I've lived and worked a bunch of places, both big cities and now out in 
the country. My universal experience with UPS has been that their drivers 
1) are assigned to routes for long enough periods that they know their 
customers; and 2) they are VERY accommodating and sensitive to the 
needs/desires of their customers; 3) are well hired (that is, good people, 
good attitude). 

At my house in Chicago, I wanted nothing left on my porch, but was happy 
to have neighbors accept them (and do the same for my neighbors). I had 
also had an issue with fraud, with someone ordering stuff in my name. UPS 
was very responsive to my needs. In the businesses where I worked, UPS 
drivers came in the door straight to the shipping area/department, did 
their business, and left with no disruption to other things going on. 
Indeed, we always felt comfortable with their presence and activity. 

By contrast, I had MAJOR issues with another shipper (not FedEx) who some 
vendors used because they were cheap, and who would leave packages 
anywhere between the lawn and the porch.
