Much depends on the local UPS facility and the particular driver. I've had both good and poor experiences with UPS over the years. Sometimes their tracking information is not updated, packages get mishandled or misplaced, etc. Last week the UPS delivery guy searched for my package 15 minutes in front of my house and then finally said he would have to track it down because it was placed on the wroong truck although he had it on his delivery schedule. Worked out OK, but a day late.

FedEx seemingly is more careful in my area about leaving packages, etc. I try to use USPS every chance I get. Only quibble I have is that their Flat Rate large box is too small for many items although there is a 70lb Flat Rate limit. Can't fit CDP's, etc. in their large FR boxes.
