So I ordered a rMBP off the Apple refurb site (canada) and its supposed to arrived on February 4. I won't be home that day it seems cause I work. What will happen if I'm not there to sign for it? Will it get returned to Apple or get taken to the nearest post office for pickup? I'm in Canada so any Canadian replies would be great. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

Believe FedEx is Apple carrier in Canada. Contact them ASAP to see what is possible at this late date.

If it's Fedex, you can redirect it to a local pickup center or another business location (your office for example) before delivery by tracking it on Fedex.com
For Canada Post, everytime time this has happened to me, they leave a slip that has you go to an outlet in Shopper's Drug Mart that are usually open for terrific hours (I wish the USPS did this, it's great). 7pm weekdays, good times Saturday AND Sunday.

Okay. Thank you. I'll see what I can do. It's a FedEx shipment but the tracking number doesn't work yet. Apparently it takes a little while to kick in.
I'm in the US, and here you can either :
- pre-sign online (not recommended if noone's home)
- have it redirected to a FedEx pickup center
- have it delivered at work or to a neighbor
- have it held for delivery the next day
I don't think FedEx Canada is any different.
Usually a courier will call up to three times to deliver a parcel that requires a signature.
If your not in , they'll drop a card and call back tomorrow.
I usually have my Fedex shipments redirected to a local Kinkos, which there's one about 5 minutes from work. I think the OP will need to open an account with Fedex to redirect a package, but there's no charge for an account and usually you can redirect it. Totally worth it!
FedEx usually delivers in the evening to home addresses, especially if it is from Apple. They do a lot of Apple deliveries so they are aware people work during the day. I have had many Apple deliveries so I know how FedEx works it.
They will attempt to deliver at least 3 times to your door before they will leave a card attached to your door telling you how you can get your package. The card will give you a number to contact and they will inform you how to go about it. In most cases you will have to go to one of their depots to pick it up after they attempt 3 times to deliver.
Yes I am in Canada.
