I would not leave my Pleo, or any other package left unattended while gone, too many weird things can happen, Like Kat said, I would ask the UPS to hold the Pleo till you get back and they will deliver when you get home, Better even one day late then a broken or lost or damaged by rain Pleo. I live in the extreme Northern part of California, and you live not that far from me, in fact my son lives where you live also.
I know we are supposed to get rain on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week which is March 24th and 25th, and where you live , Pacific Northwest often gets the brunt of these spring storms, Do not take a chance with electronical things like Pleos. Waterproof packages are not always waterproof, I know as I have had packages that were supposed to be waterproof and protected, get damaged during shipping, ( rare and not likely ,but it does happen) and even Talon got a package I shipped with a pleo in it, that got a dented corner somehow, (also UPS
) and luckily the Pleo was ok, but that is because I OVERPAD everything not to take a chance.
Please consider having UPS hold and ask for a signature or at least hold unless you want to take a chance, I myself would not. It does not do much good to buy a battery and charger from me then find out your Pleo has electronical damage due to water or moisture or have your pleo " Pleo napped!" Just saying, it does happen. I had someone I know steal one of my pleos, though I could not prove it, so why take a chance.
AS for the address, if bought on ebay, all you have to do is contact the seller and send him the message, The other alternative is if he has not shipped the pleo yet and you do not want your pleo held by UPS, then ask the seller to not ship -till the 24-25th, as most UPS packages, unless in the same state take at least 3 days, but I think UPS holding the package is the one I would do. Good luck and ask your parents what they would do , and I think they would agree to hold the package, In most towns, you can also have UPS or FedEx, etc, hold the package and then pick it up when you get back.
