I guess I am fortunate, I have a 1/4 mile unpaved driveway - at the end of a 3/4 mile unpaved private road in our large lot subdivision (8+ acres for each lot. The house cannot be seen until you get halfway up the driveway. UPS delivers to my front door and USPS does the same for packages

For UPS, Insurance of $1000 or more or a request for a direct signature will require that someone at your home sign for the delivery. With USPS, that signature threshold is $500. Normally, they will attempt to re-deliver the next business day. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/19/2018 8:39 AM, tnnyswy---

I have had good luck with USPS, but am less than thrilled with UPS.  My K3 has been on its way back from Watsonville and was to arrive yesterday, but I wasn't home when UPS came by.  Imagine my surprise to see that a signature was required, and that they will try again today, but with no
