I have always had good service from UPS. I surmise the quality of their service varies from one area to another, and depends on the local management and drivers. I knew the two drivers whose routes included my off9ce, and we called each other by our respective first names. They were loyal employees and eager to please their local customers. I don't have the same relationship with the drivers who serve my home neighborhood, but their service has been dependable and on-time. In bad weather they leave the packages on my front stop under the roof, rather that at the garage door, and ring the bell to let us know something is there.
It seems of late Amazon is doing a lot of Sunday deliveries (I am expecting a package this afternoon). They seem to be using USPS trucks and drivers for that; I assume because USPS normally does not deliver on Sundays.
