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.
