In my experience (at least 30 years), UPS has always had great drivers 
who get to know their customers. In two businesses where I worked, the 
drivers walked in the delivery door (usually unattended by those 
businesses), dropped off packages and picked up what we had. In the 
rental that I had for 20 years in a Chicago residential neighborhood, in 
the Chicago home I owned for 20 years, and now here in CA in the woods, 
I've gotten to know my drivers within a few months. We've developed a 
relationship, they know what to do with anything they have for me, and I 
know how to hail them to give them a package for shipment. My wife and I 
get an average of two UPS deliveries a week, without any problems.

Bottom line --get to know your UPS person and everything will go smoothly.

BTW -- if you want lousy service and careless deliveries without a 
signative, try DHL. In my busy Chicago neighborhood, they repeatedly  
threw valuable packages across my fence, only a few feet from the 
sidewalk, where anyone could have picked them up. I never used them, but 
some el cheapo computer vendors who I bought stuff from did.
