It’s completely uneven ... I had that same problem with UPS.  Their 
drive kept leaving things in the bushes behind the mailbox rather 
than drive back a narrow 250' driveway.  I had several packages 
lost or damaged that way before that driver was let go.  

However, that is one reason I will not willingly accept UPS if there
is any alternative.
