You're in luck!
With UPS, DHL, and FedEx deliveries, once it's on the porch, it's delivered and you have to get a free RMA or use your dime to get the package back.
All of the above also use the USPS in what they call "The last mile". Since the PO delivers door to door already, it's often cheaper for the Unholy Trinity to get it to the city, and pay the USPS to take it to the door.
What this means for you is that you can refuse the delivery even after the carrier has left it. Just draw a slash across the address and take the *unopened* package back to the PO, or toss it in the mail, and it goes back FREE.
If you want any extra service, you have to pay the full freight.
If it's sent to you with Delivery Confirmation, that might make things a little difficult, but I've done it twice, no worries.
