It entirely depends on the people. At my old place it was UPS that went out of their way to deliver things early, make sure it wouldn't get stolen, etc. FedEx was the opposite.
Now here in SF USPS is great, except on my carrier's off day. The sub doesn't give a shit, delivering to the wrong address, throwing packages in the bushes, or just leaving packages behind for my normal carrier to deliver a day late.
- inferiorhuman 10y agoEh. I live in San Francisco and USPS was so bad that I broke down and got a PO box a few years ago. I would regularly get people's magazines and whatnot from the same house number a few blocks away. Mail between my house and both of my next door neighbors' houses gets mixed up frequently enough that my landlady put a big sign on the house with instructions for the mail carrier. You're gonna have problems with all carriers at some point. You're talking about a very labor intensive and time sensitive job. Someone's gonna get tired at the end of the day or need to meet unrealistic performance metrics. Shit happens. What put USPS over the top for me though was the PO box. That affords me a semi-anonymous address and the ability to pick up packages at my convenience. If you get a box at the Lakeshore station they're even open on Sundays.
