How can the oldest delivery system be the worst, still? Amazon is new to the game, and they can tell you exactly where the driver is at, how many stops before your house, and when they will arrive. I also get a message within 3 or 4 minutes of it delivering that it's at my door. When my USPS driver pulls up to the house, I wonder if he's going to make it to the next house. Hood's falling off, it squeaks like crazy while it's running.... missing on a cylinder or two....

Fedex is almost as bad. We're about 90% UPS at work now. UPS has better service and way better rates too.

UPS is awesome here. Our drivers are great, and deliveries are left on the back porch every time. FedEx uses contractors, some of whom are good, but others who don't seem to give a flying flip. Packages are left by the garage, outside the gate... one was left at the end of the (400-foot) driveway once.

I follow Mike Portnoy on FB and Instagram.... he posted this. USPS left a MacBook Pro right under a sign he made telling them NOT to leave packages there.

(LOL - and the pic I posted below is from Tweeter)

must be a district thing, the one that just opened up around here is union. But they also start at 17.50 an hour with full benefits, vacation, and PTO starting after the probation period. Sounds too good to be true. Now Kroger, Publix, and all the other grocery stores need to follow suit or get outsourced
