I have to say I just cringe when it says UPS delivery......We live in a fairly large apartment complete..... our Fedex delivers delivers directly to the inside aptartment doors, USPS delivers to the mailboxes or to the apt office after buzzing the apt occupants and waiting for a reply. UPS.... our driver marks delivered and drops the package in the lobby; if signature is required doesn't bother to bring the package, just posts a attempted delivery notice and where to pick up the next day on the mailbox.

I know we all use UPS and Fed-Ex a lot and wanted to pass on my experience

I had a package coming from Nikon USA via UPS. It was not marked signature required. I have "My Choice" so I tracked the truck all day as it drove past the entrance to my community at least 8 times. About 3:30 I got the "Getting Close" notification, so I went to the living room next to the front door. At 4:00 pm, I got pinged that the package had been delivered, but no picture attached. A moment later I heard the truck drive by without slowing down. I opened the door and there was nothing. Luckily I live in a townhome community with one way in and one way out. I walked to the outbound side and waited. I heard the truck stop and start a few times and stood in the road so he would have to stop when he got to me. I asked him about the package for my address. He just looked at me and reached across to the passenger side under the dashboard and pulled out my box. I asked him why he tagged it delivered when it wasn't. He said he could not find my unit number (all the houses have numbers prominently above the front doors). I asked him why he couldn't find mine when I heard at least 4 stops that he seemed to have found. He just hit the gas and left. My thought is he saw Nikon and figured he could get some free stuff, not knowing I was the rare person that was home and waiting.

Maybe not all porch thieves are out looking for opportunity, sometimes they might drive the truck.

My husband and I had this very problem TWICE. The delivery was being made to a well-marked, place of employment, District Court House in our small town. There is no mistaking finding it. However, it was marked: Delivered. Upon calling, excuse was: Could not locate address!

I have high respect for these hardworking gents and ladies. It only takes a few to ruin the reputation for many.

Our solution: Have unit delivered to the nearest FedEx or UPS Store directly and have it held until you can pick it up. This presented no issues.
