No delivery attempt slip was left and as I was home at the time I (or my dog) would have heard someone trying to open my mailbox.

My local Post Office does this all the time when something is scheduled for Sunday delivery. They enter it as an attempted delivery and state no one was home, which I find amusing since they are happy to dump stuff right in front of the door any other day of the week, and even more amusing since I am pretty much ALWAYS home. So I usually contact Amazon to tell them that the Post Office is lying again, Amazon then lights a fire under USPS and 9 times out of 10, they send a truck out with my stuff that same day, or first thing the next morning (instead of sending it out with the regular mail delivery).
Amazon has been using their own delivery service more and more in our area lately. We have one warehouse within an hour drive time and the big one in KY is same-day close. It's mostly orders coming from the West Coast warehouses that end up coming via USPS.
