The UPS guy in my area is great. He rings the bell or knocks and leaves the package by the front door. The FEDEX guy on the other hand always leaves the package leaning against the garage door. I expect some day to open the garage door and back over one his deliveries.
From my own experiences we have the best postal system in the world.
I do not use UPS or FEDEX - too expensive. Besides, a good deal of the UPS packages get to where they are going by way of the USPO. Why pay the additional cost.
