99% percent of packages say "Carrier leave if no response" meaning, the carrier isn't required to wait for you to answer the door or even make sure somebody is home. If carriers were required to do that then they'd be out delivering until midnight or later. Carriers are not your slaves, they have many hundreds of deliveries to make in a given day. If you don't want packages stolen off of your porch then go to the damn store.
Most of the experiences I've had, they leave it at the door. But it highly depends on what service is delivering the package and what's in the package. They usually will not leave such things as computers, phones, or other pricey electronics. FedEx usually won't leave anything, but they don't always require a signature, they just check if someone is home. UPS is a bit more lax and will just leave it but occasionally will require a signature and won't leave it if it requires a signature. USPS usually will leave it in your mailbox or porch. But the experiences may differ depending on area your from and what's in the package.
