I think they delivere it if, they have a truck going close to the
location so that it could work that delivery into their route. They do
whatever will cost less, and they have completely computerized their
delivery routes to maximize efficiency. I think the USPS charges other

I've been enjoying the full customer failed-delivery journey experience with a
couple of carriers over the last two weeks.
With one of them today I logged a query on their system. In response I received
three emails over the space of an hour to tell me they'd logged my case. Each

Well, FWIW, my experience is USPS is they still do allow their carriers the
leeway to use some common sense ... at least here in Raleigh.
And I've noticed lately that for some smaller packages (books, T-shirts & small
repair parts) UPS & FedEx are both handing off to USPS for the last mile;
Actually, that's not quite correct.
Both UPS and FedEx have introduced the lower-cost option when the
"last-mile" delivery (more exactly, within your city/region) is done by
the USPS. It is called "UPS Mail Innovations" and "FedEx SmartPost",

Actually UPS uses the USPS for final delivery for small items so even if
UPS is your carrier, you don't know who's ultimately responsible for
final delivery...
This is especially problematic if you expect UPS since if you have a P.
O. Box and no mail receptacle at your physical address USPS
The USPS used to allow, informally, a lot of leeway to their employees,
at least in smaller towns. Now all rules must be followed good bad or
indifferent. This leads to scenarios where the locals who know their
customers have to do things that are antithetical to good customer

UPS, FedEx, USPS, and I assume, Canada Post, - all they are large machines
that are designed to work well on average for the planned scenarios.
And humans (employees) are not given much freedom to think and make
decisions.
Any disturbances that break those scenarios can lead to unpredictable
