I fuss with UPS all the time. My regular UPS guy is cool but if I get a package from the secacus hub I know I'm in for a day of calling and keeping track. Thats why cameras on the door step are important. I catch them lying. I know I live in Newark. but my home is in good repair and porch well lit. I expect honest good service for my money. I never had a problem with FEDEX no matter what time of day it is. FYI UPS are teamsters.

USPS dropped ammo about 15 plus ft from my door. It was centered nicely in front of the garage door for anyone who wanted it.

So when usps or ups drop a package at your door and its stolen do they refund the $?

They "lost" my beretta 92fs Inox!!!! Italian version too!

Ahhh, my next purchase..... did you get a replacement? How did that end up working out?

 

Important thing also to recognize that blacksmythe mentioned above is that UPS is union operated. The workers are employees of the company. They do their job on the clock. With Fedex, individuals "own" the routes. They buy rights to a route and then get compensated by the volume of packages they deliver. Thus, they are incentivized to deliver all their packages as quickly as possible. If they finish their load, they can go home.

 

I believe there is a limit to how many routes an individual can "own", but my understanding is an entrepreneur will buy a few routes and then pay people to drive their trucks.

Not yet, it's a hard find.

I'll say, there is something to being friendly with the delivery guys, USPS, FedEx, UPS etc, as well as your garbage and Recycling folks. I never have a problem and they have gone out of their way for me on many occasions.

 

All that for a hey, how ya doing, want a drink, or just shooting the breeze if you and they have time on occasion.
