UPS

Did you ask for the postmaster for that PO? They may not be able to force them, but if you give them a sob story about what you have to go through, they should be able to strongly 'suggest' that they make a little more effort. Either that or put a sign on the box that says "honk" on days you think you'll get something.

Talked to the new Postmaster once last month due to this same situation, she most empahatically told me "This stops now!" , the package in question that time DID show up at my door the next day, however a week later, the same thing. Pink slip in my mailbox, no attempt whatsoever to deliver to my door. When I went to to the PO to get the package, I tried to talk to her but was politely told she wouldn't see me. To be fair to her though, the person I talked to out front didn't even attempt to go get her, She sort of whispered to me conspiratorially "She won't come out to talk to you." Which I found kind of suspicious.
Can you say "Run-around" ?
 
I have decent neighbors and we watch out for each other. That said...

UPS, hardly a problem with them. Love the tracking. Just received a bass from a fellow TBer yesterday. Everything great.

USPS, hardly a problem here either. Not much to their tracking other than to say delivered. Neighbors have had problems because one of the carriers won't deliver if their dogs are out in their fenced yard when she comes around (little yapper dogs). If she only know what was behind my door... Saint Bernard!

FedEx, somehow these A-holes love to change my address. I give it to the sender, the sender has it correct on the shipper, but FedEx CHANGES it half the time. The street name. Sounds like a golf but it isn't spelled that way, it's different. But they spell it Golf anyhow, then when they go out for delivery, they leave a slip in my door saying my address is wrong and they can't deliver and I have to drive 15 miles to their place to pick it up and guess what? Their hours end at 5.
