This is a rant.

I understand that UPS makes most of its revenue off business deliveries which require strict "Before X:00 AM/PM" deliveries, and in that regard residential deliveries aren't their major concern. But not giving paying customers access to an ETA during the day and making them sit by the door for up 14+ hours because signatures are required on some packages is not a reasonable request.

A few months ago, I had the window open but where I was sitting in the room was behind some bushes so I could see out well but the deliverer couldn't see me. The man had the audacity to come to my door with a "Missed You" slip and gave three really quiet knocks before I quickly opened the door and made him get my package. That is absolutely terrible service.

So, a friendly word of warning if you're given the option: Always go FedEx over UPS.

I've ordered only slightly less from FedEx than UPS (mostly because everything I order doesn't give me a choice of which one I want), but every order that's came from FedEx has not only showed up at a decent time (like 10-11am right after I wake up) but also gives me an ETA during the day on when it'll arrive.

I know all of this is completely anecdotal, but here in Kissimmee, FedEx has been overall superior.

fedex is really no different, and I've had usps workers basically throw the slip on the door without knocking.
I'll flat out tell people to never request signatures when they ship things to me.

Weird, I've never had an issue with UPS.  FedEx and USPS yeah, especially with that not knocking bullshit while I'm literally downstairs

USPS has been losing my packages recently. They get to my area's central post office and then stop moving. It's bullshit.
