Received a Package in the Mail Today by USPS, but USPS didnt deliver it.

Today I received an unexpected package in the mail from a relative. The package was something that could not have been detected by a dog, and was double packaged with extra tape on the interior package.
I see absolutely no evidence of tampering and it arrived exactly as the relative described on their end. The strange thing is, the USPS mail carrier dropped off my 'normal' mail about an hour before this one was delivered. Unfortunately I did not see WHO delivered the second package, but it arrived approx. 1 hour after my envelopes.
This is a small bubble type package and not something excessively large. No signature was requested and it was never signed for. The return address was present and there was nothing otherwise suspicious about the package AFAIK.
We'll call this some safe but probably unnecessary paranoia, but is it common for a controlled delivery to go down in a fashion like this?
Perhaps my mail man just forgot it and redelivered it further down his route?
Location FL, package was domestic, Florida > Florida transit.
Thanks.

Your just being paranoid.
I got a USPS package yesterday, and it came a few hours before the regular USPS mail.
It was just delivered by another guy.

Thanks, I'm not overly concerned given the lack of visual tampering and no signature, I just found it a little strange.
I appreciate the confirmation, I had suspected as much.

ive had that happen to me before with legitimate packages. But on the safe side, maybe leave the package out there for a day or so with "return to sender" written on it. That way you have plausible deniablility if anything goes down. I mean, its only a day. But you probably good.

I live on in an area that is a turnoff of a main street, but there is four streets back here in a small loop, probably 30 houses total, the mailman here (USPS) sometimes will drive around and drop off the packages he has first, then drop off the regular mail. Sometimes he will drop off the regular mail, then the packages. He always drive the route to drop off the packages and walks the route to drop off what they consider to be 'hand-deliverable' mail. Your postal carrier is merely trying to streamline his route by dropping what is enveloped or paper mail first then driving around and dropping packages. I also imagine, in larger cities, that the mail may be further delegated at the distribution facility, if there is more volume of packages to 'deliverable' mail.

Not exactly, but it did prove to be a non-incident thus far.
I live in a primarily commercial zoned area, so I'm thinking one of the local businesses received a high volume of packages and the mailman simply missed mine and redelivered.
Thanks for the reassurance from.. almost.. everyone
