscious entities.
Also consider that mailed shipments from the United States will have customs forms attached with the declared value of your item on them for anyone to see.

If a pizza delivery man is unable to contact a customer at the address at least the pizza man is smart enough to walk away with the pizza and nut leave it in the hallway.
Most pizza delivery persons will also figure out that they won't get paid for the pizza if they leave it in the hallway.
But you're correct that it's the pizza delivery person making that decision and not Pizza Hut, Domino's, what have you.

It's a problem with all the carriers at the moment. Signature requirements are just being waived and things just get plonked at the doorstep. That and driver grading metrics means you get lazy delivery attempts. All the driver cares about is scanning as delivered or getting a photo showing it dropped at your location.
With condos I would definitely use flex delivery or get a secondary secure mailing address. Most of the shipping services business usually offer a mail box service that will give you a street address that all carriers will drop off to. For future purchases sellers using the global shipping program are usually identifed in the listing. Clicking on the shipping tab will show that information. You can also ask sellers shipping through the postal service to write Do Not Safe Drop prominently on the box near the shipping label. Postal carriers will usually understand that and card for pickup.

I guess nobody is brave enough to admit who pays Intelcom to make their deliveries,and who made that decision when they knew how Intelcom went about with their delivery methods🐔
You paid Intelcom to make the delivery, didn't you? You paid to have the item shipped to you; some of that money went to Intelcom.
