I have had minor problems with FedEx, never with UPS or USPS. Our home is fairly isolated, a long driveway off the end of a 300 meter-long quiet deadend street. Our regular UPS guy, Mike, leaves our packages on the porch or inside the garage… If there is a to-be-signed-for delivery coming, we know that he will be at our place either at 12:20pm or 4:55pm.
