good old UPS
yesterday I had two boxes on my porch wrong address one had a USPS and UPS label the other UPS only
but local USPS gets involved in both UPS and USPS so I took them down to the PO found out they never touched them all ON UPS I told them I would find the true owner and deliver them they were to report to the UPS driver today what he did , I took them to a neighbor I seldom ever see or talk too and was nice enough to take time to do it ( should have kept them 😐️ )
now today My oldest son tells me UPS has marked as delivered a 800.00 camera lens delivered yesterday
so UPS tells him go around and ask the neighbors if they have it he told them to pound sand he has no idea where the driver left it .
I can not say for sure but odds are the neighbor who I received his package has it ( he received a packag of mine a couple years ago ( thats another story but he never said or gave it to me ) ,
just venting I guess but the names and address are no where close just the same road only thing in common and second of course being a honest fellow its hurts knowing a neighbor has a 800.00 lens and has to know it was not there's as it has our name and address and second UPS wanted my son to go ask for it back like that would end well . they told him just file a claim then
he contacted the seller and UPS of course and left it to them to replace or pay for it

Unfortunately that is VERY common around here FedEx, ups,usps.....seems none of them care. We have found our packages on another road, 5 blocks from our house, and an abandoned house!(just luckily found those while riding bicycle and hopeing to find em). We had(moved recently and no close neighbors) packages delivered to our house that wasn't our. I believe the drivers do it on purpose, in a hurry, can't find the address, then just drop it off and hit delivered on their hand held. We used to have the SAME ups driver and he was AWESOME. Now it's a diff person every other delivery!

I see posts on Facebook all the time asking if anyone knows a person and trying to figure out where a package is supposed to go. I'd be SO MAD if I saw one of my boxes being posted about on Facebook.

I love my UPS and USPS guys, they all know me take good care of the packages and make sure I get what I am supposed to get. If you have issues with your UPS guy go to the hub and speak to the manager. He will get it fixed.

Same as everywhere else.
Some people are conscientious and others couldn't give 💩💩.
Seems like a lot more of one than the other.

Our regular UPS, FED-EX, even postal workers are great but fill ins vacation coverage all them seem to not give a hoot
our regular UPS route driver was by earlier I ask he if he knew who ran the route yesterday while he was off , he told me he had no idea and the local PO (told him about the packages I had wrong ) but they had never seen the guy before just a fill in for the day and also told me well you know if you got your neighbors 99% odd they have yours .. and was upset over the drivers poor performance , not that it matters but he was visibly upset also), while talking to him I told him about the UPS office suggesting we go looking, sure we do that LOL.. he agreed don't go after the package just file the clam and avoid problems that would sure to arise

My regular UPS guy is great.
A story: I was going to display some "items" at an event. I did not want to put them on normal height tables, because it makes it too easy for folks to handle them. "Do not handle" signs are totally worthless because evidently stupid people can't read either. Anyway I thought I would put the "items" on tables . . . but put milk crates under the tables in order to lower them to a height that would better allow the police officers to see who was bending down to handle some things that were not to be handled. I got on-line and found where to buy milk crates. I special ordered the color - because I like green.
Anyway, we were getting ready to head to "the city" for our anniversary, but I had been tracking the delivery and knew it was going to arrive that evening. We were going to be gone for the weekend and I was too thrilled to have the pile of milk crates sitting outside while we were gone. Finally, around 7:00 PM, there was a knock on the back door. It was the UPS guy. He figured I wanted to unload the boxes in the garage. He was right - so we headed to the garage. As we were unloading them, he asked if the boxes (about 6 of them) actually contained milk crates since the manufacturers name was printed on the outside. I told him that indeed I had ordered a bunch of milk crates. His comment?
"I wondered. I have just never seen anyone buy them."
Then there was that one time the USPS mail carrier brought me a box. He wanted to deliver it as early as he could because it was

My office is at the house, so I have a fair bit of UPS/ Fedex/ USPS/ Amazon coming and going.
At the end of my porch is a small basket- bottles of water, packs of peanuts/ cheese crackers/ pretzels- sign that say "Delivery Drivers- THANK YOU! And please help yourself!"
Amazing how that works.

Yep, been there, done that. Delivered packages on my own dime to correct recipients, and gone house to house to try and locate my mis-delivered packages as well. UPS actually delivered a gun to a neighbor and left it on their front porch, wrong address and ignored the signature required. I raised hell about that one.

UPS didn't deliver a package I ordered off of GB yesterday. It was strange the seller had the right address. So I decided to go to the hub to pick it up after notifying them. Well the track number this morning said it was out for delivery. It came after lunch and the driver took 2 packages from me to the hub. Worked out fine.
