We now have one of those package/large mail sections in our community mailbox. We've had USPS come to the door a number of times for packages. If they do, they come in the afternoon sometime. Also, we've had the pink slip to go collect the package as well even though someone's been home.
I've had to call UPS once to get them to come back because the tracking on their website said they made a delivery attempt when I know full well they did not because I was home when they said they tried to deliver the package.
We've had a problem when UPS used to use these home drivers who just left a very important package in the public entryway (in the apartment we were living in at the time) and it was stolen. We were in and waiting for it and the buzzer was never rung. The seller was able to get us another item sent out via overnight FedEx and we got it in time. But if we had not, I was seriously considering legal action against UPS.
I've seen a package from FedEx arrive like they bashed it every which way and the contents were pretty broken.
One silly thing was that I ordered a Logitech Wireless mouse online from Staples (was $9.99 and I had a 30% off coupon and free shipping) and yes, it came on time via Staples own shipping company. But, the silly part was the size of the box for a small mouse package.
Then there's the wait in for the package and it doesn't arrive until nearly 7pm. That was UPS. Now UPS gets it here by 5pm.
You cannot let any of these delivery services get away with some of their nonsense. You have to keep on top of them and keep a watch on what they do and what they say they do. Otherwise, fool on you.
