It's funny, because I actually had this happen exactly once. I had ordered an iPhone 3G for delivery on the first day of its availiability. I was out of the house and rushing back to meet the UPS guy, but missed him. Very disappointed, I called UPS and they said "ok, he will swing back around in 15 minutes, does that work?" I remember being astonished, because as you point out, this never happens. I chalked it up to Apple putting pressure on UPS to deliver all the phones that day. Maybe even providing monetary rewards if over x% of the phones were delivered that day?
- astura 9y agoUPS has been good to me in that regard. I once had a package that needed signature that I wasn't home for. He left the slip on my door. About six hour or so later, towards the end of the driver's shift, he was driving by my house again while I was getting home. He saw a car pull into my driveway so he stopped and brought out the package and gave it to me while I was getting out of the car. Said "I tried to deliver this earlier and nobody was home." Very nice of him to 1) remember and 2) actually care. I have an aquatintance who works at UPS and loves it. YMMV though.
