The bad news, apparently the UPS driver does not know street names or
numbers or doesn't care.
That's unusual among the UPS drivers I've dealt with over more than 30
years. All that I've encountered have been first rate. The driver who
delivered to the hi-fi/pro audio shop where I worked almost 40 years ago
had a key to the back door!
I can't say the same for USPS -- the last good one we had was back in
Chicago, and he retired more than 20 years ago. I've had perfectly
addressed, and perfectly legible, packages mis-delivered, on several
occasions found months later. Like Bob's, good neighbors, lousy workers.
I've had checks take two weeks to get from Chicago to Santa Cruz (my
checks -- twice -- to a contractor who was working on our new home
before we moved in).
The service that delivers for amazon prime out here is AWFUL -- I think
they're called OnTrac. My neighbor has amazon prime and had packages
with valuable stuff in them left on the ground by a big matrix of
outdoor rural mailboxes almost two miles from his home. He told amazon
to NEVER use them again, and why. They use unmarked white vans, and have
been seen cruising isolated neighborhoods at night.
