Shipping: UPS Ground vs. FedEx Ground

The only problem that I've had with the local UPS delivery here is
that he leaves the package and rings the bell, and then it's a race
to see if I can open the door before I see The Big Brown Truck drive
off.

That was decided years ago. Numerous friends who work for UPS
tell me that, maybe ten or fifteen years ago, the beancounters figured
the extra deliveries that could be made instead of waiting for sigs
would easily cover the cost of stolen-off-the-doorstep shipments.

A friend told one of these people that a $600 antenna had been
left in plain sight under his exterior stairway and it might have been
nice to claim it wasn't delivered so he could have a spare for his
summer home.

I have checked the UPS Tracking system for all deliveries made when
I wasn't home and quite a number of them state "delivered to
addressee" rather than "left at destination".

Truth or consequences.....without a requirement for a sig, guess who
always wins.
