If the item is LOST, nobody will be responsible for it.
If the mail is thin enough to be slotted into your mailbox, it will be there.
If it is bulky, the postman will send it to your place. Some postmen are kind, they issue you a collection card, and then you can head down to the post office printed there to collect your mail. Some postmen leave the mail AT YOUR DOOR.
There are even complaints whereby the postman left a parcel on top of the mailbox.
