Its funny how different the delivery companies are to different parts of the country. In my particular area of NoDak, UPS is really good and can find people with fairly vague local directions. USPS is pretty ok, but has absolutely no home delivery. FedEx and FedEx Ground[1] have earned my total hatred. FedEx overnight is often FedEx 3 day and they are the only delivery company that has made me drive 90 miles to get a package because they weren't going to deliver it for a week. Never mind the condition of some of the packages we get. 1) I thought they were the same company but was told differently in a pretty rude tone by one of their drivers this was not the case.

My experience is that UPS works a lot better in rural areas. When I lived in a small town off the freeway but otherwise in the middle of nowhere, UPS had a very small service center in town (open an hour a day because it was staffed by the driver) and kept 2-day deliveries on schedule. When the whole town was snowed in, they couldn't get the trucks out, but still showed up at the service center so you could pick things up. FedEx didn't have a service center within an hour, always missed their delivery estimates, and a couple of times declared addresses undeliverable for no clear reason. When the town was snowed in, they just lost a package forever.
