Phone the passport office or have your mail redirected or advise the previous address people that you will collect your mail if they can let you know.

I received mine just popped into my door's post box by a courier I think. No signature was required and they didn't even knock.

I had ticked the option and paid for special delivery this January. Mine came late in evening and guy literally shouted "Passport for you" when I opened the door :lol: and had me signed.

Passports are delivered by DX courier. In my interview I was told that since I live in a flat, I will be required to sign upon taking delivery so signature thing is purely based on where you live.

Phone the passport line(not the interview appointment line) again and enquire about it. Use the bar code reference number instead and they may be able to give you more information.
