This is very important to me since I will be out of the state starting Dec. 12 and won't be back until the new year. If it is shipped during that time via UPS, my box will be sitting on my porch for all to see and may get stolen. I recently moved to the area so do not know anyone I can ask to pick it up for me! This is very distressing to me. Please tell me it is being sent USPS!
