Default Ups, Fed Ex,

I know these delivery people are busy, but is it too much to ask that they ring the doorbell and let me know when I have a package/s?

Yesterday I tracked a package from UPS and it said arrival 3 AM, out for delivery. That package didn't come until after 9:30 PM and then I found it tossed behind the bushes near my front porch.
Other times packages are left on my porch from them and Fed Ex. I can have my car out front, lights on in the house, and still, these delivery people won't ring my doorbell and let me know.
I have never had any items stolen, but it could happen.

We actually (our office) called UPS and complained about this problem, they would leave the packages downstairs at the back door, I cant see who is coming and going from the front of the building, second floor, for cripes sake. I told the woman from now on if someone didnt sign for the package, we would claim it as never having arrived... they would end up getting charged from the shipper. That put a stop to it real fast... they now bring all packages to my office and get a signature.

My UPS driver dropped off my package (a part for my transmission I had needed, like, yesterday!) off at a business! Some random business!

I made them meet me at a gas station the next day so I could take it to my shop. I couldve killed them! lol

Call and complain, and or report it never recieved or something. My UPS guy rings the doorbell, usually in the middle of nap! but I would rather that than not know.

THe post office folk never ring the bell, and we can go longer than a day (they leave it at the fornt door, we leave by the garage, out of sight of said front door)

I got upset because I rarely use my front door. I found some candy had been shipped and left outside all night long. (it was christmas time)

Best thing to do if you work outside the home is have them deliver to your office. That way you own't miss them.
